Celebrate Poetry Through Creative Drama, Kathy Everts Danielson, Susan Crites Dauer Dec 1990

Celebrate Poetry Through Creative Drama, Kathy Everts Danielson, Susan Crites Dauer

Reading Horizons: A Journal of Literacy and Language Arts

Creative drama and poetry are often neglected, yet they are important aspects of a holistic approach to the language arts. Drama encourages children to use language for meaningful purposes by actively involving them and motivating them to read, write, listen, and speak. Poetry exposes children to expressive and descriptive language used in many creative forms. Poetry also involves children and motivates them to read and write poetry of their own.

What Kids Taught Us About Reading Instruction: Two Professors Return To The Classroom, Robert C. Cooter Jr., D. Ray Reutzel Dec 1990

What Kids Taught Us About Reading Instruction: Two Professors Return To The Classroom, Robert C. Cooter Jr., D. Ray Reutzel

Reading Horizons: A Journal of Literacy and Language Arts

Two years ago we left the insulated environment of the university setting to return to the chaos and excitement of full time teaching in two first-grade classrooms. Our colleagues wondered why we felt this need, and the teachers in the schools where we were going were pleased, but skeptical, about our abilities to cope with the tumult of classroom teaching again. We often asked ourselves why were we embarking upon this bold, new adventure. After some contemplation of the question, we decided there were at least four good reasons for returning. First, we believed that we, like many professors, would …

The Role Of Modeling In Teacher Education Programs, Davida R. Schuman, Juliette Relihan Dec 1990

The Role Of Modeling In Teacher Education Programs, Davida R. Schuman, Juliette Relihan

Reading Horizons: A Journal of Literacy and Language Arts

Teacher education has come under scrutiny in the recent past because teacher educators are recognizing a gap between what they have traditionally taught in their classrooms, and what new teachers are doing in theirs. Somehow the messages about the effective ways to teach have not been getting through. The solution to the problems seems fairly simple. If beginning teachers are to be effective, they must have a model of the various instructional techniques which can be implemented. Teacher educators, then, must model these techniques in their education courses. In this way, the message clearly comes through, that what is modeled …

Transitions In Reading Instruction: Handling Contradictions In Beliefs And Practice, Maureen Siera, Martha Combs Dec 1990

Transitions In Reading Instruction: Handling Contradictions In Beliefs And Practice, Maureen Siera, Martha Combs

Reading Horizons: A Journal of Literacy and Language Arts

Reconciling whole language philosophy with traditional classroom reading instruction requires redefining beliefs about reading processes that, for most of us, are deeply embedded in years of basal reading instruction. Such re defining has the potential of creating conflicts between curricular beliefs and instructional practices. Whole language and basal skills instruction, according to Goodman (1989), are contradictory and incompatible practices. In contrast, Hemysfeld (1989) suggests that it is appropriate to combine the best aspects of skills instruction and whole language into one approach. While contradictions may exist initially, perhaps such contradictions will resolve themselves as educators redefine professional beliefs.

Aspects Of A Caring Reading Curriculum, Timothy V. Rasinski Dec 1990

Aspects Of A Caring Reading Curriculum, Timothy V. Rasinski

Reading Horizons: A Journal of Literacy and Language Arts

Education in America has traditionally maintained two basic mandates: one academic, the other social (Commis sion on the Reorganization of Secondary Schools, 1918; Levine and Haselkorn, 1984; Wynne and Walberg, 1985). The first mandate is the education of the young in academic skills that will enable them to lead productive lives. Reading, obviously, is one academic area that schools teach in order to fulfill this responsibility.

Modeling An Expository Text Structure Strategy In Think Alouds, Christine J. Gordon Dec 1990

Modeling An Expository Text Structure Strategy In Think Alouds, Christine J. Gordon

Reading Horizons: A Journal of Literacy and Language Arts

Several current notions used in combination can contribute to better teaching of comprehension of expository text. These include knowledge of text structure, strategic reading, and the think-aloud procedure. Knowledge of text structure is knowledge of the author's underlying organization of the ideas presented. The think-aloud procedure is suggested as the vehicle by which to demonstrate a strategic readers' use of text structure knowledge while reading. It's a "talk-as-you go" or "talk-as-you read" procedure. Strategies are defined as systematic plans that readers can use flexibly, adapting them to particular reading situations or contexts (Duffy and Roehler, 1987). Strategies are thus generalizable …

