Declining Reading Scores: So What?

Harrison, Alton, Jr.; And Others

Illinois School Research and Development, v16 n1 p7-11 Fall 1979

The authors question the furor over declining reading scores, since their study of the daily reading materials of white collar, skilled labor, unskilled labor, and retail personnel indicated little need for these job holders to function at more than a sixth-grade reading level. (Editor/SJL)
