THE READING LAB Reading is basic to every subject in the high school. Through the efforts of Mr. William Barrett, guidance counselor. Ken- ton High School was the recipient of a state grant which provided S15.000 worth of reading equipment, developmental reading materials, and furnishings for “one of the most mod- ern. well-equipped reading laboratories in the state.' Through test results and teacher recommendations, thirty students who wanted to improve their reading comprehension, reading speed, and vocabulary participated in this reading lab experiment. Each student had an individualized program set up for him so that he could progress at his ow n reading rate. Under the supervision of English teacher. Mrs. Juanita Gor- don. and aide. Mrs. Pat McPherson, each student learned to operate a variety of reading machines: VuMates, Guided readers, and cassette players. In addition, each student was responsible for his own testing and record keeping. Students who took part received English credit for taking the course. . . . Deanna Wolf 8 Reading Lab
