The program format is discussed, as well as the operation of the program, the directed reading and follow-up activities, library and free reading time, the reading laboratory, record keeping and grading, and advantages and disadvantages of the program. The results of the 1975-1976 program are considered, and graphs which indicate pretest and posttest reading levels are included. Among the attachments are a weekly schedule, a list of instructional content areas and activities, course evaluation results, a list of frequently used instructional materials, and a floor plan. (LL)
