This evaluation attempts to measure the extent and effectiveness of the 1971 Newark ESEA Title I program that extended the regular school year reading program into the summer months for 19,391 pupils in grades K-12. The instructional activities encompassed remedial and developmental reading, development of language arts skills, and implementation of bilingual programs to improve the skills of both English- and Spanish-speaking children. A wide diversity of outdoor experiential activities that incorporated basic skills learning components were included. Evaluation data were assembled from interview and questionnaire results of a sample of personnel and students, standardized test scores, and onsite observations. (Author/MLF)
