A 4-weeks summer reading institute with emphasis on reading skills in the content areas was held in 1969. The program was designed for teachers and students from grades 4 to 6, parents, innovation team members, and teacher aides from the Model School Division. Intensive effort was made to provide teachers with special skills in classroom organization, teaching methodology, and the use of current materials and programs. Content reading skills were highlighted through establishment of curriculum laboratories in mathematics, social studies, and science. Teachers were introduced to language experience, linguistics, and individualized reading instruction techniques. The first days of the Institute were spent in establishing interpersonal relationships to emphasize effects of personal interactions in the teaching-learning situation. An evaluation instrument was designed and administered to the participants to seek background information and to assess individual attitudes and expectations. A student checklist was also given to participating children. Response data were analyzed are reported in detail. Tables and appendixes are included. (AW)
