In Memoriam, J.F.K., Charles Allen Smith

Reading Horizons: A Journal of Literacy and Language Arts

Two thousand years ago a man who called himself Koheleth said in the book of Ecclesiastes: "To everything there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven." What happened in Dallas this afternoon makes it impossible for us to go about our business in the ordinary way.


Some Observations Of Perceptually Impaired Children In Two Approaches To Reading, Joan Chapman Jan 1964

Some Observations Of Perceptually Impaired Children In Two Approaches To Reading, Joan Chapman

Reading Horizons: A Journal of Literacy and Language Arts

Reading is one problem facing children having perceptual lags in their development. Some children may reveal clinical evidence of brain injury while others merely show uneven developmental patterns on psychological tests. These children cannot respond to the usual methods of instruction presented during their early school experiences. The regular educational materials and methods are inappropriate for them and must be adapted to meet more primitive learning needs.


A Study Of Learning Utilizing Visual-Visual And Visual-Auditory Stimuli, Alice Ann Geiger Jan 1964

A Study Of Learning Utilizing Visual-Visual And Visual-Auditory Stimuli, Alice Ann Geiger

Reading Horizons: A Journal of Literacy and Language Arts

In a fast moving world, reading ability becomes increasingly more important. Despite television, radio, and movies, reading is still the most important method of broadening our horizons (5, p. 125). To scan the world events and study the particulars requires good reading skills. Again and again the question is asked if the best possible method of reading instruction is being utilized with our boys and girls (1, p. 79 and 4, pp. 169-170). For that matter, we might ask if we adults are making the most of our ability to identify, interpret, and evaluate facts, so that we can intelligently …

An Individualized Reading Program In The Elementary Classroom, Janet Langerveld Oct 1963

An Individualized Reading Program In The Elementary Classroom, Janet Langerveld

Reading Horizons: A Journal of Literacy and Language Arts

Not long ago after reading many articles dealing with an individualized approach to reading, the writer was challenged to attempt this "new method" with a selected group of students. These children were to be given an opportunity to select their own materials for their instruction and to participate in individual conferences with the teach er. This paper is a brief account of the writer's experience.

Developing Creativity In Reading, Myrtie M. Barnhardt Oct 1963

Developing Creativity In Reading, Myrtie M. Barnhardt

Reading Horizons: A Journal of Literacy and Language Arts

Have you ever heard a teacher make the remark, "I just can't teach my children to be creative?" It makes one wonder just what that teacher means by "being creative." Is creativity taught in a certain pattern step by step? Applegate in her book, Helping Children Write, says, "Creativity cannot be taught. It can only be released and guided by a competent teacher." (1) It is often difficult for children to reveal what is on the inside, for they have been disappointed by adults too often when they have exposed their feelings to them. One of the important facts that …

Beyond Technique, Alice J. Perejda

Some time ago a professor in the field of guidance called me in regard to his little boy, who had a reading problem. After inquiring cautiously as to my qualifications and background, he asked, "What measurable degree of progress will you guarantee in six weeks?"

Reading In The Ungraded School, Gordon F. Evans Jul 1963

Reading In The Ungraded School, Gordon F. Evans

Reading Horizons: A Journal of Literacy and Language Arts

Let us take a look with Goodlad and Anderson (4) at a typical classroom of two or three decades ago. The students were seated by unwritten law—the first graders by the windows, the eighth graders on the other side of the room by the blackboard, and the rest in between according to grade. Our attention is drawn at once to a seat near the window where Ernie is trying to fit himself into a much-too-small seat, long -lanky legs, of necessity, in the aisle. The pale face under the shock of carrot-red hair makes Ernie look as though he might …

The Past And Future Of The Psycho-Educational Clinic At Western Michigan University, Homer L.J. Carter Jul 1963

The Past And Future Of The Psycho-Educational Clinic At Western Michigan University, Homer L.J. Carter

Reading Horizons: A Journal of Literacy and Language Arts

The scientific movement in education was well under way when Witmer established the Psychological Clinic at the University of Pennsylvania and began his work with children showing evidence of educational maladjustment. It is fortunate for mankind that Witmer had the versatility to set aside his laboratory experimentation in order to help a classroom teacher overcome a spelling difficulty of one of her pupils. The scientific movement in education had produced the first Psycho-Educational Clinic. New concepts were introduced into the theory and practice of education. These were precise observation, accurate description, and tested generalizations. These additions made educational changes possible …

An Open Letter To All Students: Why Read?, Dorothy Edna Smith Apr 1963

An Open Letter To All Students: Why Read?, Dorothy Edna Smith

Reading Horizons: A Journal of Literacy and Language Arts

A few years ago Morris Bishop (1) wrote a fantastic and fascinating tale about a professor who invented a reading machine. This machine would read everything that was fed into it, making it unnecessary for anyone to go through the tedium of reading for himself. This invention seemed as sensible to the professor as the computers are that solve complicated mathematical problems for scientists. There was a slight flaw in his reasoning, of course and that was, what would anyone do with the results of the reading machine's labors? Read them?

Focus On The Learner, Sara R. Swickard

Reading Horizons: A Journal of Literacy and Language Arts

There is perhaps no area of human experience that has as many "authorities" as are involved in the continual controversy concerning the teaching of reading. These "authorities" range from nuclear scientists to almost any layman who has achieved fourth grade proficiency in reading. This search for the answer may prove to be the greatest deterrent to a vibrant, zestful program involving the honest quest of children.

Developing Elementary Science Concepts By An Individualized Approach, Blanche O. Bush, Louis A. Govatos Jan 1963

Developing Elementary Science Concepts By An Individualized Approach, Blanche O. Bush, Louis A. Govatos

Reading Horizons: A Journal of Literacy and Language Arts

In developing a concept of the universe at the elementary level many learning aids are utilized. Visual presentations, direct observations, experimentations and critical reading accompanied by discussions serve to enhance a child's understanding of a concept. Moreover, it is apparent that all elementary school children do not arrive at the same level of understanding of scientific phenomena. There are many children who do not respond effectively to experimentation and critical reading and thus must rely on direct observations and visual presentation in arriving at a lower level of conceptual development. Other children who are more sophisticated may understand the orderliness …
