Text Book Encourages Reading
By GAY PAULEY
United Press Correspondent
New York W Educators
often are so concerned with the
books children read they forget
the children, says Charles J.
Calitri, an education consultant.
As a result, Calitri said, the
child regards reading as a chore
rather than as a source of en
joyment. He feels compelled to
search for what the author put
into the book instead of discov
ering what he, the reader, can
get out of it.
Calitri believes educators
should direct their attention to
the children's desires and in
terests. The education consultant and
Frank Jennings, executive di
rector of the Library Club of
America, have put this idea to
work in their next text book,
"Stories."
Involves Reader
They said their book is aimed
directly at young people. It is de
signed for use as the focal point
for classroom discussion in
which the teacher urges the stu
dents to give their own reac
tions to the stories.
"The reader must honestly
and freely express what he feels
and what he thinks, for in this
double involvement he may best
approach that kind of under
standing which marks the begin
ning of maturity," Calitri said.
He said most high school liter
ature courses are the same as
studies in mathematics and
icience. The teacher has the an
swer in his own book and tries
to lead his students to those an
swers only.
"As a result," he said, "the
students are told what they must
think about each story.
Only Classroom Task
"In many instances," Calitri
said, "when there are questions
at the end of each story, the
students read the questions first
and then the story
reading
only to answer the Questions."
In an interview, Calitri sai eft
that with the text books used
today, it is no wonder that many
of our children stop reading to
watch television when their
homework assignments are com
pleted. "There is no incentive for the
student to read beyond the de
mands of the teacher," he said.
"The short story or the novel
remains a classroom task, and an
uninviting one at best," he said.
Calitri explained that modern
teaching demands that the stu
dent be emotionally and intel
lectually involved in his reading
and that the most important
question to be asked during the
classroom discussion is, "what
does this story mean to you?"
"If it doesn't mean anything
but work, both the book and the
teacher have failed," he said.
