Reading Horizons: A Journal of Literacy and Language Arts
Billy's mother is coming in this afternoon to talk to me about his reading problems. She called on the phone and wants to help. What will I tell her? Will she expect to go home with an armload of books and materials and feel that the problem is well on the way to being solved? Since there is, for many reasons, as much variation in parents and home situations as there is in reading disabilities this is not an easy question to answer. There are no "pat" answers for all parents of disabled readers any more than there is one …

Alert, vivacious Jocelyn with eyes flashing rushed into the first grade classroom. Her whole demeanor cried out for attention and when she entered the scene all things came to life. Her contributions during science class made the others sit up and take notice. Language classes held more spice when Jocelyn was present, and even the puppet show appeared more enticing. "Listen to ME" seemed to be the message conveyed by her alert eyes and even without saying it she captured her audience so that they sat spellbound. From all outward appearances, she was a well adjusted, stimulating, and intelligent learner—only …
The Therapist's Approach To The Study Of The Disabled Reader, An Allopathic Concept, Homer L.J. Carter
The Therapist's Approach To The Study Of The Disabled Reader, An Allopathic Concept, Homer L.J. Carter
Reading Horizons: A Journal of Literacy and Language Arts
Many disabled readers do not respond to instruction by the classroom teacher. Approximately three per cent of the school population requires detailed diagnosis and treatment, generally implemented by the reading clinician and his team. These emergency cases necessitate allopathic treatment which is carried out by the reading therapist. In this paper the writer contrasts homeopathic and allopathic remediation and illustrates the latter in its application to a disabled reader. A rigorous system of diagnosis and treatment is recommended.

Did You See "Are We Really Preparing Reading Specialists?" This direct and challenging article by Richard W. O'Donnell questions the preparation of corrective and remedial reading specialists. He points out an area in which reading teachers' competencies must be improved and suggests a basic bibliography of literature and materials which would assist them. This article appears in the May 1971 issue of The Journal of the Reading Specialist.

One of the more fascinating aspects of pre-school children's verbal language seems to be their uncanny ability to speak in complete sentences. From the time children put two words together meaning fully, they speak in sentences. By the time they arrive in first grade they use simple, compound, and complex sentences. Children can also supply nouns for subjects, verbs for predicates, nouns for objects, and the like.

During the past school year, the writer mailed letters to principals of over two hundred high schools in Michigan, asking questions which pertained to teaching reading on the secondary level. We wanted to learn, first, whether administrators were concerned about reading problems on the junior high and high school levels; and second, we wanted to find out how much information in the field of reading was readily accessible to teachers of secondary classes.

It has been said that non-readers are the greatest problem in American education. It is also true that these same non-readers continue to be problems as they take their place in the mainstream of American life. The schools are doing much to remedy these problems, but the home must also cooperate in this project. With the cooperation of home and school these problems can, in a large measure, be prevented. This author proposes to set down some guidelines for parents who are interested in starting their child on the road to successful reading experiences.

Uniting Efforts In Effective Reading Remediation, Betty L. Hagberg
Reading Horizons: A Journal of Literacy and Language Arts
Nearly every classroom contains some children who have not responded well to a developmental reading program and need remedial help from the reading specialist. These students have not achieved up to their full potential for a variety of reasons, and unless they receive remedial instruction the gap between achievement and potential will grow wider. The reading therapist is faced with the primary responsibility of providing the student's remedial work. However, it is not his task alone as the classroom teacher shares in this obligation. The child spends most of his time in the regular classroom and only a few short …

My freshman class rejoices. It is our first meeting and I do not ask the apprehensive matriculants to write the traditional autobiographical essay to probe their linguistic and literary aptitudes. Before dismissing the class, I assign a reading-"My Wood" by E. M. Forster-for the next meeting.

If the gap between technological enterprise and the development of humane individuals is to be overcome, then programs adjusted to the unique characteristics of individual readers need to be promoted. As Earl Kelley has averred, the primary goal of education must be the production of increasing uniqueness. Idiosyncratic learning patterns are revealed through diagnostic teaching and the self-analysis on the part of the student. Correlative adjustment of instruction according to student needs may ensue as a cooperative enterprise of student and teacher. Both parties to this contractual process are learning about themselves and about techniques that succeed or fail.
