The research and development activities of Research and |
|
Instruction Units at four elementary schools in Madison, |
|
Wisconsin, during the 1966-67 school year are summarized. |
|
Individualization and motivation were the focal points of |
|
these projects; special attention was given to language |
|
arts. Neither of the language environment programs |
|
yielded significant results, but pupils in the |
|
experimental group showed progress as great as or greater |
|
than that of control pupils. In a comparison of reading |
|
approaches for first-grade children, the linguistic |
|
approach was effective for girls; the basal reader |
|
approach was more successful for boys. In a sixth-grade |
|
unit, pupils using individualized reading materials |
|
performed better than pupils using basal readers. With |
|
the aid of reading consultants, the staff of one school |
|
developed a scope and sequence of skills for an |
|
individualized reading program. Primary pupils exposed to |
|
this program made greater gains in reading vocabulary and |
|
comprehension than would usually be expected. The reading |
|
program is being implemented at all grade levels in four |
|
schools for the 1967-68 school year. (Author/BS) |
