Abstract | A questionnaire concerning the status of college reading improvement programs was sent to the 58 institutions of higher learning in Georgia in the fall of 1969. Thirty schools responded, representing a 52 percent return. Of the 30 schools replying, 21 (67 percent) had a college reading improvement program, while the remaining nine did not. Of the 21 schools with a reading improvement program, nine were administered by the English Department and seven by the Education Department. In one school the program was administered by a private firm. Almost one-half of the schools with a reading improvement program started their programs in 1966 or later, and conversely the other half had programs started from 1944 to 1966. Nearly one-half of the programs gave academic credit, and nearly one-half charged a fee ranging from materials only to $115.00 for private firm. Most of the programs used some type of mechanical aids, workbooks or boxed materials, and tests. These included a wide range of pacers, tachistoscopes, reading films, workbooks, and other materials which are reported by publisher's name. Tables and references are included. (CM) |
