Approaching Remedial Reading: A Staff Developmental Activity for Secondary Teachers; A Report on Reading in the Secondary School: A Workshop in Reading Instruction for Teachers.

A 30 hour remedial reading workshop, designed for all secondary language arts teachers and for selected secondary teachers in all subject areas, is described in this report. The workshop was designed for teachers in the Pamlico County (North Carolina) Schools by members of that school system and the General Assistance Center at East Carolina University. The first three sessions were devoted to investigation of the reading problem and resulted in a decision to design a reading workshop for students to be implemented into the curriculum. Sessions 4-10 were then devoted to formulating a rationale to govern the course, writing behavioral objectives, developing strategies to achieve those objectives, and then selecting materials with which to implement the strategies. The syllabus for the proposed course is included in the report. (MKM)
