this is language arts Reading Is A Must In Today’s Busy World

The language arts curriculum of Syracuse junior high school was designed to help pupils reach a high degree of competence in their use and understanding of the English language. Each pupil has the right to receive experiences in the communication skills that will be useful to him as a citizen of his community and country. Miss Patricia Kurtz, Mrs. Allene Froehlich, Carroll Denton and Mrs. Gladys Preston make up the language arts department. This team is responsible for administering the language arts program. Areas covered in the program are reading, English, spelling, compdsition, speaking and listening. All of these skill areas are vitally important to all studentsjn their educational and life careers. Pupils are grouped according to present reading achievement levels. There are four levels each in the sixth, seventh and eighth grades. Students may move from one level to another as their progress indicates. All sections meet for a ninety minute block of time. This arrangement allows for large group instruction on any specific topic. During the first six weeks, Mr. Denton presented large group instruction in parliamentary procedure to all three grade levels. Thus, pupils were made aware of how to conduct meetings and to participate effectively in business meetings. The block of time also provides adequate time for large group projeptS and for supervised study. Faculty members have time available to give special help to those students having difficulty in any one area. Faculty members in this department meet once each week so tha the program may be ctosely xirdinated. These meetings “ \able instructors to learn from - other, and insure all students covering the same basic skills. Reading is the most important of„ mental skills because nearly all other subjects in the curriculum depend on it. An efficient reader is prepared for all his future reading, whether it is for high school or college assignments, for business purposes, for enjoyment, or to be better informed of everyday events through reading the newspaper. Reading is a “must” in today's busy world. In the sixth and seventh grades the specific skills and mechanics of reading must still be taught. Eighth grade students read widely in a variety of themes, topics and literary types. At this level students become more selective, read critically and pass judgment on the author’s techniques as well as characters. Reading records are kept of the reading a pupil does outside of
