Reading and speech, like language arts, are essential if a transfer of knowledge is to accom- pany the actual learning process. Without read- ing, the basic tool for all education, it would be impossible for a student to acquire ideas and concepts. Articulate speech is one of the most important methods of exchanging these concepts. In an effort to insure students future success in academics, the curriculum at King Philip provides for reading and speech courses which establish a Hrm foundation in these areas. Reading is separated into two major divisions: developmental, entailing the critical reading of various works, and development of other ad- vanced reading skills, and remedial, which builds upon and reinforces the basic reading skills necessary for scholastic achievement. The recent addition of a reading laboratory at King Philip has made the study of all phases of read- ing still more interesting and rewarding. Speech classes, through the inclusion of oral readings, impromptu speeches, pantomimes and parliamentary procedure, develop poise in stu- dents and give them confidence in oral expression. Without the ready knowledge gained through reading skills and the self possession acquired in speech practices, even the best student will not realize his full potential. are the trunk of the tree of knowledge students.
