Some children in theinfirat at-, tempt at writing or drawing just naturally begin at the right side, In drawing this Aloes not matter, but in writing it • may make a great difference. In the writing and reading of EngliSh words, it, Is essential that we begin at the left side of the word or line. The rapid readers have ,no difficulty in Moving their eyes from left to right on a page. SOrne slow read- ers show distinct tendency to try to read from right to left. • The first indication of this ten- dency is often ' that the child writes his name in reverse order w,ith the letters ' turned towards the' left. - This is called mirror writing because the spelling and letter order is correct when it is viewed in •a mirror. The child with this peculiarity may have difficulty in writing, spelling and reading, Some 'persons seerh. to retain vestiges of the difficulty ,through- out their 'lives. Some of us occas- ionally, even after years of train- ing and practice, misplace letters in words such as "porn" for "apron" or , "becuase" for "be- cause". Bank clerks have been known to seek other employment because pi,writing figures in mis- placed, positions such as "$46.89" for "$64.89", In reading words like "house" for "horse", "saw" for "was", "party" for "pretty", "doll" for • "ball," "very" for "every", a child may be showing a carry-over of the tendency to go from right to left instead of from left .to •right. In 'the child's first writing this tendency is often first noticed. The limitations of the type' used in printing make it necessary to choose letters which would show the change due to mirror writing. Some examples are "b written as or "p for q", Many teachers are thrown into a spin when they view , such writing. They know that it will have effects in spell- ing and reading bat they do not know the cause. In one case a teacher appealed to the inspector for help with a child who read with difficulty. The'inspector was nonplussed and wrote to an ,expert for ad- vipe. From his description it, was deduced that the child had a ten- dency to see things 'from right to left, In the reply to the inspec- tor's letter,• a copy of a sheet from a reader was, sent in which the typing was done in very large print. A carbon. paper was placed the wrong way 'on the sheet to produce a mirror image of what was typed on the front of ,,the sheet. The inspector was asked to take this sheet to the school and to have the child try to read the front of the sheet first. The teacher had said that the child could not read at all. However, this girl stumbled through the front of the sheet. Her .next at- tempt was to be' the back of the sheet where the mirror image was shown and which allowed her to go from right to left, You can image the inspector's surprise when she read• the back of the sheet with ease. This proved that the child could do something which the teacher could not do. The demonstration was helpful because the teacher learned that the child had a, handicap which showed up in her reading and that she was not incapable of reading as had been claimed. ,Tracing Method Before research showed the usefulness of the Tracing Method, it was customary in such cases to give the child month's holiday from wiriting. At the end of a month it was ;calculated that he had forgotten his habit and in- struction was started again, under very close supervision. The trac- ing method is an adaptation of the Montessori method by which kindergartners instructed the very young children, During World Wax II, the tracing meth- od was used to train illiterates 'in the armed service's. The results were dramatic and grown men learned to read and write by this 1 method. Their letters home were accomplishrrient's long denied them due to an assumption that they were incapable. They had become frustrated in many cases due to their early incapacity to see things from left to right, The wives and loved one were equally appreciative and 'emotional about their serviceman's accomPlish- ment.• The first step in the Tracing Method is to, have a child or adult. write something. Encourage- ment is given by telling them that they may put in a stroke for a Word they do not know. Some- times a • child will write four strokes for the sentence "I like to play". The instructor goes around the classroom and sup- plies the copy for the words which the child needs. This al- lows the pupil to copy the 'word and correct his attempts. When all children have one or more words written 'in manuscript or cursive writing, in blackboard size, on a rough-surfaced paper, instructor selects a child for dem- onstration to the others, To that child he' says, "I want you to' trace this word (one of the words which hassleeen written for him) —I want you to say it aloud be- fore you begin to trace it". (He wants the child to hear, speak, see and write the Word as nearly as possible at the same time. He wants the child to use a four- lane highway to the central 'ner- vous system), If the child co, PASTOR FOR ANGLICAN CiiiiRCH Tirst"ChitieSa.Canadiaa -to receive a call to be Hester at an Anglitim church, liev, Andrew, Lam, shown with his wife and' two. children, will Move from VAnconver to Winnipeg -early iii May, In Vancouver, Mr. Lain has been pastor of the Goad Shepherd Mission in the , Chinatown , for the past 1$ apars.: no decision to Move to Wihnipeg WAS Made after year4 of diSeusSion wilfilinglicaii clergy and laymen Thos.
