Sick And Tired, Louis Foley
Sick And Tired, Louis Foley
Reading Horizons: A Journal of Literacy and Language Arts
Recently one of our sprightliest columnists wrote an entertaining article on things that people were "sick and tired" of hearing. For a final example, as a sort of climax, he said: "I am sick and tired of the attempt to eliminate the word 'now' from the English language. On radio, on television, and in the press there seems to be a conspiracy to wipe out this wonderfully short and to-the-point word meaning 'at this very instant.' The most common substitute is the word 'presently,' which doesn't even mean 'now,' but 'soon,' as everybody with a second-grade education used to know. …

A New Teacher Looks Toward That First Memorable Year, Harriet E. Fredenberger
A New Teacher Looks Toward That First Memorable Year, Harriet E. Fredenberger
Reading Horizons: A Journal of Literacy and Language Arts
As I look ahead to the approaching school year, many thoughts cross my mind. Like many new teachers, I feel a bit overwhelmed with the immensity of the impending task. The desire to be a successful teacher is mixed with nervous anticipation and a few worries. Will I be able to establish and maintain rapport with my class of fifth-graders? Will I be able to motivate my students and promote a desire to learn? Will it be possible for me to meet the needs of the individual children in my class? Will I be a good teacher of reading? In …

Reading And Upward Bound-Another Look, Bruce A. Lloyd, Diane Griewank, Henri Carter
Reading Horizons: A Journal of Literacy and Language Arts
The major purpose of summer Upward Bound instructional programs is to assist those high school students who have the potential for succeeding in a college or university, but who otherwise would probably not be given the opportunity to enter an institution of higher learning. The generally low academic achievement of many of these students is often due to a variety of factors including poor and ineffective teaching (1), lack of motivation (8), and an environment which is far from conducive to scholarly or academic pursuits. In sum, typical school activities tend to be less than relevant for many of these …

The Reading Therapist And Parent Conference, Betty L. Hagberg
The Reading Therapist And Parent Conference, Betty L. Hagberg
Reading Horizons: A Journal of Literacy and Language Arts
Parent conferences are vital and can play a decisive role in the success of the remedial reading program. As the reading therapist confers with parents he has the opportunity to explain the nature of the corrective program and also the particular remediation being provided for their child. This encourages the parents to an understanding of both the program and the child's reading problem. The therapist also gains a better concept of the whole child, the emotional atmosphere of the family, and the total home environment as it relates to the child's reading problem. Ultimately and of greatest importance are the …

One of the most valid criticisms of traditional teacher training programs is the inability to place students in actual practice teaching situations at a time in their training when the experience would be most meaningful. Often the student takes a class in the methods of teaching reading in his sophomore or junior year and then does not make any application of this learning until the last part of his senior year when student teaching takes place. Even though many classes in education encourage visitation and observation, the experience is sporadic and incomplete.

But How Does It Sound?, Louis Foley
Reading Horizons: A Journal of Literacy and Language Arts
In preparing for an eventual business or professional career, there is one basically important area which appears to be largely overlooked. Educators everywhere are perennially concerned with methods or devices for improving the teaching of reading, which is generally accepted as the most useful of all "tools" for continued learning. Prominent people in business and industry emphasize the importance of "communication," which is usually understood to be in the form of writing. Little attention seems to be given, however, to the elemental skill without which reading and writing must rest on a weak foundation: the ability to speak well. Schools …

Training Developmental Reading Teachers-A Proposal, David J. Yarington
Training Developmental Reading Teachers-A Proposal, David J. Yarington
Reading Horizons: A Journal of Literacy and Language Arts
Many "how to study" courses, courses for training developmental reading teachers and books on the subject are merely inspirational and moralistic when they should be more realistic or relevant (a word that is becoming an irrelevant word) to the real world of school. Study habits and skills teach students to jump through hoops, most of which should not be there at all. Or, in other words, hoops which tend to stifle attitudes and negate their original purposes, i.e., standardized tests. One encounters the frustrations of either trying to change the entire system or teaching students how to beat the system. …

A Look At Linguistic Readers, Nicholas P. Criscuolo
Reading Horizons: A Journal of Literacy and Language Arts
Linguistics, as it relates to reading, has generated much interest lately among educators. Although linguistics is not a new science, its recent focus has captured the interest of the reading specialist because both the specialist and the linguist are concerned with language.
