Will Carter's Welfare Reform Plan Reform Welfare?: Evidence From Empirical Research, Mary Bryna Sanger
Will Carter's Welfare Reform Plan Reform Welfare?: Evidence From Empirical Research, Mary Bryna Sanger
The Journal of Sociology & Social Welfare
This paper introduces the central dimensions which have emerged in the current welfare reform debate. They include adaquacy, work incentives, family stability and cost. The last legislative session introduced a new group of "welfare reform" proposals, each attempting to address these critiques of the current welfare system. Considering four major bills including Carter's Comprehensive Program for Better Jobs and Income on the basis of recent research findings, results in a tentative preference for Carter's plan. It addresses the major reform dimensions better than the others and would result in modest improvements. Nevertheless, true reform is unlikely to be achieved by …

Plant Seeds This Spring For Reading This Summer--Reap Rewards Next Fall!, Patricia Cunningham
Reading Horizons: A Journal of Literacy and Language Arts
Once upon a time in a far-off land, there was a school system that worked very hard on its reading program. Everyone worked hard on reading. The School Board declared reading its top priority and put the lion's share of its budget into reading. The superintendent supported reading and lay awake nights thinking of ways to make the reading program better. All the principals thought reading was important and showed they felt this way by sponsoring schoolwide USSR and motivational reading programs and by listening to children read and reading to children. The teachers spent most of their day teaching …

The "Guestworker" As Metaphor: In Clarification Of Social Economic Contradictions And Systemic Crisis., Stephen I. Woods
The Journal of Sociology & Social Welfare
In May 1979 the French National Assembly passed legislation giving the government sweeping powers to expel foreign workers. Yet neither the government nor the employers really want to send most of the immigrant workers home, and thereby lose them as a source of cheap labor for both public and private enterprise. It is likely that the employers hope to use the new legislation to keep foreign workers in a state of permanent insecurity, to discourage them from protesting against their low pay, poor working conditions and the racism they encounter daily. Indeed, employers would like to see foreign workers treated …

Weighting Miscues In Informal Inventories: A Precautionary Note, James V. Hoffman
Reading Horizons: A Journal of Literacy and Language Arts
Even among those who are not readily in agreement with the numerous implications for instruction being put forward in the name of a "psycholinguistic" model of reading, there is substantial support for the constructive dialogue and spirited interactions which have been generated. The enthusiasm of some, however, has, at times, been taken to such extremes that the reality of the classroom has all but been ignored. Recently, for example, my students encountered some difficulty in reconciling certain practical applications of miscue techniques with another fundamental precept of reading instruction; that is, the critical role of successful practice in connected reading …

Teaching In Tandem: Media Specialist/Librarian & The Classroom Teacher, Diane Stephanie Wagner, Judith Rosenfeld
Reading Horizons: A Journal of Literacy and Language Arts
The NCTE/ AASL joint Committee on Learning Resources has been charged by both organizations with the responsibility of finding areas of cooperation and communication between media specialists/librarians and English teachers. Professionals in both fields have strong opinions about the nature and depth of experiences the student should have in a school media center. The questions upon which they are focusing their attention are: What skills are to be initially introduced, developed and reinforced? At what grade level are these skills to be taught? Where will the teaching process occur: in the classroom, media center/library, or both? Will the teacher or …

In this study the feasibility of administering the Woodcock Passage Comprehension Test in written rather than oral form was examined. ** In their short life the Woodcock Reading Mastery Tests (Woodcock. 1973) have quickly found wide-spread usage. A critical review of the tests by Tuinman (1978) points out various limitations to the claims made by Woodcock for his tests. but nevertheless recognizes this battery as an important and useful contribution to the field.
Psycholinguistics Applied To Reading Instruction, A Sterl Artley
Psycholinguistics Applied To Reading Instruction, A Sterl Artley
Reading Horizons: A Journal of Literacy and Language Arts
Teachers who are doing their homework in the way of professional reading are meeting with increased frequency the word, psycholinguistics, especially as it relates to reading. One might assume that the very appearance of the word connotes some abstract body of knowledge having meaning only to language theoreticians. On the other hand it is possible that once understood, the word may be a label for a developing body of knowledge that has far-reaching implications for reading teachers. In fact, one might discover that for the most part psycholinguistic thinking puts into a new context much that has been accepted and …

Differentiating Text Assignments In Content Areas: Slicing The Task, John R. Readence, David Moore
Reading Horizons: A Journal of Literacy and Language Arts
There are several ways to accommodate content reading assignments with students' varied reading levels. Rieck (1977) reported that many times content teachers simply do not expect their students to read the text. She found that tests given in content classrooms often covered only material from lectures and class discussions rather than text reading. In addition, students were rarely required to discuss their assigned readings.

Everywhere, supervisors, teachers and education specialists are busily engaged in inservice meetings and workshops in an effort to become familiar with writing, implementing and revising Individual Education Programs (IEP's) for children eligible or enrolled in a Special Education Program. The provision in The Education For All Handicapped Children Act, Public Law 94-142, requiring an IEP for each handicapped child has caused a great deal of activity and development in the field of Special Education.

A Model For Faculty In-Service In The Secondary Reading Program, George M. Usova
Reading Horizons: A Journal of Literacy and Language Arts
The issue of developing effective in-service education within the secondary reading program is a concern for most curriculum supervisors and principals. While the reading program in the secondary school may be limited or partial in scope, the consequences of effective reading instruction extend into the content areas; consequently, all teachers need to become involved in the improvement of instruction in so far as reading affects their discipline.

Nonvisual Aspects Of Reading, Duane R. Tovey
Reading Horizons: A Journal of Literacy and Language Arts
Psycholinguistic research has recently characterized reading as a communicative process whereby the reader predicts the thoughts of an author by sampling as little of the visual display (print) as possible (Goodman, 1967). How is it possible for a reader to predict an author's thoughts accurately without processing every segment of print? In addition to minimal visual cues, readers utilize both their oral language abilities and past experiences to predict an author's intentions - assuming they share common language patterns and experiences.

Political De-Moralization Of The Poor: Organizing Lower-Class Families Of The Mentally Retarded, Leonard Fontana
Political De-Moralization Of The Poor: Organizing Lower-Class Families Of The Mentally Retarded, Leonard Fontana
The Journal of Sociology & Social Welfare
This paper employs an analytic framework based on organizational incentives to explain the failure of recent welfare reform efforts. The data consists of observations, interviews, and routine inhouse reports collected on a federally funded program, Project STAR. The project was developed with the aim of mobilizing lower-class and minority families of the mentally retarded in support of reform of mental retardation services in five cities in the U.S. A service-inducement strategy was pursued by the reform organization to overcome the difficulties of enticing lower-class families of the retarded to participate in organizational activities. This strategy appears to have had several …
