well constructed and the content is acceptable to adults. Very little
additional instructional materials will be needed when this book is
used as a basal text.

Out of the Past. Children's Press, 1964, 64 pp.

This is one of a series of four books written for use with adults and
adolescents. The books are interesting and will be a useful aid in
developing study-type reading. Readability level is about 5.

Reading for Meaning. J. B. Lippencott Co., 1962, 72 pp.

A series of workbooks for use in developing comprehension skills.
While not designed for adults, the format and content is acceptable
to them. Vocabulary development is worked into the selections in
an interesting way. The readability levels cover the elementary and
intermediate range.


 Materials For The Intermediate Stage

American History Study Lessons. Follett Publishing Co., 1964.

These short books make excellent vehicles for teaching adults to read
in the social studies area. History concepts are taught in short
self-contained units and the units can be used as self-directed learn-
ing materials. Follett's Study Lessons on Documents of Freedom are
similar to the American History Study Lessons.

Be a Better Reader. Prentice-Hall, 1963, 128 pp. each.

One of a series, the first of which is appropriate to level 7. These
are relatively complete basal texts which were developed for use
with adolescents. Interest level is high and study type reading
skills are stressed. The series extends through the intermediate
levels and into the developmental levels.

Help Yourself to Improve Your Reading. Reader's Digest, 1962, 160 pp.

As with other Digest offerings, the material is adult in nature and
of high interest level. Vocabulary and comprehension exercises are
good and the book may be used as a self-help book.

Modern Reading. Charles E. Merrill Co., 1960.

A three workbook series for developing reading skills at the inter-
mediate and developmental stages. This series has been particularly
popular with the older adolescents.
