| Abstract: | Asked to contribute an article on reading and the disadvantaged pupil Michael Duane, ex-Headmaster of Risinghill, now lecturer at Garnett College of Education, writes: 'If the article appears to spend little time on the actual process of reading, it is because I believe our preoccupation with the techniques of teaching reading— i.t.a., Look and Say, etc .— to be totally misconceived and a diversion from what should be our real preoccupation, viz. the provision of lively and interesting experience for children and of talk arising out of that experience.' |
