Abstract	This New York City Umbrella Program for reading enrichment was implemented in the context of the study of the marine environment. It combined language arts and science study as applied to the study of this environment. One hundred eighty-five pupils from seven fifth grade classes in four schools participated in the program. Classes of students with the greatest need for reading improvement were selected by principals who were receptive to the innovative program. The program objectives were: to determine whether pupils showed improvement in their ability to perceive relationships in science terminology and concepts enabling them to organize and classify information according to common characteristics, and finally, to determine whether pupils showed significant improvement in their ability to read and construct graphs, diagrams and tables. Pupils were pre and post tested using the Science Research Associates criterion-reference test called Probes. The evaluation indicated that all objectives were attained except significant improvement in reading skills. The report concluded that the program proved that the gains in reading comprehension skills of classifying, and distinguishing fact from fiction and opinion was attributed to the quality of the curriculum and program.
