Abstract
For the school year 1973-1974, thirteen students at Floyd Elementary School were identified as having specific learning disabilities in grades one and two. They became the experimental group for this study. Another sixteen students in another elementary school in the same district at the same grade levels were also identified as having specific learning disabilities. This group did not have the benefit of a specific learning disabilities program in their school. These students comprised the control group for this study. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effectiveness of the specific learning disabilities program at Floyd in developing reading skills. The study lasted one school year. The research attempted to determine if the Floyd first and second grades students in the specific learning disabilities program obtained a si3nificantly higher reading achievement level over similar but untreated students in the control group.
