The Direct Instructional System for Teaching Arithmetic and Reading (DISTAR) was developed to provide beginning and remedial instruction to disadvantaged children. This paper describes the DISTAR reading program, noting its heavy emphasis on programmed learning and repetitive drill exercises; it then cites the opinions of proponents and opponents of the program and notes the results of previous studies of the effectiveness of DISTAR. The paper summarizes the results of a survey in which 72 inner-city Chicago elementary school teachers who use the program responded to a questionnaire regarding their opinions of DISTAR (72% response). The results indicated that teachers thought DISTAR was an effective program, especially with slow learners, and that they liked the format and structure of the program and the ease of teaching it. However, teachers thought that DISTAR was not effective with all children, that it was not effective in teaching reading comprehension, and that it did not foster pupil interest more than did other programs. The teachers rejected DISTAR as an exclusive reading program; the majority said they would prefer using another system either alone or in conjunction with DISTAR. (GW)

The DISTAR Arithmetic programs teach the fundamental skills and concepts of math that are critical for students’ success later in school. Level I is typically used with Kindergarten students but is also effective for high-performing preschool through low-performing grade 2 students. Level II is usually for first graders but is effective for students through grade 3. All skills and concepts are presented to small groups in a fast paced, motivating lesson format and are continuously integrated into more sophisticated review and application exercises. Lessons are designed around major skill tracks. Strategies and concepts are linked from one lesson to the next, and everything taught is continuously integrated and practiced in increasingly complex applications.
The focus of Level I is basic addition and subtraction operations. Students master rote, rational, and ordinal counting, algebra operations, concepts of more and less, and simple picture and story problems. In Level II, students practice extensions of what they mastered in Level I, learn to solve column addition problems (with regrouping), and work with multiplication and fractions.
