the reading

teacher VOLUME 25, NO. 1 OCTOBER, 1971



-DREQUENTLY an elderly Brook *

lynite, of Barbadian extrac

tion, offers the comment that

everything the human race has learned is printed in books. "If

you want to acquire knowledge? knowledge about everything?all you have to do is read, read, read,"

the old gentleman says. And, his life has proved his point. Building from a limited high school educa

tion, he read books to learn real estate and insurance law. Today,

the man is quite prosperous in his

field, and he strongly attributes his success to his determination "to read, mark and inwardly di

gest" that which is on the printed page.

Since reading is the basis upon which education is developed, every encouragement must be pro

vided to make teachers of the sub

ject as proficient as possible. In herent in that preparation must be an expertise in human commu

nication?the ability to relate to

students, especially the unmoti vated. It is the student who does not know the value, nor indeed the pleasure of reading to whom the teacher must commit herself.

The motivated student often finds his own way almost without assist

ance.

I welcome the privilege of say ing a word to the reading teachers

who receive this journal. What better reward does your profession offer than the knowledge that you have been the means by which

disadvantaged children ? poor

whites, poor blacks and the poor of other minorities?burst out of a dormant childhood?

We've revised the third edition of Basic Goals in Spelling ... and now a sparkling new fourth edition is ready for Alan

In past years, some 75 million school children learned to

There are many ways you can teach a child to read.

There is one way you can teach him to read

successfully...

success-full

How do you define "success" ?n learn

ing to read? Certainly ?t is more than a facility for decoding, more than good comprehension skills.

THE MACMILLAN READING PROGRAM, Revised Edition, defines it as reading for

pure pleasure. An activity that involves the child because it deeply interests him. The start of a lifelong love for the

printed word.

THE MACMILLAN READING PROGRAM rests on two incontrovertible premises.

One, that a child must succeed the first time he tries to read. Two, that he can reinforce this initial success only

by learning to read as he learned to talk?with content that engages his

imagination, arouses his curiosity.

We offer the child a feast of delightful reading. And we offer the teacher proven

methods and materials that can make every learning step an individual learning pleasure.

In our way pleasure in reading leads to

self-confidence, and self-confidence to

independence. SuccessI

Your next reading program should be success-full. The Macmillan advantage is that we can show you one. Write...

From children's mistakes a breakthrough When a child reads a word or a

sentence wrong, there's a reason.

Something on the page, or in his ex

perience, has caused him to expect something different. Technicians ob

serving children's unaided reading have uncovered many of the kinds of

things in the language and illustra tions of books that lead to children's

miscues.

In Scott Foresman Reading Systems, all the Pupils' Books and most Study books were tested with a cross section of American children, under the direction of psycholinguist Ken neth Goodman, one of the fourteen

coauthors. The early levels were made as mistake-proof as possible so learning to read would be easy. Systems authors and editors worked out new teaching procedures to help with the parts that might cause dif

ficulty. They developed new kinds of assessment techniques that show teachers how to interpret children's

miscues and tailor instruction to meet the needs these miscues reveal.

Systems makes learning to read easier than it used to be. Children's mistakes helped show the way.
