1d pecial Education: A Great N Idea. In the Special Education Program, big changes were made this year. The classes were no longer self-contained, but in the mainstream of the regu- lar classes. The students received individual at- tention from their teachers and aides. The classes did different things, for example, Mrs. Johnston's class Went Christmas shopping and they organized a Halloween party, with Mr. Hoduski coming dressed as a ghost. The teachers involved in the Special Education Program feel that it has been a successful year. Y, 'iw ff, I .7 ff Www.. WW 'nz-TIG!

The reading program at Pleasant Lea Junior High functions as an extension of the language arts program. Our major concerns is the reading skills. The reading skills emphasized are compre- hension, word-attack skills, and structural analy- sis. Development of writing skills is also provided through paragraph writing, book reports, and short answer quizzes. Spelling worksheets are de- veloped using words taken from various reading materials used in the class, and weekly spelling tests are given. Study skills are taught and em- phasis is placed on utilizing these skills in the content areas. Group instruction is utilized with special em- phasis placed on individual weaknesses. Students participate in both oral and silent reading fol- lowed by discussions and comprehension quizzes. Specific skills are presented by the teacher, and practice in these areas is provided through oral and written exercises. Extra practice is given to those students who have not mastered these skills.
