Remedial Reading Skills; Umbrella I, Summer, 1975.
Collins, Erik
This is an evaluation report of a New York City school district educational project funded under Title I of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act of 1965. The program provided remedial reading instruction for 776 economically and educationally disadvantaged high school students at five sites in four high schools. The program was staffed by 17 experienced remedial reading teachers and 17 aides. Numerous site visitations were made by teacher trainers, and frequent teacher training sessions were held. The Metropolitan Achievement Test (MAT), Advanced Level;: Word Knowledge and Reading Comprehension, was administered to all students. Alternative forms of the test were used as pre and posttest measures. An analysis of the data showed that the students made statistically significant gains in reading achievement. Corollary objectives, the means of achieving these objectives, and the results are also contained in this report. Program objectives were met. (Author/BS)
