Mrs. Clarice Poor
To Discuss Reading
At Parents' Meeting
Third meeting for parents of
pre-school children will be held
at 2 o’clock Monday afternoon,
April 8. in the primary building,
according to Mrs. Clarice Poor,
elementary principal.
Program topic will be “Your
Child and Reading.” Mrs. Poor
will discuss the various ways a
child indicates his being ready to
learn to read.
Those attending will participate
in some of the reading readiness
and phonics lessons that next
year’s first graders will have.
Some form of demonstration will
be made of first grade reading so
that parents may have an idea of
the performances to expect of a
normal first grader after six or [
seven months of school.
Visitation days for pre-school­
ers will be during the afternoons
of April 16 and 18. Mrs. Poor said.
