THE SEQUENTIAL DEVELOPMENT OF READING ABILITIES IS PRESENTED WITH A LISTING OF THE SPECIFIC SKILLS COMPRISING EACH ABILITY AT EACH GRADE LEVEL FROM GRADE 6, OR BELOW, THROUGH GRADE 12. THE SEQUENTIAL PRESENTATION WAS DEVELOPED FOR THE SECONDARY TEACHER, WHO CONTINUES THE READING PROGRAM BEGUN IN EARLIER GRADES. READING PROGRESS SHOULD EXTEND INTO EVERY STUDY AREA, WITH EACH TEACHER RESPONSIBLE FOR THE READING PROGRAM IN HIS PARTICULAR FIELD. IN A BALANCED PROGRAM, THE STUDENT DOES THREE INTERRELATED TYPES OF READING--DEVELOPMENTAL, FUNCTIONAL, AND RECREATIONAL. A GLOSSARY OF READING TERMS, DESIGNED TO PROVIDE INSIGHT INTO THE READING PROCESS, IS INCLUDED.
