| Abstract | This study was designed to determine whether or not students assigned to remedial reading courses at Queensborough Community College were actually improving their reading skills. Students (1,543) who scored below 33% on the Reading Comprehension Subtest of the Cooperative English Test (COOP) were divided into four classes of ascending ability and two mixed classes. At the end of the semester all were post-tested using the same test. Scores were compared in vocabulary, level of comprehension, speed, and total reading. Mean scores for each class increased significantly in all four variables. Analysis of variance tests showed the groups to be distinctive from each other, and significantly different on each variable. Students at each reading level progressed on the post-test to the level of the pre-test of the next highest group. A comparison of final grades and the COOP post-test showed more agreement in classes of higher reading ability; 32% of those in the highest group failed COOP, and .6% of that group failed the course, while 77.6% of the lowest group failed COOP, and 33.3% of that group failed the course. Overall, 40.2% reached an acceptable reading level according to COOP, but final grades yielded a success rate of 86.9%. Tukey multiple comparison tests on pre- and post-test scores and frequency tables for the four reading levels are appended. (RT) |
