DENVER—Vice President Spiro Agnew (left) pushes

Newspapers as teaching tool
Series helps poor readers
NEW YORK - (NEA) -
To help combat the alarming
rise in reading deficiency
among the nation s students,
the Reading Laboratory Inc.,
in cooperation with Newspa-
Cer Enterprise Association,
as developed a supplemental
reading program for students
who are reading below their
grade level.
The program, called “The
Newsread Series,” uses actual
newspaper stories written by
the NEA staff which have
appeared in hundreds of news
papers throughout the coun
try
While most existing supple
mental reading programs use
specially prepared text mate
rial, “Newsread" edits adult
newspaper articles for stu
dents who have a reading lev
el of sixth grade or above.
The articles, which are issued
twice a year to maintain time
liness, are presented in com
bination with reading exercis
es for use by teachers and
students.
The familiarity of a newspa
per format provides the slow
reader with interesting mate
rial from the world around
him and gives him confidence
he may lack when facing a
more intimidating textbook
The program focuses on
vocabulary, reading compre
hension, summarizing ability,
and the ability to differentiate
between fact and opinion. In
addition to the printed materi
al, the package includes cas
sette tapes to help students
learn pronunciation, definition
and word usage.
Michael Schaill of The
Reading Laboratory reports
that NEA material was select
ed because of the diversity of
its subject matter and be
cause “the newspaper is a
bridge between television and
books.” He adds that the writ
ing style common to feature
journalism more closely re
sembles the expository writ
ing found in textbooks than do
hard news articles.
The need for efficient sup
plemental reading programs
in the United States is widely
recognized.
— Approximately 75 per
cent of schoolchildren in New
York City are currently in
some type of remedial reading
program.
— A 1970 nationwide survey
revealed that seven million
children under the age of 16
are not reading at the expect
ed level of their school grade.
— A full 90 per cent of the
700,000 students who drop out
of school annually are classi
fied as poor readers.
—1 million adults in
America are functionally illit
erate — they cannot fill out a
job application nor read in
struction manuals related to
their work.
Many programs have been
started on the national, state
and local levels to answer the
question, “Why can’t Johnny
read?”
In 1972, the federal govern
ment founded the Right to
Read program to offer finan
cial and educational assist
ance to schools. The program
aims to overcome negative
attitudes toward reading and
promote reading in all sub
jects studied by the child.
There are currently 244 Right
to Read projects throughout
the country, with material
selection and teaching meth
ods left largely to the discre
tion of individual schools and
communities.
Pending in Congress is a
bill written by Sens. J. Glenn
Beall Jr. (R-Md ) and Peter
H. Dominick (R-Colo ), which
calls for increased subsidies
to schools for reading pro
grams in the primary grades
and tighter requirements for
reading teachers and more
advanced reading specialists
Ralph C. Staiger, executive
secretary-treasurer of the In
ternational Reading Associa
tion, feels that newspapers
are of great assistance in
teaching children how to read.
One of the IRA’s publications,
“Teaching Reading Skills
Through the Newspaper",
notes that “the newspaper can
be used to develop virtually
the entire range of reading

skills.” Further, understand
ing newspaper style can aid in
“detecting the organization of
ideas in reading.” as well as
teaching students to discern
implications and make critical
judgments.
“Newspaper Enterprise
Association feature stories
cover a wide range of subjects
and we have been able to pass
on this diversity to the stu
dents who will study “News
read”, Schaill comments.
“Everything from sports,
show business and acupunc
ture to foreign countries and
social concerns such as pover
ty and the environment are
covered in the program.
“By giving the student, —
whether in junior high school
or in adult education — inter
esting material which he can
easily comprehend and relate
to current interests and con
cerns,’’ Schaill says, “we
hope to reinforce positively
his existing skills and help
develop new ones.”
Teachers and school offi
cials interested in obtaining
samples of “The Newsreac
Series” may write to Michael
Schaill, The Reading Labora
tory, Inc., 55 Day Street,
South Norwalk, Conn., 06854.
The name of the school and
the grade level of the students
should be included with all
