THE EVALUATION OF A PROJECT IN READING INSTRUCTION IN A TEACHER TRAINING PROGRAM IS REPORTED. THE PROJECT WAS AN EXTENSIVE EFFORT TO UPGRADE THE TEACHING OF READING SKILLS AT THE ELEMENTARY, JUNIOR, AND SENIOR HIGH SCHOOL LEVELS. TEACHERS WERE ORIENTED TO NEW MATERIALS AND NEW APPROACHES FOR TEACHING BASIC READING SKILLS. THE USE OF SELECTED MATERIALS REFLECTED MAJOR METHODS OF TEACHING PHONICS, LINGUISTIC TECHNIQUES, BASAL READERS, LANGUAGE EXPERIENCE, AND INDIVIDUALIZED READING. A DETAILED OUTLINE FOR ALL PHASES OF THE PROGRAM IS INCLUDED. PLANS AND SUGGESTIONS FOR THE CONTINUED OPERATION OF THE PROJECT ARE PROVIDED. (MC)
