| Abstract: |
This study was designed to investigate whether the comprehension skills of the better readers in second and third grade could be significantly increased through the use of a reading enrichment program as an adjunct to their classroom reading program. Subjects were 64 pupils in three second-grade and four third-grade classes in a middle-class suburban community. Subjects were randomly assigned to either a control or an experimental group. The experimental group subjects participated in the reading enrichment program conducted by the investigator twice each week over a 16-week period, each 45-minute session replacing the regularly scheduled classroom reading instruction. Subjects in the control group received only regular classroom reading instruction. Pre- and posttest measures were obtained through the use of the Word Meaning and Paragraph Meaning subtests of the Stanford Achievement Test, Primary Two Battery, Form W. Analysis of the results indicated that the students in the reading enrichment program did not show significantly greater gains in Word Meaning scores, but did show significantly greater gains in Paragraph Meaning scores.
