Just Who Is The "Mistaken Purist"?, Louis Foley

Reading Horizons: A Journal of Literacy and Language Arts

Not long ago a reviewer of Wilson Follett's Modern American Usage quoted from that book as a sample of its "good advice" a declaration concerning adverbs. "The belief that adverbs should end in -ly is hard to down in the mistaken purist, and one often meets the tone of reprobation about the short forms. A newspaper will comment quizzically on the public authorities that have given outright approval to road-signs like 'Drive Slow.' "

The Role Of The Home In Promoting Reading, Joseph B. Tremonti

Reading Horizons: A Journal of Literacy and Language Arts

The first teacher of a child, for better or worse, is the parent or parents. Morally and legally, the responsibility rests entirely and completely upon their shoulders. The parents can be guided and counseled, but in the final analysis they must be prepared to take the credit for success or the blame for failure.

The Phonics Quagmire, Bruce A. Lloyd

Reading Horizons: A Journal of Literacy and Language Arts

The quicksand of confrontation in phonics methodology has been the either-or dichotomy exemplified by the nature-nurture controversy of yesteryear. The proponents of heredity as the prime dictator of human growth and development had well-polished arguments for their position and so did those who believed in the preeminence of environmental factors. In the phonics controversy the oversimplification of viewpoint was equally clear-cut. Either we teach phonics as synthesis or we teach phonics as analysis, but we cannot do both. However, modern phonics instructional theory and practice indicates that perceptive teachers are taking both handles and doing just that up to a …

The Cluster Plan For Reading In-Service Work, Nicholas P. Criscuolo

Reading Horizons: A Journal of Literacy and Language Arts

School systems are constantly seeking ways to offer practical and effective in-service reading programs for their teachers. One plan that has been working in the New Haven public school system is the Cluster Plan. This plan is used for staff development and involves taking a small cluster of three or four schools with similar problems and offering practical in-service programs on a released-time basis.

Stauffer, Russell G. "Directing Reading Maturity as a Cognitive Process." 1969

Echoes From The Field, Joe R. Chapel, Ronald A. Crowell

Reading Horizons: A Journal of Literacy and Language Arts

During the past decade research in reading has proliferated. An awareness of the complexity of the problems involved in the teaching of reading has resulted in a tremendous growth in the size of projects through the United States Office of Education, and in greater participation of several disciplines in individual projects, and by the emergence of such new sciences as psycho-linguistics and socio-linguistics. From fiscal year 1957 through 1968, the U. S. Office of Education's Bureau of Research has supported almost 200 reading research projects, for which over ten million dollars have been obligated.

Discriminating Readers Are Critical Thinkers, Patricia J. Cianciolo

Reading Horizons: A Journal of Literacy and Language Arts

Critical thinking is usually described as a part of problem solving and of creative thinking. Critical thinking usually implies appraisal in terms of some standard or value. And, according to the reports of research conducted at the University of Buffalo in their Creative Education Foundation, as one gains facility in critical thinking skills there also occur significant gains in personality traits such as confidence, self-reliance, persuasiveness, initiative, and leadership potential.

Emergency Teaching, Ronald Sharp

Reading Horizons: A Journal of Literacy and Language Arts

Ken Macrorie has for years been campaigning for the prohibition of instructors' "blood in the margins" of their students' freshman themes.! His admonition that marking all the weak points can easily discourage a student came immediately to mind when I was reading my first set of freshman papers this fall. One paper was so marred with fundamental stylistic errors that had I bloodied it with chicken scratches the paper would have been almost completely red. There would have been at least fifty marks and the paper totalled only about 500 words.
