Personalized Reading Program For Intermediate Grades, Pamela Kay Kelly
Personalized Reading Program For Intermediate Grades, Pamela Kay Kelly
All Graduate Projects
As the reading specialist in an elementary school, it was my responsibility to assist the classroom teachers with their reading program; specifically, with those students who were having difficulty. It was not feasible for me to meet with all who needed help; at the most, I could help forty-three students per week. The pace at which I had to function to assess and meet their individual needs became too great. In view of this situation, the following program was designed to stimulate every intermediate student's desire to read and to do so at his own pace.

Building The School Entertainment Day By Day: Sharing Experiences With The Community, Jennie Moore
All Faculty Scholarship for the College of Education and Professional Studies
"What school experiences will my pupils enjoy sharing with their friends?" you ask yourself. As you think of the people in the community, it seems probable that many of them learned to read by the word method, that they mastered spelling by the valiant repetition of letters, that history to them was a mass of names and dates, and that their recesses were listless breaks in the routine of classes. To see their children or their neighbor's children doing happily that which was drudgery to them will be a rare treat. And so arises the idea for your first school …
