Jonathan Turner Junior High School, in Jacksonville, Illinois, identified 121 7th- and 8th-grade students as being below grade level in one or more subject areas. A special program for slow learners was designed, which called for classes of no more than 20 students. The program was successfully initiated without special funding or added personnel. Procedures for teacher selection and student selection were carefully developed. Proposed teaching strategies emphasized remedial reading, increased retention, experiential learning, improved self-concept, development of organizational skills, etc. The program featured a token economic system where each student received income from attending classes, completing homework assignments, and receiving high grades, and paid fees for renting forgotten supplies and breaking rules. The program also involved "prediction" and "chunking" activities in the reading curriculum, and an interdisciplinary approach to writing assignments and writing requirements. Sample instructional plans are provided for units in social studies, math, and science. Appendices contain: (1) sample language arts units which illustrate differences between the regular curriculum and the slow-learner curriculum, (2) samples of parental correspondence and program evaluation forms, and (3) materials for implementation of the token economic system.
