Abstract
This paper attempts to describe in detail the results of an educational programme aiming at the improvement of reading (accuracy, comprehension and speed) in a class of high grade educationally subnormal boys who were all in one or the other respect unsuccessful readers. For the purpose of this paper an unsuccessful reader is defined as a reader whose power of word recognition, of fluency of reading or of understanding is below the level expected from him. It has been assumed that this level is indicated by the mental age, though it has been kept in mind that the result of a verbal intelligence test need not be the final decision as to the intellectual capacity of a child.
