MS's of Miss Baker teaching the kids to read properly. CU's of slow readin' Peter increasing his Perception Span (perception span is a clincial term used here). ECU's of text, words being highlighted. CU's of speedy Joan reading; ECU of highlighted text. CU of Joan: IF I WANT TO BE AN INTERIOR DECORATOR, I'LL HAVE TO LEARN ALL THOSE WORDS.

Many charts and diagrams, more ECU's of highlighted text.
