Reading Boom Lets 7th Graders Close Gap at Franklin High
In San Francisco the Benjamin Franklin Junior High class of 160 seventh graders raised reading levels from an average of four years three months to eight years four months between February 1970 and May 1972. The program, part of a state funded effort, emphasizes two hours of daily reading, a loaned reading room full of paperbacks, and aides assisting teachers. The project director Marilyn Jones notes no single method explains the success, and stresses building interest and confidence in each child.
