HEPPNER GAZETTE-TIMES, Thursday. December 19, 1963 Remedial Reading Aimed For Specific Pupil Help (Editor's Note: Because of interest shown in the remedial reading program in Morrow schools, we have asked Hillard Brown to write an explanation of the program. Following is first of two articles.) By HILLARD BROWN Principal, Heppner Elementary School Our Heppner Elem e n t a r y ocnooi now nas a remedial read ing department for grades two through the eighth grade. The remedial reading class of fers specific help directed toward the particular needs of children who have reading problems. Dur ing this special instruction it is hoped the child may gain enough reading power to be able to ben efit by the regular teaching in one of the reading groups in his room. Small sessions of daily' help are given to the pupils. Usually the schedule Is arranged for help during the time others in the class are working on reading activities. The children placed in the remedial program have normal or superior intelligence i They have the capacity to aohieve but have not done so because of per. haps a dislike for reading or lack of confidence and interest and frequently avoids all oppor tunities to learn to read. Precautions are taken to keep tne remedial group from being filled with children who are slow learners or those who have emotional problems but are not in need of remedial help. Our classroom teachers eval uate the child's deficiency and will then refer the child to the remedial class for further test- Reading Program Described at PTA It was decided at the regularly scheduled meeting of the PTA, held last Wednesday evening, to postpone the next regular meet ing until January 15, so it will not follow so soon after the holi days. The program will be an nounced later. Mrs. Paul Brown was elected by the executive committee as chairman of the nominating committee along with Mrs. John Hanna and Mrs. Ray E. Smith, who were elected by the tinit. Nominations for next years of ficers will be held in February. A number of sweatshirts in Heppner school colors were sold at the meeting. They are also being sold in the schools. The meeting was highlighted by an informative demonstration and discussion of developmental reading, described by Mrs. L. E. Dick, who is teaching this form of reading to the high school. Developmental reading is a mechanical means of learning to read with more speed and com prehension with the aid of pac ing machines and by projecting the reading material on a screen for certain lengths of time. Mrs. Marion Green, Mrs. Ern est McCabe and Mrs. Jim Myers represented the third grade as the third grade room mothers. Concluding the evening, mem bers joined together to sing Christmas carols as Gordon Pratt accompanied them on the piano. Knitters Organize A beginners knitting 4-H club was organized November 6 with Mrs. William Spohn as leader. Kathy Holtz, Betty Greenup, Frances Wiley, Helen Byrnes and Christine McCabe are club mem bers. Officers are Kathy Holtz, president; Betty Greenup, vice president; Christine McCabe, sec retary and news reporter. The name of the club is the Busy Needles. The group met at Mrs. Spohn's home after school No vember 13, November 26 and December 4 for club meetings and instructions in knitting. A knitted pot holder is the first pro ject of the group. Christine McCabe, reporter WW Ing. Here the child is given num erous tests to locate the pupil's strengths and weaknesses. Special attention is given to complicating factors, such as physical defects, the family un derstanding the problem, and emotional tensions either at home or at school. The child faces a problem of acquiring new skills more rap idly than the child who has made regular progress. This re quires more practice directed to ward specific weaknesses than is needed by the child with no reading problem. We start the pupil with ma terial highly Interesting to him and with which he can have early success. Since the child with a reading problem often comes to the class sure he is going to fail, it is important there is concrete evidence that this time he has success. Special devices serve an im portant function since the Child has not profited from meth ods used in the normal class room procedures in the past. Above everything else coop eration between home and school aid in convincing the child that he is going to make satisfactory progress. Mrs. Amy Reid, 81 Dies in Pendleton Funeral services were held Monday In Pendleton for Mrs. Amy Z. Reid, 81, who died at St. Anthony's hospital in Pen dleton Wednesday, December 11.

Gazette Times office. 28-tfx FOR CHRISTMAS with a... MOTOROLA clock radio The holly tree and its brightly berried branches hold an important place not only in holiday decorations but in the legends and lore of Christmas. An old belief in England and Germany was that there are "he" and "she" hollies the "he" hollies with spined leaves, the "she" hollies smooth-leaved. The varieties brought into the house at Christmas supposedly showed who would head the household for the coming year "he" or "she." A variation on this custom said that if the holly was brought into the house in fair weather, the wife would rule. dui it me weatner was Dad, tne husband would be master. Holly was credited with manv maeical and medical powers. It was believed to cure toothaches, banish rickets, ,o and even foretell to girls the names of their future husbands.
