Please study them carefully; practice on a "literate" before trying to teach a real "illiterate." We will show you in detail how to teach "bird" and letter band capital B. You can then use the same procedure for the rest. The little hands show how the teacher should use his finger and hands. The words are what the teacher says. The teacher waits for the student to make his reply. If the student hesitates, help him out quickly. But DO NOT repeat a correct answer after the student, and do not try to change the student's pronunciation, if he is a native-born English speaking person. The teacher should have his student on his left. Be careful never to obstruct the student's view. (Teacher says): This is a bird. (Cup begins with the sound cuh. Say cuh. Say cuh again. Teach the remainder of the page in like manner. Each time a new sound is added, review the previous sounds as you go up the right-hand column; review the names of the letters as you come down the chart. What to Say For the Other Pictures DISH. FISH GIRL And again. HAND Again. Every letter has a sound and a name. The name of letter is c. Say c. Say c again. This is capital C. : Say capital C. This is a dish with a spoon in it. Say dish. HOW TO TEACH THE READING LESSON (Point to word "bird" on chart.) Say: What is this? (Point to word "bird" in first sentence.) What is this? (Teacher runs finger under sentence.) This is a bird. Now you read it. (Run finger along as student reads.) Continue in like manner down through the page. In each sentence, first show student the familiar word on the chart, then in the reading lesson. To teach words not in the chart: After all sentences have been "read" as just instructed, read first sentence again, "This is a bird." Point to "This." "This." Point and say the word each time down the page. Do this with each word not found on the chart. Say Senator JAVITS. Mr. Chairman, may the record show that I was present and I was anxious to hear the testimony of Mr. Leo Pfeffer, general counsel of the American Jewish Congress and wished to introduce him to the subcommittee as one of our distinguished New Yorkers. I am very pleased that the subcommittee called him and will have the benefit of his testimony. Senator MORSE. He presented a very scholarly statement in support of the position of the Jewish Congress. Senator JAVITS. With which we may not necessarily agree, in part. Senator MORSE. We know we do not agree with all of it, but I want to say I was glad to have the reinforcement of those parts I do agree with. Senator JAVITs. Thank you, sir. Senator MORSE. The Chair wishes to announce that we will recess until June 25, at which time we will hear the last of the scheduled witnesses at our public hearings, Commissioner Keppel. After the 25th, we will meet again on the 27th to hear Secretary Celebrezze. After that, I shall keep the record open for 2 weeks to receive any additional memorandums that witnesses who have already testified or other organizations or individuals may wish to file for the record. I have an assignment for the staff. I would like to have prepared before we close the record a summary sheet showing the witnesses who have testified, the organizations they represent, the number of people involved in their representation, and such other pertinent data as the staff decides will be helpful to have printed at the beginning of the first volume of the hearings so when Members of the Senate turn to the hearings, they can review a summary sheet which will give them a quick bird's-eye view of the positions of organizations and the membership thereof as represented in the testimony taken. I think counsel has a good idea of what the chairman has in mind. (Thereupon, at 11:08 a.m., the subcommittee recessed, to reconvene June 25, 1963.) |
