A Preliminary Study In Programming Reading For The Mentally Retarded Learner, Chris Koronakos Oct 1962

A Preliminary Study In Programming Reading For The Mentally Retarded Learner, Chris Koronakos

Reading Horizons: A Journal of Literacy and Language Arts

Teaching reading to the mentally retarded assumes a major portion of an institution's educational facilities and personnel. The considerable amount of time and effort that are devoted to this one aspect of the child's training reflect the vital character that reading instruction has for his occupational and psychological adjustment. Any increase in our knowledge of the factors and methods that play a role in the teaching process is desirable and much needed.


Working With Reading Problems In Norway, Alf Preus Oct 1962

Working With Reading Problems In Norway, Alf Preus

Reading Horizons: A Journal of Literacy and Language Arts

Some years ago, in the initial interview with a young adult Norwegian non-reader, I got the following amazing and thought provoking information: "You know, I tried to get away from the problem by going to sea. Boy, did I feel lonesome out there. I was not able to read the few letters my parents wrote me, and asking one of the other guys to read them to me would make him know about my problem. I tried to write my mother a letter one day, but I gave it up and threw it in the ocean. And there were lots …


Toward Horizons Of Reading In The Aerospace Age, Barbara F. Edwards Jul 1962

Toward Horizons Of Reading In The Aerospace Age, Barbara F. Edwards

Reading Horizons: A Journal of Literacy and Language Arts

Milieu. We live in an age when reading is a subject of concern to the man on the street as well as to the scholar. The "This Week" section of recent Sunday newspapers serves as only one indication of the public interest in our subject. We live also in a time when scientific reasoning by a staff or team of administrators, teachers, and researchers is not only possible, but encouraged. We live at a time when the factors of group dynamics and individual counseling (6) are being considered as important elements in learning processes. In these things, all of us …

Child Development And Language Arts At Aquinas College, M. Bernetta Jul 1962

Child Development And Language Arts At Aquinas College, M. Bernetta

Reading Horizons: A Journal of Literacy and Language Arts

Effective teaching of reading is a complex job that looks deceptively simple to the casual reader, or even to the University professor who has limited experience in teaching young children. The teaching of reading is over-simplified by the writers for most popular journals. On the other hand, the teaching of reading or being the best reader possible has some analogy to pursuing perfection, we are always only on the way, never at the peak of perfection. Each new insight into the reading process opens up vaster uncharted vistas and seas of wisdom, both as to the art of reading and …


The Teaching Of Reading In The United States, Blanche O. Bush Jul 1962

The Teaching Of Reading In The United States, Blanche O. Bush

Reading Horizons: A Journal of Literacy and Language Arts

The history of the teaching of reading in the United States is directly related to the background influences of the period. The changing institutions, religious, political and economic, are reflected in the aims, materials and procedures of reading in each era. In this paper the history of the teaching of reading has been traced from the early colonial period to the present time.

Developing Mental Content Through Creative Activities, Martha Barrett Newell Apr 1962

Developing Mental Content Through Creative Activities, Martha Barrett Newell

Reading Horizons: A Journal of Literacy and Language Arts

Each of us seeks the approval of our peers, and this is a natural desire of children, too. But, as adults we seem to have forgotten the warmth of response to the fact that "I made it myself." There is magic in creation, and a very special kind of magic to the child who senses that he is indeed part of what he produces. Everything, from the molded handprint of the earnest kindergartener (Do you not still have one of these pieces of loveliness . . .?) to the finished mural of the high school student, has in it a …


The Role Of The School Psychologist In The Teaching Of Reading, Ruth C. Penty Apr 1962

The Role Of The School Psychologist In The Teaching Of Reading, Ruth C. Penty

Reading Horizons: A Journal of Literacy and Language Arts

The school psychologist or psychological examiner without specific training in the reading area can help the teacher of reading to better understand her task. The psychologist or examiner with background in the teaching of reading can be of even more help to the classroom teacher.

The major concern of this paper is the problem of the retarded readers. They are children whose reading achievement is less than their general measured ability.


Mental Content And Its Relationship To Flexibility Of Reading, Homer L.J. Carter, Dorothy J. Mcginnis Jan 1962

Mental Content And Its Relationship To Flexibility Of Reading, Homer L.J. Carter, Dorothy J. Mcginnis

Reading Horizons: A Journal of Literacy and Language Arts

If reading performance is to vary as to kind and degree and especially if rate of reading and the newer media of instruction are to be stressed, a greater emphasis must be placed upon mental content and its relationship to the reading process. For example, in the sentence "The whipple-tree and traces were seriously damaged," little meaning can be secured without adequate mental content. An increased span of perception provides limited help. Contextual clues are of little value. Structural analysis furnishes little aid, and a rapid rate of reading complicates the whole attempt to secure understanding. There must be mental …

Why Can't Johnny Read Better?, Kristen D. Juul Oct 1961

Why Can't Johnny Read Better?, Kristen D. Juul

Reading Horizons: A Journal of Literacy and Language Arts

During recent years there has been considerable concern among the public with regard to the reading ability of school children. A great deal of unreasonable and some justified criticism has been leveled against the public schools for their purported inability to teach children to read well. Simple causes and simple solutions have been offered. Actually the problem is an exceedingly complex one, and the more we learn about factors related to reading retardation, the more we are becoming conscious of how little we know.

Provocative Reading Experiences, Emeline J. Mccowen Oct 1961

Provocative Reading Experiences, Emeline J. Mccowen

Reading Horizons: A Journal of Literacy and Language Arts

We are well aware of the complexities we face today in teaching our children to be able readers. It is a much bigger problem than to be able to verbalize words phonetically. Experts in the field of research in psychology, child development, and reading have contributed a great deal of valuable knowledge to aid teachers in the skill of teaching children to read. These ideas are being successfully practiced and we are producing capable readers. However, there is one phase of reading that needs greater stress. To derive the greatest benefit from living in our democracy and to cope with …
