(Continued from page one) ics alone may not give him the word, but phonics, plus use of context, plus recognition of a familiary part of the word may unite to achieve the desired identification of the word. When are children ready to learn the sounds of individual letters and combinations of letters? Certinly not when they first learn to read. With emphasis on reading for meaning, children begin to read complete sentences, soon breaking these into phrases and words as they gain skill in recognizing words at sight As their stock of sight words increases, they encounter words which resemble one another and they need to give attention to parts of words in order to distinguish one from another. This is a more complex skill than knowing a word as a whole, requiring intellectual, visual, and auditory maturity. Alfor though auditory readings phonics may be established in the early stages of learning to read, most teachers now postpone other phonetic activities until children have mastered a working sight vocabulary of 75 to 100 words and have had experience in reading for meaning. These sight words can then be analyzed for similar beginning or ending sounds, and pupils helped to form "lok alike, sound generalizations which they can use in atalike tacking new words. The implication for teaching reading is clear. Phonics should occupy a definite place in the reading program, but the time of and its limitations introduction must be understood. This view is clearly put in the most recent authoritative statement on the teaching of phonics as part of vocabulary building. Since it is only one of the ways by which children recognize words, it should be taught as one of a group of skills which include use of context clues and structural analysis. And since the central part of reading is deriving meaning emphasis upas such on word recognition should never overbalance strees and interupon comprehension pretation while reading. According to Robert S. Murdock, county agent, a Social Security meeting will be held in Duchesne, at the county courthouse, the evening of Wednesday, April 20, for the purpose of telling the farmers and others interested, how the new Social Security act may aid them in retirement US AC Irrigation Specialist . To Give Advice According to Robert Murdock, Duchesne county agent on Monday, April 18, and Tuesday, April 19, Jess Barker, Extension Irrigation specialist will be in Duchesne County. Any farmers desiring a visit by the county agent and the specialist to their place to talk on irrigation and drainage problems, and to have Mr. Barker give his advice on these matter, please contact the county agents office.
