Abstract
This paper presents a study to determine whether a silent reading program supplemented by oral reading activities was significantly more effective than a totally silent reading program in term of reaching achievement. The sample included 20 fifth grade students from a self-contained classroom. A control and experimental group was created by use of a table of random numbers, intelligence and reading achievement scores. When the ninety day study was completed, a second set of reading achievement scores was obtained.
Recommendations included additional studies using a larger population and suggestions for additional research.
