Teachers and supervisors need to provide quality experiences in reading for each learner. School systems can appraise the effectiveness of their present reading curricula in a variety of ways. The following issues are involved in evaluating the reading curriculum: (1) objective selection; (2) objective sequencing; and (3) appraisal procedures to ascertain reading progress. Each program objective should be thoroughly assessed. Proper sequencing of objectives is also important. Learning opportunities should be designed to provide diverse experiences in reading through a multi-media approach. Students' achievement in reading can be appraised in several ways. Evaluation procedures can be developed cooperatively with teachers and students, or generated by the reading teacher. (MM)
