Project Turnabout, School Year 1975-1976.
Silverstein, Leonard
Students in this remedial reading program were given a chance to "turnabout" through the use of innovative materials and methods used in the program. Remedial instruction in reading and all the language arts was provided. The program utilized three paraprofessionals. The Random House High Intensity Training System was used with 180 fourth through sixth grade students selected to participate in the program because they were at least six months below grade level in reading. The Metropolitan Achievement Test was administered during the first and last week of the program as a diagnostic and assessment instrument. This evaluation report concluded that students in the program increased their reading performance as measured by the Metropolitan Achievement Test. Also, students used library resources more than they had the previous year and expressed favorable attitudes toward the program staff. The reading attitude assessment scale used for the evaluation is included as an appendix. (Author/JP)
