Project Conquest (Remedial Reading Project).
East St. Louis School District 189, IL.
This document presents a review of the Remedial Reading Project also known as Conquest. This project served 19 Title I elementary schools, two parochial elementary and junior high schools, and four district junior high schools in the St. Louis, Missouri school district. The main components of the project were the reading rooms, reading clinics, and parental involvement programs. Fourth, fifth, and sixth grade pupils attended the reading clinics. There were 22 parents involved in the Parent Advisory Council. They met every second week and discussed their children's reading deficiencies, learned reading related games which they could play with their children, and saw films on helping children learn to read. All grades, with the exception of the first grade, achieved statistically significant mean gains of 7.5 months. Findings for the junior high students indicated that these students were experiencing great difficulties in work that demanded reading, but performed on norm with their peers in nonreading skills.
