They were grouped by ability level in reading accur­ acy and comprehension. From the results of written and oral testing,- these fcjiildren were divided into two ability groups. Each group of children attended class for two hours each day for twenty-nine sessions or fifty-eight hours of concentrat­ ed study time. Each group par­ ticipated in a motivational hour of study each day that pertain­ ed to the special unit of study. The older children have con­ centrated their study on wild and rare animals and the young­ er children on domestic animals and those more well fKjpwn.

There isn't any. $1799 is the suggested retail price at the port of entry for the VW sedan. The price includes the Federal excise tax and import duty. It also includes the built-in heater/defroster, windshield washer, electric windshield wipers, outside rearview mirror, padded dash, front seat headrests, and seat belts front and back. • Not to mention the new electric rear-window defogger and the new ignition; steering lock. (When the key is removed, the steering wheel is locked in place.) It's the price of the real thing, not a stripped-down economy model. What else do you have to pay? The charge for transporting the car from the port of entry. The dealer delivery charge. And local sales tax There is one optional that makes a lot of sense. The auto­ matic stick shift. (It eliminates the clutch pedal.) Well, that's it. Unless, of course, you count the cost of gas and oil it takes you to get here in your present car. Crystal Lake Volkswagen, Inc.
