As part of an effort to help coordinate information flow (and thus, future research activities), this fourth Inventory of Projects and Activities in Reading and English continues to report (1) action programs seeking to exploit advances in linguistic science and related fields, (2) projects seeking to explore ways of handling the special language problems of speakers of nonstandard varieties of English, (3) school-based comparative studies, many of which deal with methods, materials, and test instruments used in teaching beginning and remedial reading, (4) studies of language arts and English curricula with a view to modification or revision, (5) materials and test construction projects, and (6) projects to exploit audiovisual aids. Desired information can be retrieved by state, level of instruction, topic, and an alphabetical listing of investigators. Appended are the TENL Directory of Information Sources and a listing of reading programs recently funded by Title III of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act. (HS)
