U16 Wading Uzfwrairfry The Reading Laboratory at Shepard is one of the most important services made avail- able to our children, It is one of the ser- vices made available with ESEA funds that have been allotted to Title I. The need for the service is reflected in pupil per- formance from day to day as they are con- fronted with the tasks relating to the com- municative skills, The Reading Laboratoy is different from the traditional classroom. Seating arrange- ment, furniture, and equipment are different so that the children find new incentives to aspire to their levels of achievement. We are fortunate to have a wealth of material and equipment to help the teacher help the pupils to read more effectively. Equipment and material are adequate for group instruction, but special emphasis has . WIA 'ww-n '.i N. - ' K V- been placed on equipment and material for individual instruction. The pupils' experiences are both dif- ferently new and difficult enough to chal- lenge the enthusiasm and best efforts of the children, Intimate contact is made with each pu- pil since the maximum number per class is ten pupils. 3I
