Reading Effectiveness Program: Middle, Junior and Secondary School Guide.

This guide offers suggestions for an all-school reading program focusing on four areas of instruction: a diagnostic-prescriptive instructional reading program, a content area instructional reading program, a recreational-leisure reading program, and an efficiency-study skills reading program. Techniques for diagnostic-prescriptive reading include reading interest inventories, informal reading inventories, standardized reading achievement tests, and a checklist for organizing reading instruction. Suggestions are given for teaching the developmental skills of vocabulary, comprehension, and study skills. Comprehensive sections on how to teach reading in the content areas of English, social studies, science, mathematics, and home economics are provided. A materials listing indicates level and skills use of many commercial materials. Means for evaluating the all-school reading program are suggested. (MKM)
