Substantial Gains From Newark Remedial Reading Program
In Newark sixth graders like Jimmy, reading at fourth grade level, show yearlong progress during a federally funded remedial program. The district used a $37,000 grant to run five targeted programs at Muller and M D Silva schools, with individual assessments guiding each student's pace and level. A district rating credits computer-analyzed test scores and tailored instruction for high teacher competence and small class sizes. By March 1984, 24 students graduated to regular classes, with only two remaining below their peers' level.
