Abstract	Designed to improve underachieving high school students' reading and communication skills, the Secondary Reading Program served 595 ninth, tenth, and eleventh graders in 12 Columbus, Ohio, public schools. Funding was made available through the Ohio Disadvantaged Pupil Program Fund (DPPF). Thirteen teachers participated in the 1987-88 program, eight of them using computer-assisted instruction (CAI) to teach 402 students, and four of them serving 193 students with regular program instruction. Diagnostic tests assessed students' individual reading strengths and weaknesses. Data analyzed included pretest and posttest scores, and inservice evaluation forms. Specific objectives of the program were (1) that pupils who attended 80% of the 5.7-month training period would show an average of 1.0 Normal Curve Equivalency (NCE) for each month, and (2) that program personnel would be provided at least two inservice sessions and that at least 80% of the personnel attending each session would rate the session as valuable. The first objective was not attained, while the second objective was technically attained but fell short of the intent of the objective. Several recommendations for the 1989-90 school year program include conducting a followup study and restructuring the program. (Eleven tables of data are included, and evaluation forms are appended.)
