In other words, if a parent that you don't teach her child the sounds of the letters, tell her the child can't read because she has made his home life unhappy. That's what you get on the subject of phonetics in our literature on.the teaching of reading. Anc what do the books contain instead? With what do they fill all those fat volumes with hundreds of pages if they don't mention the letters and sounds of the alphabet?

If he has been trained in phonics, he simply "sounds out" the the the ng, the the and the oo, and reads "kangaroo" as easy as pie. kangaroo!" he says. Of course, he has known the meaning of the word for years.) But if he has no training in phonics, if the meaning 'of the letters has been carefully hidden from him, he can only guess. How can he guess? Well, the ireakfast Chairman Mrs.

Mary Ann Burn of Cutts Island, Kitlery Point, is in charge of reservations for the annual communion breakfast of the New Hampshire Council of Catholic Curses to be held in Manchester June 19 at Knights of Columbus Hall. morning and afternoon the jruisers are stationed near school street crossings, he continued, and icnce can't be on patrol. The use of women police at these crossings would have freed the cruisers for duty elsewhere, he said, but apparently there wasn't enough interest in the idea to have it become a reality. At night, he said, the men in- the cruisers have the job of checking buildings, stores and other places and have little time to devote to enforcing the speed laws. As it is, Betz added, they are "lucky" to be able to complete this job in the time allotted them.

They have more than 10 square miles and hundreds of streets to cover, he said. Under the present setup, he said, a cruiser is stationed, whenever possible, in an area where complaints a coming regarding speeders. Because the cruiser doesn't show up at a certain time every day doesn't mean, some persons imagine, that the area isn't being watched, Betz said. Regarding speeding in congested areas, the marshal agreed there is reason for a patrolman not educators says, he can guess from context. With the sentence "I saw a kangaroo" that 3s extremely difficult, however, because it could just as easily mean "I a giraffe" or "I a flea" or "I saw a piano." So, the next best thing, the child at the top of the page to see whether there is a picture.

Usually those factory-produced readers, when an animal is mentioned there Is a picture of it somewhere on the page, so ten to one he'll find that the word means "kangaroo." And what il there isn't any picture? Well, then he has to rely on the sound of the first letter if he knows that--or the length of the word--or its general shape--or just sheer luck.

Referring to Shanley's remark that motorists traveling through Vew Castle and Newington "toe he mark" 1 because of strict law nforcement, the marshal also igreed that the police in these owns do an excellent job. he said, it is difficult compare the traffic problems these towns with Portsmouth's ince the city is a shopping area or thousands of persons and oth- ir thousands, especially during the summer months, "pour through" Portsmouth making the job' of po- icing doubly difficult.

He him Learning to read, he knows, is guessing or waiting until you are told what the word means. You think I exaggerate? On the contrary: I am describing exactly what I saw in one classroom after another and'what is detailed endlessly in all the textbooks on how to teach reading. What does all this add up to? It means simply and clearly that according to our accepted system of instruction, reading isn't taught at all.

Books are put in front of the children and they are told to guess at the words or wait until Teacher tells them. But they are not taught'to read --if by reading you mean what the dictionary says it means, namely, the meaning of writing or printing." Now you will say that all this applies only to first grade. Not at all. If you think that after this preparatory guessing game reading begins in earnest in second grade, or in third, or in fourth, you are mistaken. Reading never starts.

The guessing goes on and on, through grade school, through high school, through college, through life. It's all they'll ever know. They'll never really learn to read. (MONDAY--What Is phonies?
