In fact, he said, all teachers in Grades 6 on up are required to attend reading workshop sessions led by Dr. Buckner at Montclair College, so they can improve their students reading habits in every subject field. In the demonstrations, one teacher from each of the first three grades presented six students in an excerpt from classroom work. First graders were occupied mostly with word familiarity rhymes, picking words with the same first letter and noting how different first letters change words. The second grade panel worked on the short vojyel sound of A in cap and then made up sentences illustrating three different uses of the word cap.

In the third grade presentation, silent reading and comprehension came to the fore, and the six third graders read to themselves and then discussed the story in detail. The teachers conducting the demonstrations included: at Hubbard Mrs. Catherine Kielch. first grade; Miss Eleanor Badick, second, and Mrs. Marjorie Zackery, third; at Tisdale Mrs.

Josephine Mahnken, first grade; Miss Anne Marble, second, and Mrs. Irene DeMuth, third. RIDGEWOOD Dr. R. Schilling, television lecturer and moderator, will present four lectures on American Foreign Policy starting on Wednesday? at 8:15 p.m.

He is also familiar to residents of the Ridgewood area for his lectures sponsored by the Public Affairs Committee at the last February on "The Four Revolutions in American Foreign Policy. In his current program for the Dr.

Schilling will discuss "The Determination of American Foreign Policy on four consecutive evenings: on Nov. 6 "The Part played by the Public People, Interest groups and the Press; on Nov. 13, Congress and Executive Relationships; on Nov. 20, The Executive The President and the Executive Framework; and on Nov. 27, The Executive State Defense and the coordination of Foreign and Military Policy.

The lecture series is open to the RAMSEY Parents looking for familiar landmarks in the way Ramsey schools teach their primary graders to read found them disguised almost beyond recognition during demonstrations this week and last week. Phonetics had their place in the two reading demonstrations at Hubbard School Tuesday afternoon and at Tisdale the preceding week. But they masqueraded as a game. (1 am thinking of a food that starts with the same letter as my first name," said the first grader who had recently peddled one of his front teeth to the good fairy.) Sight recognition, the -controversial emphasis of several years ago. was in evidence too.

(Which of these four words are the same? asked the teacher, writing house, hat, home and house on the blackboard But it had been relegated to a role as one tool for teaching reading, not the tool. The greatest stress was placed on understanding meanings, a factor which frequently got lost in the shuffle of reading-instruction fads a generation ago. The net effect was one of a relaxed, easy-going approach to the first but the casualness was by design, not by accident. Schools Superintendent Eric S. Smith made it clear in remarks interspersing the demonstrations by first, second and third graders.

Teachers, and especially parents, he said, must be careful that in our anxiety to have students read well, we do not put such a pressure on them that we create reading problems. He urged parents not to be too concerned if a child is not in the top reading group in the first or second grade. Many, many times we find that a poor beginner turns into an excellent reader by the third grade providing he has not been pushed beyond his capacity. And we sometimes find that a child who could read at 4 tapers off by third grade. Supporting the varied emphasis of the demonstration, Superintendent Smith insisted "There is no one method of teaching reading a good teacher uses every tool she can.
