| Abstract: |
This report discusses the fourth year of a remedial reading program for disadvantaged second-through-fourth-grade pupils. Separate sections deal with program goals and objectives; selection of participants; reading resource centers; measurement and analysis of reading achievement, self-concept attitudes toward reading, attendance, and parental reactions; statistical results; and conclusions and recommendations. As a result of the reported studies, the reading resource centers were judged successful in improving reading skills, attitudes toward reading, and school attendance of the target pupils, but not in improving students' self-concepts.
