A Taxonomy Of Thinking Skills For Young Readers, James A. Wright
A Taxonomy Of Thinking Skills For Young Readers, James A. Wright
Reading Horizons: A Journal of Literacy and Language Arts
There is nothing more futile than the attempt to accomplish a task when one has not yet decided what the task is. Likewise, there is nothing more difficult than a teacher's attempt to teach a set of skills when the teacher has not yet decided what the skills are. A facile reader himself, a teacher might not have analyzed the reading processes in which his mind engages. Yet he must have a clear understanding of these thinking skills if he is to instill them in his students.

Teaching Reading in High School by Robert Karlin? This book was designed for high school teachers interested in providing reading instruction in their classrooms. Karlin emphasizes the need for the teaching of developmental reading at the secondary level, and he supports his point of view with statistics resulting from a survey taken in the New York public high schools in 1955. According to this survey approximately forty percent of the students evaluated were found to be reading at least a year below their reading expectancies. Basic reading skills, such as word recognition, reading comprehension, rate, study skills and literary appreciation, …

Reading Horizons: A Journal of Literacy and Language Arts
Deriving meaning from the printed page in a high school situation requires the ability to use a great variety of reading skills. Some of these skills are developed in the first grade. During each school year they are extended and refined and new skills are acquired. By the time a student enters high school he should have at his command the knowledge of and the ability to apply a vast variety of reading skills when attacking the printed page. Only then can he understand, use and enjoy ideas presented in written form.
The Making Of Readers, Helen E. Master
The Making Of Readers, Helen E. Master
Reading Horizons: A Journal of Literacy and Language Arts
In considering the process of developing anything, we must have in mind a clear concept of the end product we are hoping to attain. In considering the developing in children of an appreciation of literature, we are aiming at producing life-time readers, children and ultimately adults who will turn with confidence to books (using a general term) for information and pleasure. Now in the day of relatively cheap printing, and hence, an overwhelming amount of inferior material, we must qualify the word "books" with the word "good." And though such a description is woefully open to a carping kind of …

Reading Horizons: A Journal of Literacy and Language Arts
Everyone who has ever been enchanted by the writ ten word—and this surely includes everyone who has ever attempted to teach it—has given at least a passing thought to the question: Wherein lies the difference be tween the language of poetry and the language of prose?

Growth For Citizenship, Winifred Winn
Growth For Citizenship, Winifred Winn
Reading Horizons: A Journal of Literacy and Language Arts
Education today must be concerned with the values in citizenship that should be developed early in the child's life. Value, being defined as something we prize or cherish, involves deliberation and choice, In many communities children are being over-protected or under-supervised, thus leaving to the schools the training of their children in the way they should go. Therefore in the best interest of schools and society, citizenship values must be incorporated into the school program.

In any community, the children are like the sand dunes of Lake Michigan, blown about by the lake winds. During a winter, the dunes may move to a different location and the face of the shore line appears different each spring. A bit of beauty may have been buried or destroyed, roots of trees may be exposed to threaten its life but green, tough grass does appear each year, saplings spring up and survive a few years, even here and there a few forest-edge flowers and vines grow and spread. However, to be productive and produce more than chance beauty …

Jack stared impatiently at the red traffic light and waited. He was anxious to get back to school after lunch. The light changed to green but as the boy stepped into the street, the sound of an approaching siren told him that the light must be ignored and he re turned to the curb. The emergency car passed, the traffic light cycled green again and Jack made his way safely across the street where he was suddenly confronted by a very large dog. The boy's initial reaction of fright was instantly dispelled when he recognized the dog's friendly intentions by …
