Special Reading Program For Round Table Mrs. Kennard Robinson introduced Miss Sharon Pearl, special reading teacher of Lakeland School Corporation, for her program at Monday night’s Ladies of the Round Table meeting. Miss Pearl directs the special reading education of students in grades one through eight in the corporation. Students with reading problems are referred to her by the classroom teachers. She then tests, diagnoses the problem and recommends remedial procedures for the individual child. Serving under Miss Pearl’s direction are nine tutors who are mothers or even grandmothers working on a one to one or not more than three to one basis with the students. First grade through fourth grade students do much oral reading for and with the mothertutor. Fifth through eighth grade students concentrate on silent reading and study skills for increased comprehension and speed. Fridays are “game days” when the students play games especially designed to aid in vocabulary skills of pronunciation, recognition, meaning and phonics. Miss Pearl visits the tutor-child situation every two weeks to evaluate progress and recommend new or additional methods or skill development. To further sharpen the communication skills, the students are encouraged to talk about what they have read or to just “talk” to the tutor. This allows the tutor to open roads for finding a child’s interest and problems
