Intended for use by teachers of fourth and fifth grade students assigned to a special summer program because they have not met the criteria for promotion, this handbook focuses on strategies by which real reading and its attendant language forms can be maximized within the context of summer and its built-in expectations. The first part of the handbook contains the following: (1) a general outline for an integrated communication arts class, (2) suggestions for supplies, (3) writing activities, (4) a newspaper lesson, (5) a whole class reading/literature lesson, (6) a means for assessing for individualization, (7) a description of an individualized tutorial, (8) techniques for teaching word identification, (9) ways to use sustained silent reading, and (10) discussions of homework and test-taking skills. The second part of the handbook contains daily and weekly lesson plans, and the appendixes provide additional activities and assessment instruments. (FL)
