Did You See "IRA Reports on The Right To Read Effort"? This special report on the National Right to Read effort was published in May, 1973, for IRA members and others interested in this important program. The Right To Read effort was established in 1970 by the late Dr. James E. Allen, Jr., who was then U.S. Com missioner of Education. The program was designed as a coordinated endeavor to work toward one common goal—to ensure that by 1980 ninety-nine percent of all people under 16 years of age in the U.S. and ninety percent of all those over 16 …

A new program, Let's Read, began operating at Western Michigan University in 1972. No sooner had it started than it won an award for creative programs from the Adult Education Association of Michigan. Let's Read is based upon the idea that mothers, even poor and uneducated mothers, can learn how to provide intellectual stimulation for their young children.
The Play's The Thing: A Dramatic Approach To Reading, Harvey Frommer
The Play's The Thing: A Dramatic Approach To Reading, Harvey Frommer
Reading Horizons: A Journal of Literacy and Language Arts
Too often educators and students alike content themselves with the more convenient aspects of reading drama: analysis of thought, dissection of structure and plot, information about a playwright's life and times, discussion of characterization, performance of segments of a play. Language—sometimes soaring, sometimes vulgar, poignant, distressing, philosophical, or witty—gets short shrift in this type of drama study.

Reading In The Secondary School: 'Carbon Dating' Figures Of Speech, Kenneth Vandermeulen
Reading In The Secondary School: 'Carbon Dating' Figures Of Speech, Kenneth Vandermeulen
Reading Horizons: A Journal of Literacy and Language Arts
Teachers usually find that students become enthusiastic and energetic when they are discovering new things for themselves. This article points up some possibilities in teaching students to become "detectives," investigating the age and origin of words and phrases used in American simile and metaphor. An end result is sure to be a heightened feeling for literary style, with an increased appreciation for creative writing a possible "spinoff." Students may also gain a clearer picture of the cultural settings from which these figures of speech are derived.

Ten Years Of Research On Corrective Reading Programs: A Review Of The Literature, Sharon L. Smith
Ten Years Of Research On Corrective Reading Programs: A Review Of The Literature, Sharon L. Smith
Reading Horizons: A Journal of Literacy and Language Arts
The purpose of this paper is to survey the research of the past ten years on corrective or remedial reading programs. In the literature, various definitions are given to corrective reading and remedial reading programs, but in this paper no distinction will be made between the two terms. Both terms refer to a plan of corrective instruction and treatment for the disabled reader, generally outside of the regular classroom setting.

In the following paragraphs are listed a number of ideas for bringing attention to reading in the school. As the admen say, if you have their attention, half the battle is won. This article is directed to the typical teacher of reading in a school where not enough such attention is being paid to the cause of reading improvement. Our conviction is that the teacher of reading cannot accomplish much by working with a few students at a time in developmental or corrective reading. Our suggestions are meant to encourage the one or two members of the faculty who are …

Reading Horizons: A Journal of Literacy and Language Arts
"Anyone can read" is the attitude of some people, even people who should know better. The fallacy of such an attitude is realized with the following analogy. Aristotle is known to have said, "One learns to be a good flute player by playing the flute. One also learns to be a poor flute player by playing the flute." In the same way, one learns to be a good or poor reader by reading.

The need for a multi-disciplined approach to the diagnosis and treatment of the disabled learner has been given lip service for many years by various departments on university campuses. The first multi-clinic team put this dream into reality at Western Michigan University in the spring of 1972. Subsequently there have been five multi-clinic cases.

The Badness Of Bad Words, Louis Foley
The Badness Of Bad Words, Louis Foley
Reading Horizons: A Journal of Literacy and Language Arts
Everybody knows-and feels as if he had always known-all the common "bad" words. We all know them because they have been very effectively taught. The things that we remember from our earliest years are the things connected with emotional experiences. The bad words make unforgettable first impressions, not only because typically they are uttered very distinctly and emphatically but because they are outbursts of strong feeling. Also from the beginning they are likely to be associated with startling incidents or confrontation with unpleasant people that would shock us anyhow. So they stick firmly in our memory, whether or not we …
