Whenever one is working with children or foreign language persons or semiliterate Method 7 Reading Aloud is used.

Method 6 Word Clearing is called Key Word Clearing.

In this method the person is made to read aloud to find out what he is doing.

It is used on posts and specific subjects.

It is a very simple method. It is done without a meter.

It is a heavier form than Method 5.

It is used on such persons before other methods in order to get the person untangled.

Method 6 is used without a meter.

If a person does not seem to be progressing by studying silently, one has him read aloud.

Where a person is new on post or new to a subject or where there has just been a goof, an error or an Ethics action, these steps are done in the following manner.

Another copy of the same text must also be followed by the Word Clearer as the person reads.

1. The Word Clearer makes a list of the key (or most important) words relating to the person’s duties or post or the new subject.

Startling things can be observed.

This is made up as a list. The Word Clearer looks up each word in the dictionary and writes down the definitions.

The person may omit the word “is” whenever it occurs. The person doesn’t read it. He may have some strange meaning for it like “Israel” (actual occurrence).

The list may have as few as three words or as many as twenty or thirty.

He may omit “didn’t” each time it occurs and the reason traced to not knowing what the apostrophe is (actual occurrence).

(Example: A bank clerk’s key words would be “bank” “clerk” “money” “cash” “drafts” “teller” “accounts” “customer” etc.)

He may call one word quite another word such as “stop” for “happen” or “green” for “mean”.

(Example: There has just been a goof resulting in an upset. The goof centered around “radio” “repairs” “operation” “operator” “electronics” etc.)

He may hesitate over certain words.

2. The Word Clearer, without showing the person the definitions, asks him to define each word.

The procedure is

3. The Word Clearer checks the definition on his list for general correctness not word for word but meaning.

1. Have him read aloud.

4. Any slow or hesitancy or misdefinition is met with having the person look the word up and look up any word in the definition the person does not have a grasp of.

2. Note each omission or word change or hesitation or frown as he reads and take it up at once.

5. One completes his list.

3. Correct it by looking it up for him or explaining it to him.

6. By then the person has been jarred into looking further by the above actions. The Word Clearer asks “What other word relating to your post (or subject or error) didn’t you understand?”

4. Have him go on reading, noting the next omission, word change or hesitation or frown.

7. Each one mentioned is now defined by looking it up.

5. Repeat steps 2 to 4.

8. The person can now be Method 4ed relating to his post to be sure all is clean and there are no upsets.

By doing this a person can be brought up to literacy.

Note: Where the person has just had an accident or ethics action it may be necessary to delay the action until the person is calmer or not so upset as the action can be a heavy distraction if the person is hurt or frightened and will not be successful.

His next actions would be learning how to use a dictionary and look up words.

It will be found that laziness, inactivity, slowness and errors on a post or in using a subject trace to misunderstood key words.

Then a simple grammar.

The remedy is WC Method 6.

A very backward student can be boosted up to literacy by this method.
