Tots Learn to Read By Talking on Paper' it Patricia McComiark Experts Warn Of Baby Food Contamination Evanston, III. -IliPII- Mothers can protect llierr babies from the danger of contaminated food by checking for signs that baby jars have been open ed - before buying. "Experience shows that! some people, unaware of, or j indifferent to, the dangers of bacterial contamination, open jars of baby food in the store, sometimes taste the contents. and return them to the shelves,'' reports the Ameri- j can Academy of Pediatrics' committee on nutiritton. Two types of safety fea- t fun,.; nil vm w ill rn. veal whether the jar has been opened or has lost its vacuum A flexible button in the center of the cap should be depressed, as if it had been sucked in by the vacuum in the jar. If the vacuum is lost, the button pops up and can be pressed up and down with, the finger. On a two-piece cap. three parallel lines run across the top of the jar until il has been opened. Then, Ihc lines in the center section of I lie cap no longer matc'i with the lines at the rim. "A jar with a good vacuum gives a definite sound when opened," said the committee. The mother should listen for i the sound when opi ning a jar. l and if she does nut hear it, discard the food. By PATRICIA MeCORMACK United Press International Westport, Conn. -IUPD- "I sow a babe hors. And the nex da I gav hur ots and ha." The first grad er who wrote that horse sto ry was "talk ing on paper" - an exercise d e signed to help him . learn to read. Never mind the mangled spelling, lcacner Margaret Farcas who uses the "talking on paper" technique in a read ing program at Saugatuck school here says no effort is ever made to correct the pho netic spelling. "The writing is part of a program to develop auditory perception - the ability to rec ognize and discriminate sound patterns; words, that is," Mrs. Fareas reports In a "story book" her students wrote for parents. The children are encour aged from the very beginning of the year to write down any word that they can say. This is "talking on paper." Why isn't spelling correct ed? Mrs. Farcas explains it this way: Is Creative Effort "This is the child's own cre ative effort. He is experiment ing with the sound of words. Even more important, he is using as complex a language Prehistoric Man Taught By DAN PIENAAR United Press International Johannesburg, South Afri ca (UPI)-Prchistoric man in structed his children in more realistic art forms than do contemporary parents. But i that's not all. Prehistoric children posi tively were encouraged to draw on walls!

The technique, demonstrat ed effective in the teaching of reading, just seems to set the children off on the wrong foot where spelling's concern ed. As the students become more proficient in reading. they begin t make their own visual corrections in spelling. In effect, they are acquiring a very practical knowledge of how words are built and put together. "Some of the students al ready are developing a keen appreciation of how words are spelled," Mrs. Farcas said. One of the contributors to "Story Land" - title of the booklet - seems to have pass ed through the transition stage. Excerpts from her sto ry: "My dog went outside and he was a little puppy. He saw a nest in a tree. It was a bizzzs nest and he got sting on his nose and it hrnde him." Excerpts from other stories by the first graders: -"I lik the good things God gav us. He gav us the i'lowrs and the sunshin and the rane and the trees and the birds and the buturfilys and wotur and ol the things in the wor lud. I love the things that God gave us.
