Meeting The Reading Needs Of Children By Aiding The New Elementary Teacher, Margaret Millard
Meeting The Reading Needs Of Children By Aiding The New Elementary Teacher, Margaret Millard
Reading Horizons: A Journal of Literacy and Language Arts
The first day of school has come. Orientation days are over for the new teacher, and the children have arrived. Thirty or more little faces smile back at her when she says "good morning." It had all seemed fairly simple during the student teaching days, but suddenly there was no one to fall back on when things went wrong. The entire responsibility for the education of these children rested with her. True, she could ask questions of other teachers, but they seemed so busy. The principal has offered to help, but the opening days of school are hectic for him, …

At the Tenth Annual Convention of the International Reading Association the delegates adopted a "Buyer Be Wary" resolution. The entire April issue of The Reading Teacher was planned to "reaffirm this warning." Of special note is the lead article by Roma Gans entitled "Misspent Funds and the Consequences." We urge every school administrator and teacher to read the April 1967 issue of The Reading Teacher.

The Role Of The Reading Teacher In The Junior High School, Jennie Schneider
The Role Of The Reading Teacher In The Junior High School, Jennie Schneider
Reading Horizons: A Journal of Literacy and Language Arts
This paper has been written to set forth some of the functions of the reading teacher at the junior high level. There are many demands which such a teacher must meet. Some of these are of a predictable nature and can be dealt with in a prescribed manner. Other functions are more difficult to predetermine because much depends upon the students who are involved in the reading program. The size of the classes is intended to be very small, numbering not more than five students per class. It is expected that the students selected for participation in the reading program …
Bricks For Building The Self Concept Of The Disadvantaged Child, Gloria I. Dixon
Bricks For Building The Self Concept Of The Disadvantaged Child, Gloria I. Dixon
Reading Horizons: A Journal of Literacy and Language Arts
Poverty, unemployment, illiteracy, school dropouts, and the necessity for public welfare are not new social problems in our society. At the present time great national effort and much money are being spent to attack many social ills through antipoverty programs. These programs are receiving attention at this time because the increased industrialization and urbanization of today have widened the gap between our American ideals and practices. More people are aware of the resulting inequalities. And people are also aware that society has the power and ability to do something about it. Currently, one of the complex problems facing the United …

Another Look At Reading And The Teaching Of Reading, Melvin L. Miller
Another Look At Reading And The Teaching Of Reading, Melvin L. Miller
Reading Horizons: A Journal of Literacy and Language Arts
In recent years a continuous process of searching, experimenting, exploring, evaluating and revising has been pursued in an effort to achieve a better understanding of and performance in respect to reading instruction. This state of dissatisfaction with the teaching of reading and its achievements is appropriate. This is not because present day methods are inadequate and that present day achievements in reading are insufficient. Possible future developments suggest that our efforts should be even more adequate and the returns even greater; that is, a state of higher expectations in reading instruction should be maintained at all times. Perhaps these expectations …
Suggested Plan For Organizing And Carrying Out A School-Wide Study Skills Program, Ruth G. Viox
Suggested Plan For Organizing And Carrying Out A School-Wide Study Skills Program, Ruth G. Viox
Reading Horizons: A Journal of Literacy and Language Arts
Because instruction in study skills involves all teachers of all subjects at all grade levels, the teaching of these skills should be regarded as the responsibility of the entire faculty of a school. Research points out that many pupils do not transfer reading and study skills to their content subjects. Therefore, the subject matter teacher must work on these skills which are pertinent to his subject.! A program in a school which includes work on the needed study skills in the content subjects as well as in language arts and reading classes can result in raising the general academic level …
Raising Reading Rates In Foreign Languages, Julia Florence Sherbourne
Raising Reading Rates In Foreign Languages, Julia Florence Sherbourne
Reading Horizons: A Journal of Literacy and Language Arts
I have long been interested in applying rate-reading techniques to the reading of foreign languages. At one time a student who had made an excellent record in Reading Workshop brought her French books into the reading laboratory and succeeded in raising her French reading rate. But I had my first opportunity to apply these techniques to a group during our 1966 winter term. Although we were handicapped by a lack of material and by my own inexperience in working with languages other than English, results were encouraging.

A New Look At Longfellow's "Evangeline", Louis Foley
Reading Horizons: A Journal of Literacy and Language Arts
It seems a thoroughly safe opinion to believe that among French-speaking Canadians nothing in American literature has greater celebrity than Longfellow's Evangeline. In Canada it is doubtless considered unquestionably the poet's chef-d'oeuvre, the authentic and moving account of the tragedy of a people, the dispersion of the Acadians in 1755.

The majestic strains of Elgar's "Pomp and Circumstance" being played on a rented organ from the stage of the beautiful new high school floated down the school halls. The joy and happiness of the girls and boys busily stepping into their earned places in the grad uation procession were sobered only by the dignity of the blue caps and gowns to which they were feverishly giving last minute adjustment.

Personalizing The Development Of Initial Reading Vocabulary At The Campus School Western Michigan University, David W. Fraser, Ruth Bosma
Personalizing The Development Of Initial Reading Vocabulary At The Campus School Western Michigan University, David W. Fraser, Ruth Bosma
Reading Horizons: A Journal of Literacy and Language Arts
The Campus School at Western Michigan University recently has been experimenting with the Language-Master Machine as a means of developing initial reading vocabularies with children in the first grade. Realizing that the act of learning to read is unnecessarily complicated when the pupil is asked to deal with printed word symbols whose meaning and sound are foreign or uninteresting to him, the objective here is to identify a personalized reading vocabulary from the actual speaking vocabulary of each individual child. It is hypothesized that such a personalized vocabulary should be an even more effectual device for beginning reading instruction than …

Reading Horizons: A Journal of Literacy and Language Arts
Among people who speak the most careless English, certain kinds of mistakes unfailingly appear, whatever individual idiosyncrasies may accompany them. Almost always, errors of grammar are confusions between forms which have some relationship but should logically be kept distinct from each other. One of the commonest is the confusion between the simple past tense and the past participle of verbs. This can go either way; a person who makes the mistake in one direction is just as likely to do the opposite in another case. So anyone who says "I seen him," "He done it," "He come," or "He run," …
