| dc.description.abstract | This study was designed to determine if there was a difference in student reading achievement between elementary school pupils enrolled in nongraded and elementary school pupils enrolled in graded reading programs in School District #61, Victoria. The sample of four hundred students (N = 200 boys, 200 girls) was randomly selected from ten elementary schools in the Victoria School District. Five of the ten schools involved in the study used a nongraded form of organization for the purpose of teaching reading. The other five schools used a graded form of organization for teaching reading. The criterion variable, reading achievement, was defined to be a student's raw score on the Metropolitan Reading Test. Analysis of variance was used to test for differences in reading achievement between graded and non-graded groups of students. The eight hypotheses tested in this study indicate that there is no difference in reading achievement between students of the graded and students of the nongraded reading programs. | en |
