"A Study of the Relationships of Certain Student Characteristics to the Achievement Gains ofSelected Disabled Readers Who Participated in the Georgia SummerReading Program," ld.D., The University of Georgia, 1967. Major Professor: I. I. Aaron, Vol. XXVIII, NO. 6, 21324. (Order No. 67-16, 192, Microfilm $3.60; Xero- graphy $12.60, 277 pages.) This study evaluated the effects of a7-week summer reading program on the reading achievementof first, second, and third graders. Two hundred and eighty-eight disabled readers, 158 who wereinstructed and 130 who were not instructed, were studied. Pupil family and teacher characteristics were collected on this sample and on72 successful achievers selected by the study teachers. The study revealed that disabled readers who received summer reading instructiongained more in reading vocabulary and in total reading score overthe summer period than disabled readers who did not receive the instruction. After summer reading instruction, boys were not significantlydifferent from girls in gains made in reading vocabulary, readingcomprehension, and total reading score. In the following school year, thesummer-instructed children did not show any significant gain inreading skill over children who were similarly disabled but did not have the summerinstruction. Disabled readers had significantly more brothersand sisters, did sig- nificantly less reading at home, and ownedsignificantly fewer books . than successful achievers. Male disabled readers expressed a stronger like for school than female disabled readers. 6708 Aaronson, Albert Jack."An Investigation into theRelationship between Maternal Attitudes toward Child Rearing and .theSuccess of Boys in Reading," Ph.D., New York University, 1966. Chairman: Dan Dodson, Vol. XXVII, No. 8, 23324. (Order NO. 67-106, Microfiln $3.00; Xero- graphy $5.60, 112 pages.) The 50 most successful boy readers and the50 least successful boy readers were selected from 19 second-grade classesin a suburban school district. The Parent Attitude Research Instrument by Schaifer and Bell was administered to the mothers ofthese boys in order to investigate the relationship of the mothers' attitudestoward child rearing to the success of boys in beginning reading.Mothers of less successful readers scored significantly higher onStrictness and Avoid- ance of Communication.A difference at a level of trend was found for the attitude described as Inconsideratenessof Nusbaid. Differences between the groups appeared to be more in the organisationof attitudes than in the strength of any particular attitude. 1 6709 Abel, Louise Williams.
