The reading program in the Fountain Valley School District is premised on meeting the individual needs of each child. This guide, presented in outline form, is to be used by individual teachers as a reminder and handbook of ideas after a series of conferences presenting the reading program conducted by the building instructional leaders. The sections included are: appraisal of reading readiness, organization of the class for the reading program, a plan for individualized reading, the individual teacher-pupil conference, fifteen steps to phonics and structural analysis, basic phonetic principles, reading skills and functional reading in the content areas, listening and audiovisual centers, ways parents can help with the reading program, and evaluation of the reading program. The appendix contains suggested activities for reading follow-up, including 105 ideas for book reports, various vocabulary word lists, suggestions to stimulate reading, and ways to introduce books. An oral reading test and a diagnostic reading inventory are also included. (TO)
