Designed as a component of the Wisconsin Prototypic System of Reading Instruction, the Compendium of Reading Materials and Teaching Techniques is a selective listing of materials and techniques keyed to the three major skill areas of word recognition, comprehension, and study skills. Within each of the areas, five levels were identified and page numbers, titles, and publishers for appropriate subskills at each level were listed. Operationally, the use of the Compendium would follow the group testing provided for by the Wisconsin Expanding Inventory of Reading Development, the analysis of test results, and the initial grouping of students by skill needs. The materials and techniques listed in the Compendium were selected on the basis of practicality rather than a particular philosophy of reading instruction, and the entries are representative of the reading materials available in those schools involved in the field tryout of the Prototypic Reading System. The Compendium represents suggested materials and techniques and is to be viewed by the user as open ended. A bibliography of publishers of instructional materials is included. (WB)
