Aim of the Zip Pak for the third reader level is to improve the migrant child's interest in reading. This Zip Pak consists of special stories for boys using boys' ideas, and stories for girls using their own experiences. Behavioral objectives of the lessons are to have the child indicate 10 percent happier faces on the posttest; to have an equal number of blame-self, blame-others on the posttest; and to have 25 percent more praise-self on the posttest. The stories for boys were developed by two boys, aged 9 and 12, over a period of four weeks, using interviews and writing sessions. Two stories about the personal experience of two third grade girls were developed. This teacher's manual consists of two lesson plans for using the stories and directions for administering, scoring, and interpreting the pre- and posttest. (NQ)
