The first year of the "Operation New Horizons"--Right to Read--Adult Reading Academy Project, sponsored by the Northeast Alabama State Junior College in Rainsville, Alabama, is evaluated in this report. (The objectives of the project, which began on July 1, 1975, centered on (1) developing a reading academy which would help eliminate functional illiteracy in the five-county area serviced by the college and (2) developing a network of community, home-based, and college campus-based reading programs within the service areas.) The first two sections of this report provide a description of program, information on the locale, economy, education, and special factors of the service areas. The evaluation is covered in the third section under two subsections. The subsection, Information and Data Concerning Process Evaluation, includes the project director's monthly progress reports and a five-column evaluation worksheet covering data on personnel/staff functions, appraisal factor, essential points, rating scale, and findings and stipulations. In the second subsection, Product Evaluations, each program's objectives and evaluative criteria are outlined and discussed separately. According to the evaluator, the project has been very successful and many of the program components could and should be used in recruiting and teaching the functional adult in almost any setting. (SH)
