Beginner Reading Programs Lack Flexibility
Ry DAVID NYDICK
I PI Education Specialist
Increasing numbers of children
who are starting school know
how to read to some extent. What
do the schools do with these child
ren. Many systems throughout the
nation do not begin a formal read
ing program in the kindergarten.
The leaching of reading in kin
dergarten has been discouraged
by some educators. The children
are given a readiness program.
This consists of experiences de
signed to prepare them for learn
ing how to read.
Children arriving at school ex
pect to learn more about read
ing. They are excited about this
prospect. But some schools place
them back in a preparatory phase.
This thinking was realistic 30
years ago. Children needed exper
iences to help them with learning
to rend. Today, they probably
have been exposed to more var
ied experiences than even the
schools previously provided.
Media Provide Experiences
Books, newspapers, television,
radio, and movies are major fac
tors. Parents also contribute with
increased travel, nursery schools,
etc. This is not completely true
for all children, but surely there
is a vast number who fit into this
category. Recognizing that indi
viduals are 'different, there arc
certainly those children who are
not ready even in first grade.
Reading programs are usually
based on a series of textbooks.
There are one or more books and
accompanying teacher's manuals
for each grade level (pre-primer,
primer, 1st grade. 2nd. 3rd. etc
The manual specifically tells the
teacher each step to be taken,
This organized approach is sim
ple and inviting. The children are'
placed in groups with each group
moving slowly or rapidly as they
learn the skills. Why don't they
all learn to read?
All of these children are expect
ed to read in Uie same books
and learn by the same methods
If they don't understand at the
first attempt the lessons are re
pealed. The results are that some
fourth graders are reading in
second grade book. How can they
find interest and enthusiasm in
immature stories? It is just as
unrealistic for a third grader to
read the stories written lor
fifth or sixth grader.
Teacher Exercise Skills
Perhaps the answer lies with
the teacher. A teacher should be
well trained in the teaching of
reading skills. This is not always
the case. She then relies on the
manual instead of feeling secure
and using her own creative ap
proach. The good teacher who has
learned to recognize problems
and who is free to use various
methods can often, through her
own creative efforts, reach the
child who is having difficulty.
Obviously, the typical reading
program lacks the flexibility to
meet the needs ot all cnnciren
There is a need for the develop
ment of reading programs which
recognize that different children;
should begin reading at different
ages; learn at different rates
have manv different interests;
need material suited to their lev
el and interest; sometimes have
physical or emotional problems

TOURIST TRADE ENCOURAGED Famous for its deep clear waters and abundant
giant-sized trout, Blue Lake has often been off-limits to auto traveling tourists be
cause of the poor access roads. In an effort to accommodate more outdoor enthus
iasts.' the U.S. Forest Service recently completed a $25,000 project for new graveled
roads and 35 new camping facilities. The lake is located 36 miles south of Allures in
the Warner mountains.

Coopcrrider, announced Sept. 12
that recently alloted federal aid
funds will be used to fence the
Blue Lake camping area and to
help in carrying out ihe'-genoral
clean-up, fix-up program.
Cooperrider noted lhat the new
fence will not be used to exclude
the use of the adjacent range from
cattle, but to limit the grazing
time the area is used. The pas
ture will be opened to grazing
at the times it is not used greatly
for recreation.
"Most likely we will use this
pasture for a holding field when
the cattlemen are gathering their
cattle before hunting season," he
said.
Blue Lake is in the heart of Mo
doc County's Warner Mountains
where the mule deer arc preve
lent. The lakeside campsites are
used in the fall as base camps
for hunters.
