This paper describes ways to initiate, organize, and administer a Learning to Read through the Arts and Humanities program, an interdisciplinary approach to reading instruction. The paper stresses that school and school district administrators involve teachers in the planning stages of the program to insure their interest in its success. The following steps are suggested for the program's implementation: a survey of community and school resources available for use in the program, assessment of staff needs, teacher training, preparation of objectives, and staff selection.
