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.
