Developed for use with migrant children between the ages of 8 and 12 years, working at a second grade level, this Zip Pak was created to give additional aid in reading and vocabulary building. Since the speaking vocabulary of these children tends to be normal while their reading and writing vocabulary tends to be low, an attempt was made to reinforce their reading vocabulary, using words already a part of their speaking vocabulary. The Zip Pak's objective is to improve the child's word recognition by at least 10%. Two types of lessons are provided. The first type provides a student's book, in which all lessons are presented. These lessons consist of such activities as flash cares, reinforcement activities, drawing, writing, poem reading, magic word puzzles, and a crossword puzzle. The second type is located almost entirely in this teacher's manual. These lessons involve following directions, writing about an experience, reading their own sentences, and putting the story in their books. The various parts of these lessons may be used as single lessons or combined to make longer lessons. A word list to be used as pre- and posttest is also included. (NQ)
