The Elementary Secondary Education Act Title I program described in this paper served 1550 educationally deprived pupils in 82 Kansas elementary and junior high schools during the 1971-1972 academic year. The primary goals of the reading program were to improve and upgrade word recognition and reading skills and to improve pupils' attitudes. The remedial systems utilized were eclectic: individual teachers developed techniques which were most successful in their specific situations. Although participants ranged in level from grades one to nine, a special effort was made to provide instruction in the primary grades. Discussions of the educational context in which remediation occurred, of personnel utilization, of diagnostic techniques, and of evaluation of program success are included in the program description. Assessment of data revealed that from 54% to 73% of the students achieved at least one month's gain for each month of instruction, according to three evaluation measures. Recommendations urged that the corrective reading program be continued. (KS)
