Reading and Language Ants enhance learning Mrs. Barbara Popper, reading teacher, and Mrs. Alice Church, director of the developmental reading program, confer between classes. LANGUAGE ARTS A COMPREHENSIVE PROGRAM King Philip offers a sequentially developed Language Arts program in literature, composition, oral speaking, and grammar. Instruction is geared to student potential and achievement level. Communicative skills are basic to all learning. Once the fundamental concepts are learned, the student begins to enjoy and profit from the understandings which come to him from the great world of literature and language. EFFICIENCY AND POWER ARE KEYS TO BETTER READING SKILLS Reading skills must be developed to a level of efficiency and power if the student is to achieve in the required high school curriculum of studies. Greater emphasis is placed on the development of skills at all levels of learning. Plans are being formulated for the introduction of remedial- corrective program for the 1966-67 school year.
