The Navy is interested in finding low-cost, low intervention, methods of improving the reading skills of sailors. Enlisted sailors from the USS LEXINGTON participated in a series of thirty-six captioned TV sessions between February 11 and April 19, 1991. The captioned TV sessions consisted of viewing and reading the audio portion of a regularly televised TV program. The session procedure consisted of turning on the television program and, after a few seconds, turning down the volume so it was inaudible. This procedure encouraged subjects to read the visual presentation of the normally audible soundtrack. All subjects were volunteers.
