"A Florida legislator, speaking about the apparent neglect of the 'Three R's', recently said, 'If one-third of the efforts being expanded in getting more appropriations for schools was used to see that children get these basic skills, the remaining two-thirds of the effort would be far more productive.' This statement is typical of many challenges to educators to further improve that part of the instructional program considered by a large segment of the general public to be the prime responsibility of the schools. This paper is part of one teacher's attempt to answer that challenge, whether it comes from spokesmen of the general public or from an inner desire to do a better job. The effort of the writer is directed specifically to a study of current suggestions and recommendations in the technique of skill development most applicable to the language arts program of a fifth grade in a Florida school. The limitation suggested is dictated by the fact that it was in quite a specific situation that the concern originally arose"--Introduction. / "August, 1955." / Typescript. / "Submitted to the Graduate Council of Florida State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science." / Advisor: W.
