Abstract: The seventh-grade and eighth-grade program of "Reading Basics Plus" consists of an integrated set of texts, workbooks, and teacher's guidebooks. By a process of small group trials, students' and teachers' reactions to the proposed content of this program were obtained in order to provide editors and contributors with useful information about interest level, readability, comprehensibility, and vocabulary in the proposed selections. Results indicated that pupil interest in the material was high and that the level of reading difficulty in the materials was appropriate for the grades in which it was tested. In addition, detailed information was gathered regarding specific difficult words in the proposed selections. This information was used in the development of glossaries and teacher's editions for the program. (GW)
