Conquest is a laboratory project for first-grade repeaters and for students in second grade through sixth grade who have difficulty in reading. It features an individualized, eclectic approach made possible by low student/teacher ratios and by a wide variety of materials and equipment. Instructional and diagnostic procedures are highly structured, facilitating the task of individualizing instruction for a large number of students. Children nominated by their classroom teachers are thoroughly screened for reading deficiencies and contributing health conditions prior to admission to the project. A nurse and a counselor work with problems outside the scope of the reading clinicians. This brochure describes the program's approach and requirements in terms of instruction, management/communication, personnel, materials/equipment, facilities, and costs. Criteria to consider in adopting the program and a timetable for getting started are also outlined. (AA)
