The video over, the children trot down to the computing suite for the morning's maths lesson, focusing on time-telling. Each group of children has a worksheet, which explains a small part of the process. "This enables me to provide each child with a challenge," says Evelyn-Rahr. "I separate the class into three groups, pair them up, provide them with worksheets at three different levels and set them to work." Pupils easily move between levels.

Magic of word processing

A simple word-processing package can be the key for children who struggle to write and be understood, particularly in the inclusive classroom. "It is pure magic for the child who can barely write to convert their unintelligible hieroglyphics into fabulous looking, totally comprehensible text," says Laura Evelyn-Rahr, a special needs primary teacher.

Long Island, N.Y., Business Mogul Sues Riverhead Country Club Owner.

Jun. 1--Stewart Rahr built a $1-million mom-and- pop operation into a $2.5-billion pharmaceutical distribution firm in Whitestone by being Rahr: hard-driving, audacious, generous, confrontational and self-promoting. The 57-year-old executive insists he was once a "little guy." But building Kinray Inc. from scratch took chutzpah. Rahr wants it to be known that he is no longer an underdog.

These days, Stanley Pine, an owner of Hampton Hills Golf & Country Club in Riverhead, is in Rahr's way -- so Rahr is fighting in court to get the respect he feels he deserves.
