Using a Bookmobile As a Resource Room.

The article focuses on a study on the use of a bookmobile as a supplementary resource room for borderline exceptional children in an inner city elementary school in Fayette County, Kentucky. Included in the study were selected fifth, sixth, and primary aged children. All had difficulty in decoding printed words, inferring words from context and configuration, and analyzing words systematically. When researchers studied the effects of the bookmobile on the children, they found out that children viewed the room as a special place. They also learned that the room is equipped with books, audio-visual materials, and is completely structured to fit the needs of learning disabled children.
