The Nature And Role Of High School Reading And Language Competency Tests In Today's Society, Donald C. Cushenbery
The Nature And Role Of High School Reading And Language Competency Tests In Today's Society, Donald C. Cushenbery
Reading Horizons: A Journal of Literacy and Language Arts
During the past several years a sizable segment of the general public has expressed varying degrees of dissatisfaction with the overall academic skills demonstrated by graduates of public and private high schools. According to some reports, scores on national achievement tests relating to reading achievement have been decreasing in many areas of the United States and various colleges and universities such as Stanford have found it necessary to implement massive remedial programs for freshman students in the basic skills areas. Several recent newspaper accounts reveal that the results obtained from different public surveys indicate that a significant percentage of the …
Profile Analysis Of Diagnostic Reading Tests: Is It Warranted?, Kenneth Kavale, Alfred Hirshoren
Profile Analysis Of Diagnostic Reading Tests: Is It Warranted?, Kenneth Kavale, Alfred Hirshoren
Reading Horizons: A Journal of Literacy and Language Arts
Through the use of various screening instruments and achievement measures, a number of children are identified as possible reading disability cases. Once identified, these children are subjected to further testing usually with a reading diagnostic test which attempts to identify specific strengths and weaknesses in performance. Discussions with school psychologists, educational diagnosticians, and teachers of children with reading disabilities suggest that much credence is still placed on profile analysis of diagnostic reading test data as suggested by their authors (Durrell, 1957: Karlsen, Madden, and Gardner, 1966) among others. Reviews by Wechsler (1974), Sattler (1974) and Hirshoren and Kavale (1977), in …

Understanding The Hypothesis, It's The Teacher That Makes The Difference: Part I, Jerome C. Harste
Reading Horizons: A Journal of Literacy and Language Arts
Any explication of the essential components of an effective reading program will likely include a discussion of the teacher's role. Research findings have made it abundantly clear that the single most important element of an effective reading program is the regular classroom teacher. Many other factors are important, of course, but these research findings suggest pupil success or failure is most directly related to the "teacher variable" in the teaching of reading.

A Test Of The Utility Of High Frequency Words, Patrick Groff
A Test Of The Utility Of High Frequency Words, Patrick Groff
Reading Horizons: A Journal of Literacy and Language Arts
How much utility there is for reading instruction in the lists of the most frequently used words (MFUW) has been a topic of great interest for several reading experts. For example, Dechant (1970, p. 248) notes that the 150 MFUW (in this case those of the basal readers from several different series) are "especially useful in group activities such as experience charts, word games and word drills." Durkin (1970, p. 118) also believes that these MFUW are "highly serviceable" for basal reader stories. So much so, she says (1970, p. 424), that one good way to diagnose children's speed-of-reading habits …

Reading Problems--Prevention Rather Than Cure, George Canney
Reading Horizons: A Journal of Literacy and Language Arts
As the title suggests, there is concern among many of us that children can experience serious difficulty in learning to read. We expect to see some evidence of confusion and incomplete skill development as our pupils are learning to read. The quandry we face, however, is that some of these children do not grow beyond these stages—they continue to be confused, to not work up to their full potential. Often we have been unable to identify these children from the others in order to provide special instruction early enough to avoid compounding the learning problems that soon arise. In many …
The Crucial Transition Years, Leonard Courtney
The Crucial Transition Years, Leonard Courtney
Reading Horizons: A Journal of Literacy and Language Arts
Three important years sculpted from a child's formal schooling, islanded as a period of guided passage from childhood to youth. Such is an ideal framework, unfortunately inconsistent with the actuality of the junior high years. Nonetheless, anyone who has worked closely with children of this age (11-14) or grades (7-9) acknowledge an array of differences physical, psychological and emotional which mandates a setting uniquely sympathetic to the pupils' needs. If for no other reason, junior high exists for the exceptional reading opportunity it provides: for intensification and diversification of skills, some ease and stability in dealing with varying content structures, …

Teaching Language Clues To Reading Comprehension, John W. Miller
Teaching Language Clues To Reading Comprehension, John W. Miller
Reading Horizons: A Journal of Literacy and Language Arts
Reading Comprehension is an illusive entity. It is difficult to define, measure and teach. Researchers attempting to construct a theoretical model of the comprehension process for empirical examination are often confronted with a maze of confusing studies. The untangled maze is perhaps more discouraging. Confusion generally gives way to contradiction. Measurement problems are also prevalent in the area of comprehension. Naturally, any quality which is difficult to isolate and describe is equally difficult to measure. Finally, teachers must face the ominous responsibility of helping students obtain a quality which is vaguely defined and measured. It is the most difficult of …

Reading Horizons: A Journal of Literacy and Language Arts
In a competency based reading program, the instructional emphasis is on each student's successful attainment and completion of the specific learning objectives provided. As such, the length of time required for each individual student to complete the objectives may be different.
