Description
Summary:Illiterate, non-English speaking, and educationally retarded men receive instruction in Special Training Units before attempting regular basic military training. Visual aids in Special Training Units include textbook, flash cards, a spinner arrow with discs for word cards or number combinations, training films, film strips with illustrated instructor's references, picture portfolios, illustrated periodicals prepared for these units, bulletin boards, posters, cartoons, maps, diagrams, and charts. Actual objects and models, such as sand tables and topographic models, are also widely used. To help instructors, a Training Aids Section has been organized in most of the Special Training Units. The visual aid is an indispensable adjunct to instruction of these groups.
