contents After-School Study Centers, New York City. Elementary Program in Compensatory Education 2. After School Programs Arithmetic Audiovisual Aids Compensatory Education Disadvantaged Youth Elementary School Students Instructional Materials Program Evaluation Reading Improvement Remedial Mathematics Remedial Programs Remedial Reading School Personnel Teaching Methods The curriculum in this after school program for low income Negro and Puerto Rican elementary school (grades 2-6) consisted primarily of remedial reading and arithmetic, library training, homework assistance, and a "Special Potential Development Service" providing music, art, and health education. The volunteer students were accepted because they were retarded 1 year or more in reading or arithmetic. An evaluation of the 1964-65 program showed that a sample of fourth-grade students enrolled in the reading program for 3 to 6 hours a week had made significantly greater gains in reading age than a control group from the same schools. The greater the attendance, the greater the gains were. In the 1966-67 program the students in the program showed significant gains over expected performance in reading at each grade level. A description of the program's activities includes information on staff, teaching techniques (particularly reading), instructional materials, audiovisual aids, and costs. (EF)
