This program guide outlines an advanced laboratory course using multimodal materials from junior high school to college which is designed to improve reading and comprehension, visual and auditory efficiency, and study skills. Each student begins at a test-determined level and progresses as skill and efficiency increase. The basic purpose is to provide students with an opportunity to practice those reading skills which will be most helpful to them in reading the quantities of materials required in many content courses. Performance objectives, rationale, course content, teaching strategies, student resources, and teacher resources are included. (AW)
