This project is a followup of a 1972-1973 project which surveyed reading programs among 2,000 nonpublic schools. As in 1972-1973, this project contains both an action phase and a research phase. The purposes of the project were to provide regional staff development programs which deal with nonpublic school needs as identified in the 1972-1973 project; to develop, via a series of workshops, strategies for reading improvement for nonpublic schools serving the disadvantaged, particularly the bilingual; to update the 1972-1973 survey of promising projects and to expand the survey to include elementary schools, high schools, and adult education programs not previously included; and to report the outcomes of these programs and surveys to interested schools and other parties.
