A common practice in schools and colleges is to test the reading ability of pupils in a given class or grade, to select the ten or fifteen percent of the pupils who obtain the lowest scores, and to provide remedial work in reading for these pupils. Usually, a comparable form of the test is administered at the end of the remedial training to evaluate its success. Typically, the average gain, expressed in terms of grade scores, of the pupils who have had remedial work regularly for a period of several months is two to three grades. Sometimes gains of this extent are reported as a result of much shorter periods of remedial instruction
