NEWS OF JUNIOR HIGH Seat Do you ever have the feeling that you are lacking in words which will adequately express your thoughts? Most people do. One of the areas in which weaknesses are found in students is vocabulary. This year the teachers in the English department of jthe Junior high school are attempting to upgrade the vocabulary of all students. In addition to teaching the student to appreciate the volume of reading for story and its development, the teachers are stressing reading for depth. The vocabulary used in the textbook often seems to escape the students; therefore the overall reading picture can become distorted, and the students lose much of the educational benefits which should be derived from reading. One theory of reading specialists seems to be that the improvement of vocabulary willautomatically benefit the students in all courses of study. Therefore it seems advisable to devote more attention to vocabulary building. Each week students will be given vocabulary tests which will consist of words taken from their reading experience of that week. Records and tapes will be incorporated into the study in order to acquaint the students with words and their usage in everyday speech. If you would like to lend assistance in this program, encourage the student -to use the dictionary at home.
