In order to determine what programs and practices in teaching reading were being used by the elementary schools in Saskatchewan, a survey was carried out in the winter of 1973. Eighty-two percent of the questionnaires (630) were returned by the schools. The survey shows that elementary schools in Saskatchewan use a variety of plans for classroom organization and a large majority of the classrooms are self-contained. Experimentation with other forms of organization is evident in a small number of schools. The methods of instruction also vary considerably as do the instructional materials used in teaching reading. The findings of the survey are presented in both narrative and table form. (RB)
