The implementation of a content reading program at Urbana High School, Urbana, Illinois, is discussed in this document. Reading staff hired with Title VII funds offered assistance to all teachers in the high school by working with classroom teachers in their classes for 60 minutes of class time per week. Free reading time devoted to high-interest materials was encouraged during this time. The Title VII staff instructed teachers in the use of the Wide Range Achievement Test and tested the majority of junior and senior classes of the high school to identify reading problems. Student reading guides were prepared to help bridge the gap between students' reading level and the readability level of the texts. Six-week courses were offered as options in English to students with severe reading difficulties. The resistance to the program felt by the content-area teachers was overcome by the willingness of the reading staff to spend many extra hours preparing materials and leading workshops after school. At the end of the year average growth per student served was two years per semester and, equally important, all teachers had a core of materials to use year after year in assisting students with reading difficulties.
