Sue Baker conducted a cuss ion on how people read Miss Baker told the staff that research seems to in that some of the old Ideas about how people read are not true Reading Is not a iroccss of moving from to words to sentence and therefore under standing the meaning of the sentence If this were true we would forget the beginning of a sentence before we readied the end of it Instead a reader makes predictions about what comes next in a sentence If the meaning makes sense to the reader he is reading fectivcly Miss Baker feels that it Is very important for teachers to realize how reading takes place if they are to be able to help students with their reading problems BRANCHES GROW b inks have brinches in and for a total of I0 Addresses please Santa Santa Claus made a long distance phone call
