The major characteristics of this program are as follows: the prime use of the child's own language in learning to read; the ability of the child to choose the reading material; frequent, private conferences between the child and the teacher; the inclusion of the child in groups, determined by specific needs or tasks to master. This test presents a new philosophy of reading, combining ideas old and new, to inspire a life-long interest in reading.
