Beginning this spring, Marion Street School will be working hand in hand with TV Channel 13's Educational Service.

"Reading Rainbows," a new 15 part half^iour series, will premiere this July. Lynn Hoffman, Marion Street School's reading specialist, expects to use Channel 13's magazine format to motivate the students to read during the summer. Last year's reward for summer readers was a fabulous Pizza Party in October.

The primary feature of Channel 13's program is the TV adapta-tion of the children's picture book, selected from "good" literature. There will be field trip segments which will introduce the children to new places and experiences.

It is hoped that the children will develop a positive feeling about the library as a place where books, magazines, films and other creative and interestin g opportunities await them.

Positive self-concepts should result from an introduction to adults who are respectful of children and also children who are respectful of adults and other children.

Comprehension and other thinking skills will actively involve the child. It is expected that the children will participate in skills, such as main idea, summarizing, sequencing, organizing, information, etc.

Marion Street School will start a Reading Rainbow Club. Parents will get reading grades before the end of the school year. A com-plete list of books to be shown will be sent to the parents and libraries before the summer. The programs are for children ages six through nine.

ALL-DAY KINDERGARTEN IN E.R. SCHOOLS

The East Rockaway "School District is still planning to pro-ceed with all-day kindergarten at the start of the second semester next year. During the next few months, new curriculum will be written, visits will be made to other districts, and those con-cerned will attend workshops and hear speakers. Parents will be invited to attend workshops and meetings, also.

The current kindergarten en-rollment, 50 at Centre Ave. and 38 at Rhame, indicates a need for two sections at each school for September and money has been placed in the budget for a second kindergarten teacher in each school starting in February.

Superintendent Michael Maiden is available to answer questions from concerned parents - call him at 599-4550.
