ORONO WEEKLY TIMES, TIILRSDAY, FEBRUARY 1Oth, 1966 The Seminar Reaction to the àrst of the tbreeë reading, Seminars sponsonedI by the Durham District High Sebhool Board has, if seem-s, created more questions than it bas answers. Pos-' sibly this as a good neaction for if may stimulate greater interest in the coming two Seminars as teacbers of both elemnentamy and secondary sehools seek answers f0 improve poor reading habits. The Seinar did however point out tbe tact tbat theme is a problemn and one wbhich can not be corected with a few suggestions or withiu a scant few weeks, Dr. Margaret Ealy, one of the Syracuse University professons who gave a demonstration of "teaching readiug in litenature" te a Grade 8 class, said aftemwamds that Fhe had a difficult time and had net accomplished hem purpose. The demonstration was a failume other than if did point out the poblem of pon comprehension which with the demnonstration class was far below the grade 8 level., She point ed ouf thaf she had selected the best por- tion of literatume in the textbook for the lesson. The main ideas in this selection, she said, were clearly outlined. "The difficulfy," she said, "arose because of lack of background. The youngstems nead womds and sentences with- ouf seeing the relationsbip between tbem. They take the an- swers at face value. In group discussions it was pointed ouf that there is a poblem te moftivate students to read. Thene is no clIear-cut answer other than backgmound and possibly an e-anly interest bnough to youngsters on books. One remned- ili eading teacher stafed how fortunate a chld was f0 have thieir parents rend to fhem. The Orono Public Sehool this year have conducted re-ading, tests in grades 3 and 5. These, we undiemstand, are povided by the High School Board and ne doubt will be intensified following the Seminar as Dr. Ealy states thaf tests should be given eveny year in order that, weaknesses eau be correctedl coninually as a student progresses tbmough Parents can cerf ainly help by encounaging reading and mnembership in local libraries where books are more, plenitiful tlîan in the public scilool libraries, wtîich in this area have been pitifutl. In any evýent the problem of poor meadling habits is under attack.
