ABSTRACT
The use of audio-visual methods in the teaching of reading which, according to the project's experience, is not as extensive as it might be offers the advantage of control, reproduction and stimulation. Tape, slides and photographs all offer techniques through which the teacher may reproduce in the classroom the sounds and sights of the world outside. The creative teacher will also seek ways of using tape, slides and photographs as part of the pupil's own expressive work. In addition, slides and photographs are valuable in specific perceptual programmes which aim to foster the sub-skills of perception. A card with all the answers written on it, jumbled up perhaps, is given to the pupil before he begins the taped lesson. A development is to provide the pupil with a series of slides or pictures which represent the sequence of the story but are in random order.
