NO ! : A 5 page paper discussing the current methods of
reading instruction being used in our country. The focus of
the paper is on phonics and how it is, and always will be, an
essential part of reading and the methods of learning
associated with it. Different methods are examined in order to
illustrate just how widely used phonics is in the classroom.
While phonics is an important part of learning to read it can
not be used exclusively as there are far too many aspects
involved in this particular area of education. Phonics are
essential but any teacher must keep an open mind and be
willing to use other methods in combination in order to teach
our citizens to read. Bibliography lists 5 sources.

Techniques to Improve the Effectiveness of Language Arts
Teachers : A 5 page analytical discussion focusing on
teachers of language arts and how to "refresh" their teaching
methods after years of being "set in their ways." The writer
argues that teachers often become "used" to being ineffective
with regard to a set percentage of their students and that they
ultimately fail to influence any positive change. The
implementation of learning centers, freedom to experiment,
sentence collecting, and reading workshops are among the
many techniques presented for transforming language arts
teachers into highly effective instructors. Bibliography lists 4
