The state-funded program allows school districts to employ teachers who have received special preparation in teaching reading to primary pupils.

The funds set aside for Los Angeles in the coming year total $2,290,000. The program will provide 208 teaching positions at 116 elementary schools where there is a greater than average occurrence of reading disability. Twenty Valley schools are scheduled to partic- pate program. Unde'r the terras of the state guidelines the reading program, the amount of grant money received by the district (all of which goes to salaries) is based on the statewide average salaries of elementary teachers. i iller-Unruh teachers in the Los Angeles city schools have always been teachers with longer terms of experience than average, a district spokesman said, the school district is required to support the balance of the cost in running the program.

In the coming school year, the salary differential will total $1,000,000 for the 208 positions. The spokesman said this amount will be absorbed by the school district, largely through the lower salaries paid to the new teachers hired to replace Miller-Unruh instructors. Miller-Unruh teachers work mainly at the first three grade levels in the 1 i ve elementary schools, the spokesman said. he specialists work with each of the. first Twnty Valley schools then follow the progress of those pupils who need special assistance as they go through the second and third grades.