Adopting A Whole Language Program For Learning Disabled Students: A Case Study, Pamela J. Farris, Carol Anderson Oct 1990

Adopting A Whole Language Program For Learning Disabled Students: A Case Study, Pamela J. Farris, Carol Anderson

Reading Horizons: A Journal of Literacy and Language Arts

The study of how children learn has moved from examining the accumulation of isolated pieces of knowledge to the current research position that it is appropriate to study children's acquisition of complex subject matter and development of learning strategies. Resnick and Klopfer (1989) believe that "[k]nowledge is acquired not from information communicated and memorized but from information that students elaborate, question, and use." As researchers become concerned with how students develop and utilize learning strategies, Resnick (Brandt, 1989) warns that "strategies will not be effective unless there is also attention to self-monitoring and motivation."

Reading Horizons: A Journal of Literacy and Language Arts

Among the presentations at the annual convention of the International Reading Association, held in Atlanta in May, was a session titled "Teachers, Students, and Literacy Instruction: Profiles in Learning." The two session leaders, Robert B. Ruddell, from the University of California at Berkeley, and Martha Rapp-Haggard Ruddell, from Sonoma State University in Rohnert Park, California, discussed their research, which has focused on two aspects of instruction: the characteristics of influential teachers, and the manner in which skillful and less skilled teachers employ ambiguity in their teaching.

Teaching Reading In A Multicultural Framework, Arlene L. Barry

Reading Horizons: A Journal of Literacy and Language Arts

People in the United States have not melted into one homogeneous group. Ethnic groups have retained customs, language, and beliefs. Some have referred to this special diversity as the "tossed salad" effect. Diversity in our population is likely to remain. In 1987, immigrants from 48 different countries arrived on U.S. shores. Our country's Hispanic population increased 30 percent in the last decade. More than 37 million Americans have disabilities and the majority of disabled children spend a good part of their day in regular classes. As educators, we find many representatives of this diverse population in our classrooms. We have …

The Reading Teacher As A Workplace Literacy Consultant, Patrick P. Mccabe

Reading Horizons: A Journal of Literacy and Language Arts

A number of leaders in industry and government have asserted that many workers in this country lack the basic skills to perform adequately on the job; they claim that a wave of workplace illiteracy is sweeping this nation as never before. Whether the cause of this problem is perceived to be a deficit in the educational delivery system or a lag in skills due to the sudden technological explosion, it seems that there are many adults who need training in basic workplace skills in order to obtain and keep employment.

Reading Horizons: A Journal of Literacy and Language Arts

It may be argued that a field only comes of age when its professional membership is able to gain insight into the present and begin to predict the future through the organized studying and the collective valuing of the field's past. As we enter the 1990's, it is time for the field of college reading and learning assistance to achieve a broader perspective that more fully incorporates the field's rich and varied past. To achieve this end, collectively we should endeavor to understand our professional roots through chronicling, interpreting, and evaluating the fundamental ideas, the pedagogical achievements, and the research …

Using Predictable Songs In Beginning Reading Activities, Sandra L. Renegar Oct 1990

Using Predictable Songs In Beginning Reading Activities, Sandra L. Renegar

Reading Horizons: A Journal of Literacy and Language Arts

One of the universal languages of humankind is music, a source of rhythms for toe-tapping, melodies for humming, and lyrics for remembering. Like nursery rhymes, many simple songs contain repetitive and/or predictable language which can serve as a means for teaching sight vocabulary to beginning readers (Bridge, Winograd, and Haley, 1983). Predictable text is characterized by the repetitive pattern of the author and concepts familiar to children (Rhodes, 1981). This repetition may be evident in the rhyme and rhythm of the language and/or the cumulative pattern in stories or songs. By introducing beginning reading vocabulary through music, the children's psychological …

Reading Horizons: A Journal of Literacy and Language Arts

Recently I set myself the task of learning the French language. I knew the undertaking would be fraught with frustration. I did not know it would provide me with insights into the demands made upon the child who is learning to read and write. Neither did I know it would so soundly reaffirm my belief in the whole language approach to literacy instruction.
