For several years, the Eloy Elementary Schools have had a retention-failure pattern among a group of children consistently dominated by migrant children. After an investigation, the inability to profit from reading instruction was found to be one of the many factors contributing to this pattern. The lack of the ability to use the English language was felt to be a prime cause of this reading deficiency since migrant children are consistently confronted with the necessity to read in a foreign language. Reading is an extension of a child's language, and his language is an outgrowth of his experiences. Thus, it was thought, at the Eloy Elementary Schools, that an attempt should be made to extend these children's experiences in order to further develop their English language competency. "The Eloy Story" describes the "language-experiences" of the Eloy migrant children during summer school. The "language-experiences" described include experiences such as eating breakfast and lunch together, swimming, and taking short, daily field trips; group interaction activities; sense awareness; language activities; and group committee work. Also discussed in "The Eloy Story" are the preservice and inservice training of the personnel and the subjective, objective, oral language, and oral language growth evaluations of the program. (NQ)
