The following handbooL, including the creu, Of ,listening, speakinand writing, complements the previouslycloppleted district handbook for reading instruction. The foundation fdr this handbook is the manual produced in 1973-74. The current committee also reviewed the ?Talker report and collectopd opinions cmd reactions of teachers, parents, students and,graduates. "ith these suggestions in mind, they also critically' examined the 1973-74 handbook and developed the preseht revised and expanded version. "r the opinion of this consultant, the job done hen'. thorough and commendable one. Consideration has beegiven to the affective domain as well as to, the cognitive and psychomotor domains.' Cnre has been taken to include detailed objectives for each of$the areas, from sentence structure to parts of speech, free spelling to ploofreading, and from structured oral presentations to critical listening. Furthermore, by incorporating suggested activities for the separate areas, the committee has provided a more practical handbook for teachere. , i s Nowhere is the affective domain more important than in the area of language arts. !re sincerely hope all teachers stare the view,ofNthe committee in recognizing this point: equallyimportant friththe objedtives -- what is taught-- are the methods -- how these skills are developed.% True facility ith the communication skills will result only from"the enjpyable manipulation of the language. As this handbook is implemented, teachers and pa4-ents can be assured that students in District 103 will experience the comMunication skills necessary for success during, as well as after, their school years.
