Reading_ and writing are now part
of the whole language program, an

Homework: Homework is less an
isolated add -un to the day's woilr
than an extension of in -crass work,
such as finishing a _ puppet show

work is till important when in-
tegrated with other areas of study.
For instance, stridents may
memorize lines of a play they have
written and will petiole.
Phonics: The study of the sounds
of letters and letter groupss as a
readingtool for primary grades is
still° taught,_but usually in con-
junction with other class work
