A Good Teacher And An Eclectic Approach: The Hopeful Answer To Successful Reading Instruction, Maria Luisa Alvarez Harvey
A Good Teacher And An Eclectic Approach: The Hopeful Answer To Successful Reading Instruction, Maria Luisa Alvarez Harvey
Reading Horizons: A Journal of Literacy and Language Arts
The sinking feeling that "Johnny can't read" has developed from an unpleasant suspicion to an ugly reality of alarming dimensions and implications. Not only are our methods of reading instruction under scrutiny and attack, but so are our teachers themselves and, to some extent, so is our entire system of American education as it now firmly and shakily stands.

Elementary perhaps, but during a 1967-69 compensatory program designed to increase communication skills for post-secondary but not fully qualified college students on a southern black university campus, we figured that to learn was to attend-in both a mental and a physical sense.

There are few educators throughout the United States who currently are unaware of the many possible advantages of using competency- based instruction. Competency-based education certainly is one of the most widely-known and potentially promising innovations on the recent educational scene.

Teaching Reading: The Science And The Art, John C. Manning
Reading Horizons: A Journal of Literacy and Language Arts
For some time I have been thinking of this august occasion and of its topic, Teaching Reading: The Science and the Art. And at a recent convention while listening to a brilliant monologist and teacher, I there wished that I could have changed the title of my speech to "Look, look. Come, come. See Charlotte's Web." I think that title brings the concepts of teaching reading as a science and an art to the realities of classrooms, some very human teachers, and some little children who may very well need to appreciate and recognize the simplicity of "look, look" before …

Reading Horizons: A Journal of Literacy and Language Arts
Recently, a distinguished literary critic, speaking of the "rotten writer," said that such a person is convinced that all rules of grammar are obsolete, "now that the split infinitive has earned acceptance." 1 It is not altogether clear whether the latter part of that statement is merely intended to represent the opinion of the "rotten writer" or whether the critic himself accepts it as a foregone conclusion. In either case the wording is rather captious and unrealistic. How can the split infinitive be said to have "earned acceptance"? It has no earning power. It is not an active entity in …

Did You See Learning To Listen and Read Through Movement by James H. Humphrey? It presents a unique and interesting way for children to practice and maintain comprehension skills. The procedure presented suggests working through enjoyable physical movement activities-games, stunts, and rhythms-to develop comprehension skills, first in listening and then in reading. It is published by Kimbo Educational, P.O. Box 246, Deal, New Jersey 07723. The copyright date is 1974.

Reading Horizons: A Journal of Literacy and Language Arts
If a high school should do anything, it should help students to think clearly, communicate effectively, and understand themselves with some degree of maturity. Language is that "yellow brick road" to those goals. It is the means of understanding one another, it is the single basic tool of thought. Obviously, students who are not able to understand more than basic English will have to think and communicate under a severe handicap, which in tum must have adverse effects on self-concept. Students coming out of high schools are proving less and less capable of reading the materials they must understand in …

Secondary teachers of vocational subjects frequently have to face the burdensome task of choosing the right text for their courses, but they would not and should not delegate the responsibility to other offices or agencies. In having to deal with choice of texts, teachers feel several factors are operating against the chances of finding the right textbook. Sometimes they express a certain frustration, saying, "As if it is not enough responsibility to try to prepare young people for a role in a technical area, we even have some evidence that students whose verbal backgrounds are poor are advised to take …

Participating elementary students were chosen by their classroom teachers. Seventh and eighth graders were selected by the junior high reading teacher. All of the students involved participated by choice, and none were required to be a part of the program. It was interesting to observe that in a very short period of time tutoring became a status symbol in the junior high, and several students went so far as to feign reading problems in order to be eligible for the tutoring project.
