Teaching Reading and Comprehension Skills to Sub-Literate Adults.

Kent, M. R.; Dockrill, F. J.

Forty sub-literate adults were given reading and comprehension skill training. Twenty of the subjects were taught using a multimedia, multimodal and multilevel communication skill system (Experimental Group). The other twenty were taught in a traditional manner using standard reading texts (Control Group). Both Groups received an average of 265 hours of instruction. The Experimental Group showed a significantly greater gain in reading and comprehension skills than the Control Group. (Author/NF)
