EBONY JR! is on reading because today’s culture and technology demand that children become prepared for a highly literate future. Biographies of famous people, stories, games, science projects, puzzles, black history, and other contents are all child-centered and black oriented. A controlled vocabulary is used in each story. Words that may be new for the beginning reader are set in bold type and repeated at the bottom of the page with a definition. Games featured in EBONY JR! stress the learning of phonics as a reading skill and are designed to build sight-vocabulary. For young readers who have their phonics and sight-vocabulary under control, EBONY JR! offers games that take words apart-showing them in their structural and meaningful prefixes, roots, and suffixes. For comprehension, the real “biggie” of reading skills, EBONY JR! provides articles that give children practice in following directions or understanding what they read well enough to perform a given task. Attacking reading comprehension from yet another angle, the magazine features projects and skits that deal with scientific matter. SSSBfhiSf /J7 4y7.
