This ERIC/RCS Special Collection contains 10 or more Digests (brief syntheses of the research on a specific topic in contemporary education) and FAST Bibs (Focused Access to Selected Topics--annotated bibliographies with selected entries from the ERIC database), providing up-to-date information in an accessible format. The collection focuses on reading in the middle and high school, and includes material on reading aloud to students, reading-writing relationships, reading across the curriculum, improving reading comprehension, computers and reading instruction, selecting reading materials, family involvement, and reading assessment. The collection also includes information on content area reading, cooperative learning and reading, trade books in the classroom, administrators and the reading program, and vocabulary instruction. The material in the special collection is designed for use by teachers, students, administrators, researchers, policy makers, and parents. A profile of the ERIC Clearinghouse on Reading and Communication Skills (ERIC/RCS), an order form, and information on a computerized search service, on searching ERIC in print, on submitting material to ERIC/RCS, and on books available from ERIC/RCS are attached.
