| Abstract | In February 1988, a survey was conducted to examine placement procedures and developmental reading programs at two- and four-year colleges in New York State. Surveys were mailed to 30 two-year colleges and 28 four-year colleges, requesting information on the placement tests and cut-off scores used; types of additional diagnostic testing; course design, content, and grading procedures; and policies regarding the granting of college credit for remedial courses. Study findings, based on a 78% response rate included the following: (1) the Nelson-Denny Reading Test was the most commonly used placement test by both two- and four-year colleges; (2) 67% of the four-year colleges did not use a reading test for student placement, though 36% of these institutions had special programs in reading and writing for disadvantaged students; (3) 69% of the two-year colleges and 11% of the four-year colleges had mandatory placement into remedial programs for students with skill deficiencies; (4) 66% of the two-year colleges, offered reading courses at more than one level, with 21% providing four levels of coursework; and (5) at 30% of the two-year colleges and 12% of the four-year colleges, remedial reading courses were paired with other courses. The survey instrument is included. (EJV) |
