Who Said Three Is A Crowd?, Dorothy L. Bladt, Joe Chapel, Sara R. Swickard
Who Said Three Is A Crowd?, Dorothy L. Bladt, Joe Chapel, Sara R. Swickard
Reading Horizons: A Journal of Literacy and Language Arts
The education of American children appears to be at crisis stage in the nation today. Turmoil and confusion about what to teach, to whom and where, reflect the general concerns of a society in the midst of a social and economic re-evaluation process. Voters are rejecting pleas to support a public school system which many feel is failing in its role as educator to all children. Perhaps nowhere else is the criticism felt so sharply as in the area of reading instruction. Because so many pupils leave the elementary school and even the senior high school with less than adequate …

Reading Horizons: A Journal of Literacy and Language Arts
Thus begins Poe's most famous poem, The Raven, which from its first publication in 1845 had an immediate and wide success such as no American poem had ever achieved. While the entire poem carries an air of inevitability-of the perfect wording that has to be as it is for my part I find none of it so unforgettable as those opening lines. Perhaps that may be simply because it is the beginning, but I hardly think so. Rather, for me it is a demonstration of how a rhythmical combination of harmonious words can charm us into belief in factitious imagery …

Teaching A Basic Sight Word Vocabulary, Marge Staten
Reading Horizons: A Journal of Literacy and Language Arts
In diagnosing reading ability, the analysis should include an investigation of the subject's knowledge of basic words commonly familiar in most children's oral-aural vocabulary. Likewise, any beginning reading instruction program should include some help in learning commonly used words, since these compose a large part of the vocabulary of many reading series and other printed material.

Reading Horizons: A Journal of Literacy and Language Arts
Many texts and articles discussing the matter of teaching reading on the secondary level recommend the establishment of reading programs which involve all members of the high school staff. Frequently, authors of such works on originating and developing reading programs will go into great detail about the ways in which committees may be given areas of concern, methods of self-evaluation, and each step to be achieved. Each stage of progress will be named and described with fine elaboration.

"A job for everyone and everyone with a job." If each child in your classroom is to work up to his full potential, this adage applies to the students in your classroom and to anyone who offers you volunteer help, the same way it applies to efficiency in business.

Two Effective In-Service Reading Programs, Nicholas P. Criscuolo
Reading Horizons: A Journal of Literacy and Language Arts
In-service opportunities are given to secondary teachers in the New Haven public schools twice a month. On alternate Mondays students are released at 1 p.m., and teachers remain at their schools for in-service work. Such flexibility in scheduling permits the development of effective in-service education, and it is the purpose of this article to describe two programs in reading conducted recently in New Haven: one at the high school level and another at the middle school level.

More Important Than Class Size, Mary E. Sensabaugh
Reading Horizons: A Journal of Literacy and Language Arts
On the front of a handout by our principal, I found these words in bold black print, "MORE IMPORTANT THAN CLASS SIZE." Immediately, I wondered what could possibly be more important than class size. Reading on I found that new research, concerned with the quality of our education system, had just been completed by Martin N. Olson, Executive Secretary of the Associated Public Schools Systems and a research associate with the Institute of Administrative Research (IAR). This one short article started me on a search for a copy of his study.

Reading Horizons: A Journal of Literacy and Language Arts
Recently, a report of an accrediting inspection team in Illinois contained this ironic statement (adapted here) : Teachers in this high school tend to be so highly specialized in their disciplines that they have moved from the affective domain to the cognitive domain almost exclusively, thereby vitiating their educational endeavors. This article sees the establishment of habits of reading for pleasure as a means of avoiding such criticism of our schools, and as a direct means of building upon an elusive quality called creativity.

A remarkable French book which deals comprehensively with the different aspects of reading is La Lisibilite by Frangois Richaudeau, published in Paris by Denoel-Gontier in 1969. The title of this book immediately brings up a common problem in translation. Every serious student of language knows that very frequently the corresponding or supposedly equivalent words in different languages do not have quite the same meaning. While they may have considerable basic relationship, one may cover more or less ground than the other, and they do not come to the idea from the same angle of approach.
