The Quest For Competency In The Teaching Of Reading: A Librarian's Point Of View, Jean Lowrie
Reading Horizons: A Journal of Literacy and Language Arts
I would like to do three things: first, share with you a picture of libraries as they are now developing programs and planning for tomorrow's needs; present some specific examples of library services which relate to reading needs; finally, explore some examples of today's reading materials which I hope you as reading specialists either know about or with which you will become familiar, and which you and your clientele can obtain through library collections.
Four Strategies For Teaching Reading In Content Areas, R. Baird Shuman
Four Strategies For Teaching Reading In Content Areas, R. Baird Shuman
Reading Horizons: A Journal of Literacy and Language Arts
Despite all that has been written about the teaching of reading in the content areas, and despite the existence of books such as Herber's Teaching Reading in Content Areas (Englewood Cliffs, N. J.: Prentice Hall, 1970), Laffey's Reading in the Content Areas (Newark, Delaware: International Reading Association, 1972), and Robinson and Thomas' Fusing Reading Skills and Content (Newark, Delaware: International Reading Association, 1969), most secondary school teachers in the content areas still feel inadequate to teach reading and, even though they acknowledge the existence of a substantial reading program among their

Field Based Teacher Education Promise Or Problem, Mary Jane Gray
Field Based Teacher Education Promise Or Problem, Mary Jane Gray
Reading Horizons: A Journal of Literacy and Language Arts
One of the most widely advocated recommendations for improving the teaching of methods courses is to put them in an elementary school setting. This should help to ensure that practice is related to theory. Although this is very desirable some questions arise concerning the organization and implementation of such a program.

Reading Programs In The Secondary School: A Checklist For Evaluation, H.L. Narang
Reading Horizons: A Journal of Literacy and Language Arts
Reading is a fundamental skill necessary for success in school. (It is also important for preparation for college and for vocation). Every job whether in the home, school, office, factory or farm requires some type of reading. For an effective participation in a democratic society reading is all the more important for every citizen. Of course, even for pleasure and entertainment reading has certain unique advantages over other media because the reader is free from outside control or pressure, in terms of choosing his material, time and place to read. In short, competence in reading is essential for success and …
Evaluating Prospective Teachers Of Reading In Cbte, Richard Allington
Evaluating Prospective Teachers Of Reading In Cbte, Richard Allington
Reading Horizons: A Journal of Literacy and Language Arts
Competency based teacher education (CBTE) curricula are being considered or developed by at least half of the state education departments according to a survey by the American Association of Colleges for Teacher Education (Andrews, 1972).1 Coupled with this is the development of an increasing number of competency based reading methods courses and curricula. Those working on the development of these programs, quickly become aware of the problems encountered when attempting to combine theory and practice. Solving problems of identifying competencies, timebased curricula, grading, faculty teaching load, etc., at times seems overwhelming. However, a single issue in CBTE involves each area …

Making A Dent In The Content: Reading That Is, Elmer J. Cummings
Reading Horizons: A Journal of Literacy and Language Arts
In 1954 Rudolf Flesch wrote a book published by Harper and Brothers that caused an upheaval in homes and public schools throughout America. His book Why Johnny Can't Read is referred to as an angry book by an aroused parent. The conclusion drawn by Dr. Flesch as to why Johnny can't read is that "nobody ever showed him how" (Flesch, 1965, p. 2).
Using The Child's Oral Language In Beginning Reading Instruction, Alden J. Moe
Using The Child's Oral Language In Beginning Reading Instruction, Alden J. Moe
Reading Horizons: A Journal of Literacy and Language Arts
Reading should be considered a continuation of the language acquisition process and as such the early reading instruction, including pre-reading literary experiences, must build upon the language acquired in the pre-school years. As with oral language, in reading also, the child must discover the theory of his language and he must do so with relatively small amounts of data about his language. In the process of acquiring oral language in the pre-school years, the child must mimic, try out, and accept or reject his new information. In reading, the process is the same except that the learning may be structured …

Reading In The Secondary School: The Role Of The Reading Resource Person In High School, Kenneth Vandermeulen
Reading Horizons: A Journal of Literacy and Language Arts
It is almost a sure bet that when someone graduates from a college or university with a number of credit hours in the teaching of reading, the hiring institution will attempt to employ this person as a remedial reading instructor. It is secondly a sure bet that the personnel director will recommend this graduate to a principal who has been beset by complaints about reading problems in all the content area classes. And, according to the typical history, the teachers in that high school will refer to the new reading teacher those students who are deep in academic difficulties.

First-Aid For Troubled Readers, William S. O'Bruba
First-Aid For Troubled Readers, William S. O'Bruba
Reading Horizons: A Journal of Literacy and Language Arts
More children are experiencing difficulty in reading than in any other subject area in the elementary classroom. There are various degrees of a reading disability. A reading disability can range from a reader who is a grade or two below the level of his peers to a child who is a complete non-reader. In most cases, the concern of the elementary classroom teacher of reading is to see to it that the children are able to read well enough to perform the work of the specific class-level and to receive some enjoyment from their reading. If an ordinary classroom teacher …
Using Visual Highlighting To Teach Discriminations And Patterns, Richard Allington
Using Visual Highlighting To Teach Discriminations And Patterns, Richard Allington
Reading Horizons: A Journal of Literacy and Language Arts
Every day in classrooms throughout the country one can find children experiencing visual discrimination problems. One can also find a massive amount of teaching effort directed towards correcting those same problems, too often with limited success. Recent research has raised many questions about the usefulness of the most popular commercially available training materials (i.e. Frostig, Kephart, Michigan Tracking). However, research has also identified useful techniques that classroom teachers might employ.
Teach Them Reading While You Teach Them Spanish…Or French…Or Any Other Subject, Maria Luisa Alvarez Harvey
Teach Them Reading While You Teach Them Spanish…Or French…Or Any Other Subject, Maria Luisa Alvarez Harvey
Reading Horizons: A Journal of Literacy and Language Arts
Teachers in general are well aware of the appalling reading deficiencies that many students bring to the classroom. This is true at the elementary, the secondary, and the college level. (1) In many cases, however, teachers of subject matter tend to refuse to accept responsibility for helping students to overcome their reading problems. (3) Such an attitude is, of course, understandable, as the limited time that students spend in any particular class is barely sufficient to "teach" them the subject itself. The additional responsibility of teaching reading may seem to many educators not only an unfair imposition, but an impossible …
The Mythology Of Reading: I--Sight Words, Patrick Groff
The Mythology Of Reading: I--Sight Words, Patrick Groff
Reading Horizons: A Journal of Literacy and Language Arts
It is significant to note that the teaching of "sight" words was not one of the "persistent questions on beginning reading" which a carefully- selected group of experts recently chose to discuss (1). Indeed, from what one knows of this topic it would have been surprising to find the notion that young children should be first taught words as "wholes" being given critical examination in any such discussion. This is because the validity of instruction in "sight" words is accepted without question by almost all of today's experts in reading instruction.
Disruptive Effect: A Phenomenon In Oral Reading, John W. Miller
Disruptive Effect: A Phenomenon In Oral Reading, John W. Miller
Reading Horizons: A Journal of Literacy and Language Arts
The major purpose of the present study is to examine the effect that an unknown word has on the oral reading of second grade children. Specifically, the study is concerned with the possible increased probability of error on words that are in close proximity to an unknown word. Additionally, the study examines the degree of disruptiveness created by unknown words in different grammatical positions, and the degree of disruptiveness of various types of unknown words.

Many studies have been done comparing individualized and basal reading programs, but few have employed a valid attitude scale to evaluate attitudes toward reading at the primary level.
