READING The Reading teacher surveys records of students, finding out if they can be helped. She further sur¬ veys their problems with standard and informal tests. She then places them in groups where they can work with people who have similar problems. In the reading program you work with many col¬ lege material students who need help in mastering their skills. They may have lost out on these skills because of frequent moves, or for other reasons. Reading is a program that can help everyone, be¬ cause everyone can improve his reading skills.
