Adaptable as a planning and analysis tool for any educational unit which desires to assess resources and needs for reading/literacy instruction, this needs assessment has been designed with three basic sections: summary of present programs; projections and priorities for new programs; and a summary of reading needs. The assessment procedure is broken down into the following 12 categories: location/physical plant/equipment; number of students; hours spent per week on reading; organization; basic approach; techniques or methodology; student grouping; evaluation; flexibility or adaptability of program; program alternatives; supplies/consumables; media equipment; staff teacher resources.
