'QQ' m ' QCD 'C' P-r READING DEPARTMEN ...nun To make every student a hetter reader W is the ohjeetive of the reading departf .-is 1 -H ment. Realizing that the students' '-'1 ahility to read lluently and with eomf prehension is not confined to the English department, the Nieolet faculty has estahlished an Allfsehool Reading eomf mittee. The eommittee, consisting of one representative from each depart' ment, meets regularly to determine what reading skills can hest he learned and praetieed in eaeh department. The department representatives and Miss Severson then work with the rest of the faeulty to see how these skills ean he ineorporated into each program of study. Beyond the classroom emphasis on reading skills, individual and group help, under the guidance ol- Miss Severson, is available to every student. Also the advanced reader is offered a course in aeeelerated reading, which is useful not only in preparation for eollege hut also in the husiness world. The result of the entire program is apparent in a student as he learns to study and read more proiieiently and to make adef quate use of his leisure time.
