DO YOU KNOW HOW TO READ? OF COURSE YOU DO... BUT HOW WELL DO YOU READ? Here's more fuel for someone's smug fire, a certainly dated educational film about reading techniques for youngsters. MS's of kids reading in the school library. All are problem readers (note their pointed frustration: Peter reads too slow, Joan reads too fast and Flippy uses his fingers while sounding the words out). MS's of Miss Baker teaching the kids to read properly. CU's of slow readin' Peter increasing his Perception Span (perception span is a clincial term used here). ECU's of text, words being highlighted. CU's of speedy Joan reading; ECU of highlighted text. CU of Joan: IF I WANT TO BE AN INTERIOR DECORATOR, I'LL HAVE TO LEARN ALL THOSE WORDS. You sure will, Joan, you sure will. MS's and CU's of the rather annoying Flippy (ne Billy) fingering and mouthing the words as he reads, gradually changing his habits with Miss Baker's help. Many charts and diagrams, more ECU's of highlighted text.
