The Problem of Teenagers Reading on Elementary Levels: An Analysis of Approaches or How to Teach CVC to a Dude.

Burks, Ann T.

To help an elementary-level reader in a secondary school learn to read, the program must not threaten the student's ego or undermine peer approval, and it must be individualized, in the diagnostic-prescriptive mold. Any organizational plan that meets these criteria should be workable. The characteristics of several possible approaches are described, including reading labs, tutorial situations, resource teachers, homogeneous groups in one-teacher classrooms, and heterogeneous groups in one-teacher classrooms.
