McClellan Primary Grade Supervisor to present the study she had made of the special placement program for educationally handicapped children on the first grade level. Mrs.McClellan stated, The purpose of this study was to measure the effectiveness of providing a year of rich, highly structured educational and social experiences at the end of first grade for children who have average or above average mental ability but who had developed at a significant educational lag. Mrs. McClellan explained that an experimental group was organized with first grade pupils having average or above mental ability but serious educational handicap at the end of the first year.Seventeen children in the Springville area, by parent approval, were enrolled in this group. For comparison purposes, a control group was established of children in the same classification who had gone on to second grade. Mrs. McClellan said, "Since reading seems to be at the heart of school success or failure at the primary grade level the chief concern of this research study has been limited to reporting the achievement in this subject. A basic assumption of this study was that reading failures can be identified at the first grade level and that a program of remediation would be more effective if administered at this time.
