Loenen, Antoinette
British Educational Research Journal, v15 n3 p297-316 1989
Reports the results of an evaluation study of an English non-professional, school-based reading program called Volunteer Reading Help (VRH). Finds no significant VRH effect. Analysis shows many discrepancies between recommended VRH approach and the actual approach taken in practice. Calls for more professional help for the volunteers to improve effectiveness. (KO)
