Reading Program Uses Multi-Level Materials Reading was stressed in ninth grade English to remedy any deficiencies that students might have. Study was completely individualized so that students could work at their own reading level determined by testing. Each student had a chance to do independent study. He also received instruction in basic skills as well as having a teacher work with him in an advisory capacity.
