A STUDY OF THE ELEMENTARY SUMMER SCHOOL REMEDIAL READING PROGRAM OF THE OMAHA PUBLIC SCHOOLS

MARGARET ELLEN FITCH, University of Nebraska - Lincoln

Abstract

Public awareness of the importance of reading is at an all time high. Learning to read is one of the most urgent and crucial tasks of a lifetime. Research shows that read- ing abilities are not fully acquired in the primary age levels or even during the elementary school years. However, the foundations for reading competence laid during these school years will determine much of a person's future success and happiness. For the majority of children, a good foundation for reading is provided in the regular school However, since many children need extra help, summer school activities have been made available to benefit these children.
