This paper was presented as part of a workshop on A Counseling Approach to Improvement of Reading Skills at the annual convention of California Personnel and Guidance Association, San Francisco, California, February 21, 1971. FILMED FROM BEST AVAILABLE COPY A COUNSELING APPROACH TO IMPROVEMENT OF READING Rationale: Freshmen and transfer students who enter college on academic Probation or with provisional standing often have a combination of reading handicaps and attitudinal problems which makes success in college unlikely, even on a limited (11-12 unit) schedule. Findings of research indicate that students receiving synthesized counseling and instruction in reading make better progress, become more flexible in their approach, and show improvement on assessments of personality. (19) (28) With the increasing numbers of college students, and the broadening of college admissions policies to admit more students from economically deprived areas, efforts are redoubling to find ways of helping those students who enter college with academic deficiencies. Significant numbers of these students have been found to have poor reading skills and a galaxy of personal and attitudinal problems. This paper is based on the findings of a two-year experimental counseling-reading program at Chapman College, completed in June, 1970, by the writer. WHO ARE THE STUDENTS? Students who enter college, either as freshmen or transfers, with less than the usual GPA or acceptable performance in college preparatory subjects, are preponderantly male and often several years older than the student who comes straight from high school. The smaller percentage of women students in this group are also frequently older, and many have worked for several years or hatee been married.

KINDS OF ATTITUDINAL PROBLEMS Most of these students have had unpleasant and unsatisfying academic experiences in Previous schools. Lack of good reading and writing skills has often led to humiliating claisroom experiences, parental ragging, and a feeling of inability to compete. Some of :them have responded with hostility and anti-social behavior, and others with retreat into apathy and inertia. Many of them have difficulty in corAunicating with other people, even their peers. Poor self-image and lack of confidence in themselves is typical." @default.
