DESCRIPTORS Adult Basic Education, *Conference Reports, Conferences, Cultural Opportunities, Industrial Training, Paraprofessional School Personnel, *Reading, *Reading Programs, Relevance (Education), *Social Change, Social Environment, Social Influences, *Technological Advancement ABSTRACT Eight papers read at a joint International Reading Association (IRA) and Association of American Publishers conference in March, 1969, are included in this volume of the IRA Perspectives in Reading series. The purpose of the conference was to discuss the place of reading as a basic communication skill in an increasingly technological society. The papers chosen for this volume discuss (1) the relevance of reading in the face of social and technological revolution,(2) some specific means of meeting the reading needs of society through two kinds of reading programs--paraprofessional instructors (Women's Talent Corps) and industrial reading improvement programs (General Motors), and (3)some possible directions which reading might be expected to take with increasing societal change. Reactions to several of the papers by those attending the conference are included immediately following the papers, and the volume ends with some concluding remarks which summarize the conference.

The success of these practices is demonstrated in two ways: by research-study data collected according to rigorous design, and by consensus among expert practitioners who monitor outcomes as part of their practice. These results—whether scientific data or expert consensus—must be valid and reliable and come from a variety of sources. Reading Excellence Act, 1999 Research in reading should follow the norms of science. Each researcher must try to learn from the work of those who preceded him and to add to a unified body of knowledge—knowing that neither he nor anyone following him will ever have the final word.

This report is the culmination of the evaluation, which included site visits ano field hearings. The largely undocumented knowledge base of Native American experience must be recorded and preserved if it is not to be lost. Ten major challenges were identified on topics such as funding support, training and technical assistance, tribal library holdings, cooperative activities, state and local partnerships, federal policy, model programs, museum and archival services, adult and family literacy programs, and newer information technology. The report contains detailed descriptions of Commission activities and incorporates a "Summary Report" (also published separately), as well as the "Long Range Action Plan" containing strategies for high quality information services to Native American peoples.
