Reading Instruction in Middle Level Schools: Results of a U.S. Survey.

Irvin, Judith L.; Connors, Neila A.

Journal of Reading, v32 n4 p306-11 Jan 1989

Reports on a survey of 72 "recognized" middle schools and 83 randomly chosen schools, which indicates that most schools require reading instruction, especially in grade six. Finds that many offer remedial programs, but that practice has not responded to theoreticians' advocacy for reading in content areas. (RS)
