An Investigation Of The Relationship Between Visual Perceptual Abilities And Reading Achievement, Dale L. Melada
An Investigation Of The Relationship Between Visual Perceptual Abilities And Reading Achievement, Dale L. Melada

The high percentage of children with reading disabilities, and children, boys especially, whose reading is not commensurate with their abilities warrants the need for the study presented. The purpose of the study was two-fold. Its first intention was to evaluate two visual perceptual tests, the …

The recruitment and preparation of such teachers is seriously hindered by 60 years of neglect, suppression and degradation forced upon the junior high and its teachers. The actual discriminatory practices of salary differences, qualification or ability differences, which forced the junior high to …
