dd Soph Team Teaching nd Reading Lab Programs A course designed to improve students' reading skills was added to the MHS English department this year. The reading lab, directed by Mrs. Harriett Warner, houses audio-visua! aids and a variety of mechanical equipment used by students to increase their reading fluency and comprehension. This year classes were made up of sophomores, who worked in the reading lab in place of their regular English classes and received full credit toward graduation. Plans are being considered that will make the reading lab available to all students who desire to improve their reading ability. Sophomore English teachers Mrs. Patricia Bernardi, Miss Opal Carson and Mr. Thomas Derouin worked together in a team teaching effort. Three sophomore classes met together to listen to lectures and records and to view films and filmstrips. Students who did well on diagnostic tests administered before each chapter worked in independent study groups while the rest of the class studied the materials from the texts. The main objectives of this program were to lessen the duplication involved in teaching and to eliminate the boredom sometimes felt by students who must spend time on sub- jects they already know. Although crowded conditions sometimes are a handicap, Mr. Thomas Derouin, Miss Opal Carson and Mrs. Patricia Bernardi find team teaching rewarding. john A.
