It was concluded that first grade children did not have strong preconceptions of letter-sound relationships when they entered school…

This paper describes such a research project and defines some of the specific problems in teaching reading to black subjects. The hypothesis tested was: E…
Negro Speech and Others
Dialect Training and Reading
PRESENTS RESULTS from a dialect training project conducted in a rural Georgia Negro school. Several reading experts have written that the dialect spoken by many Negro children may interfere with the acquisition of decoding skills. In order to conform or reject this position two determinations must be made: the extent to which these children can be taught to speak an approximation of standard white speech; the effects of that dialect training upon…

The final measure, the Rystrom Dialect Test, was administered to 120 Negro and 100 white children in Georgia. Results indicated a significant mean score difference between Negro and white subjects on the final measure. Suggestio…
