remedia1 teaching with a view to raising the reading Level
A group of 25 children, age range 8-10 years, from Winns Avenue
J,M,School all reported as either completely non-reading or very
backward in reading, were given tests by the Psychologist to ascertain
(1) Reading Accuracy Level (Burt), (2) Auditory word discrimination
(Gates), (3) Sound-blending (Gates), (4) Hand and Eye dominance.
Each child was given a reading age on Burt's scale e.g., a child
with a reading age of 6 years is equal in reading achievment to an
average 6 year old child.
