| Sumario: | The article describes a primary school program in which teachers and parents have devised a means of providing more adequate instructional program for all pupils. Many stumbling blocks thrown in the way of the child have long been recognized and plan after plan for removing these has been developed by forward thinking educators. Some of these plans have no doubt contributed to a more successful developmental program while others have undoubtedly caused new stumbling blocks to appear. The teachers took as a basis two items which they felt they could use as factors for noting progress. These were, namely, the semester in school and the reading level. The number of semesters a child has spent in school is a factor even though the chronological age of the children at admission may vary as much as eleven months and twenty-nine days. The reading level was determined by all the factors at the hands of the teacher, such as graded texts, tests and general performance. Hence this system of accounting was devised. The primary school consisting of the first three years was divided into six semesters with a reading level corresponding to each semester.
