Research developed and evaluated an individualized reading program for 21 third graders with reading problems. It sought to improve their reading ability so they could read and understand new vocabulary words with 80% accuracy, read with increased expression and fluency, comprehend new content and, by transfer, to produce improvement in their language arts and math abilities. One hundred and sixty-five lessons were developed, running from the primer to third-grade levels. The students listened to tapes and watched filmstrips which were prepared by teachers and which introduced new vocabulary. Next they heard a story read on tape, following along in their text. Then, new words were reviewed, followed by worksheet activities and a supplementary story on tape. Pupils then read the stories they previously heard onto audio tapes, which were then evaluated by teachers. Final evaluation indicated the objectives were achieved. Post-testing with the Metropolitan Achievement Test and the Lorge-Thorndike I.Q. Test showed an average gain in I.Q. scores of 17.43 points and the following average gains in achievement (expressed in years of gain): Word Knowledge 1.3, Word Discrimination 1.2, Reading Comprehension 1.9, Spelling 1.7, Language 2.9, Arithmetic Computation 1.9, and Arithmetic Problem Solving 1.5.
