Project PRINT, under way three months in Hale County’s classrooms, has already resulted in some positive changes for boys and girls. All teachers have finished their basic diagnostic testing and have been, with the aid of the intern consultants, prescribing individualized work for their students. When the PRINT teacher talks about students’ problems, she no longer says, “He can’t read,” but she says, “He has trouble with consonant blends,” or “He needs help with inferential reading.” This represents a definite growth on the part of PRINT participants and a definite advantage for the students.
