The Graduate School of Education and Roxbury High School are jointly conducting a three-pronged reading program aimed at identifying and remedying the problems of poor readers, Ed school officials said yesterday.
The reading program, started last week as a part of the larger Harvard/Roxbury School Program, will study possible curriculum revisions, will train Roxbury personnel, and institute diagnostic reading tests, Laurie T. Slobody, coordinator of the reading program, said.
Charles Ray, headmaster at Roxbury High, said yesterday he hopes the program will develop material that can be used permanently to alleviate the reading deficiencies presently hindering 70 per cent of all Roxbury High students.
Ray added that he will not be able to evaluate the program until the end of the semester after the final results have been studied.
