Never mind
the mangled

"The writing is part of a

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

this way:

fear that he is doing it wrong
because he does not yet know
how to spell."
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
