The selection of pertinent andsignificant contributions was a complex task. A major concern was toselect contributions which provide a source when needed immediately byexperienced and inexperienced teachersalike.

Leslie Fisher State Superintendent of Public Instruction ii ACKNOWLEDGMENT Frequently the teacher brings into a teaching situation not merely knowledge of the subject matter of method of instruction, but many creative ideas as well. These ideas cannot be utilized by other teachers unless they are incorporated fn a bulletin of this type. It is our desire that this tool will provide new creative ideas for experienced teachers as well as the in- experienced. We hope that all'who use this booklet, will add suggestions from time to time and thereby make it a continuous up-to-date bulletin. In the undertaking of a project of this kind, the efforts of many individuals, giving generously of their time and talents, have contributed to the final booklet. It is not the product of any one individual, but is the combined effort of all Logan County elementary teachers of reading.We are indebted to the superintendents of the Logan County schools and their staff for the splendid cooperation in thls project. We are especially indebted to Dr. Clifford Wright, State Curriculum Administrator, who has contributed thoroughly at every so. .e of the project. We gieatly appreciate the talent and-time applied to this project by Mrs. Judy Phillips, our secretary, who typed and compiled tb4booklet. The teachers selected for this committee, as well as those who partici- pated in the program, have spent many hours working on this project. Their willingness to cooperate in this project was fundamental to its realization. It is impossible to give individual credit to the many fine teachers whose suggestions are incorporated in every page of this booklet.. The committee wishes to take this means of thanking all teachers who contributed.
