Enrichment And Supplemental Materials In An Adequate Reading Program In Grades One Through Five, John C. Ayers
Graduate Student Research Papers
It was the purpose of this study to consider materials for enrichment and supplemental purposes to strengthen the present reading program as it now exists in the Castle Rock Elementary School.

This study will therefore concern itself with supplemental and enrichment materials as an integral part of the complete program and not necessarily as entities in themselves.
