Abstract
The Aims of this study were to investigate the effects on reading attainment of individual personal counselling compared with the results obtained by a traditional remedial reading programme, and to consider the association between certain personality characteristics and reading retardation. Four groups, each containing twelve primary school children retarded in reading, were matched, and each group subjected to different treatments. At the end of a six‐month period the children in the counselled group showed a significant rise in reading attainment over all other groups, together with improved self‐images as measured on the Children's Personality Questionnaire.
