Programs for Educationally Deprived Children. ESEA Title I Evaluation Report, September, 1975- August, 1976.
Turner, W. E.; And Others
During the 1965-76 school year, ESEA Title I programs in Wichita, Kansas were conducted in 20 Title I target elementary schools and 52 extended service elementary schools. Programs included corrective reading, mathematics, and preschool components. There were also small but important programs for children in the neglected and delinquent institutions. A parent education component was implemented. In the 1975 summer session, the main areas of reading and mathematics were emphasized with additional inputs into the institutions and early childhood programs. A sizeable portion of the summer school budget was allocated for tuition scholarships. Five thousand six hundred and two pupils were involved in regular year programs. There were 3048 pupils in corrective reading with 2454 in mathematics, some of whom may have been in both programs. Seventy-six percent of the pupils met or exceeded the stated major performance for reading that pupils should gain .8 of a month on the California Reading Test for each month of instruction. Fifty-five percent of 2,054 pupils with pretest and posttest scores met the mathematics performance objectives on posttests. These objectives were measured by criterion referenced basic skills tests.
