Reading Horizons: A Journal of Literacy and Language Arts

Nine years ago a group of interested students of reading formed the Western Michigan University Chapter of the International Reading Association.

Reading Horizons: A Journal of Literacy and Language Arts

In every classroom there are pupils who fail to make satisfactory progress in their language development. Some youngsters do poorly in reading while others are unable to spell or write effectively.

Misseldine (18) studied the emotional background of thirty children with reading disabilities and concluded that practically all of the children tested were "insecure," "restless," and "emotionally ill."

The Juvenile On Probation And Reading Retardation, W. William Blackmore Jan 1960
