First Grade Reading Activities, E. Esther Nimz

Bachelors’ Theses

After years of scientific research, educators are agreed that in order to teach primary reading successfully, the laws of learning must be utilized. The three important laws which govern learning, are the Laws of Readiness, Effect and Exercise.

As soon as a child shows a desire to read, he should be encouraged to do so and an opportunity should be provided. He should be surrounded with interesting and attractive reading material because according to the law of readiness we find that when a bond is ready to act, it will result "in satisfaction; not to act will result in annoyance.

The Teaching Of Reading In The First Grade, Marguerite R. Olsen

Bachelors’ Theses

Of the importance of being able to read well, and the position of reading in the curriculum, there is no doubt.

Because reading serves as a means to enlarge and enrich the child's and adult's experience, it is very necessary that it be taught with great skill especially in its initial stages.

Guidance In The Junior High School, Robert E. Mcconnell

All Faculty Scholarship for the College of Education and Professional Studies

Guidance has come to be an integral part of the whole program of the junior high school. It extends even farther. It reaches down into the sixth grade and looks forward into the senior high school and college. It is the whole business of the junior high school to take the individual where it finds him and guide him into the proper educational, social, and cultural channels.

Reading Skills Necessary For Effective Work In The Intermediate Grades, Mildred Geiger

Bachelors’ Theses

Although children entering the fourth grade are often expected to have mastered all reading difficulties, and to possess good study habits, this is frequently not the case. Continued oral reading has developed slow and relatively incompetent readers. The fourth grade teacher must, therefore, by means of diagnostic or informal tests determine to what extent her pupils are prepared for the work that is to be accomplished in the intermediate grades. It is the purpose of this thesis to show what fundamental reading alms and objectives are necessary for effective work in this period and how the writer has attempted to …

The Problem Method Of Teaching Geography In The Junior High School, Adela E. Ludwig

Bachelors’ Theses

To teach well one must have some definite plan or method to follow just as it is absolutely necessary in the modern business world to give time and attention to method so it is vitally necessary to have a method of teaching, if one wishes to get results, or to progress. I do not contend that the method which I am going to discuss is the "one and only" or the "infallible" method of teaching geography. I have simply selected this one method in preference to others, by which one can do successful teaching, because I am most interested in …

Reading In The Upper Grades, Catherine A. Mcdonnell

Bachelors’ Theses

There are two large values of wide experience gained through reading. The first is its contribution to the broad, well rounded development of the reader. If chosen wisely and properly, reading materials will extend the experiences of boys and girls, enlarge and correct their fund of information and stimulate their habits of good thinking. The second value gained through wide reading is that it contributes to the development of power to interpret effectively what is read. The fact is generally recognized that a reader of wide experience interprets what he reads far better than one of limited experience. If reading …

Safety Education In The Intermediate Grades, Grace M. Brett

Bachelors’ Theses

One of the purposes of the school is to enable the child to adjust himself to the natural and social environment in which he must. work and live. Managers of large industries have been coping with the problem of safety for many years. It is their contention that safety must be made a part and parcel of every member of a community. People must be brought to think of safety on the same basks as good health. Statistics show that two-thirds of all the accidental deaths occur outside of industries, which emphasizes the importance of a campaign to promote safety …

Motion Pictures In Education, S. O. Opsahl

Bachelors’ Theses

Schools have long been in existence but until . recent years little has been done to attempt to adapt them to the interests and needs of children so as to better fit them to take their place in the work of the world. As this purpose of education has been coming into prominence, methods for accomplishing it have brought many problems before the educators. Changes in methods of teaching, enrichment of the courses of study, and the extension of equipment for teaching, are factors which have been brought forward toward forwarding the real purposes of education.

Teaching History In The Fourth Grade Of The Milwaukee Public Schools, Verna C. Devine

Bachelors’ Theses

Rapidly changing industrial conditions and the crowding of our cities have placed a new emphasis on man's contacts with his fellow man. We live in such close interdependence in a world grown small through such factors as steamships, radios, and airplanes that our social adjustments must of necessity differ widely from those of our ancestors whose homes were almost self sustaining. Our schools have realized the necessity for a changed curriculum and are placing more and more emphasis on the social studies. But we are still asking ourselves: What shall we teach? And what place shall history have in the …

Silent Reading In The Intermediate Grades, Helen Selle

Bachelors’ Theses

There is a very close relationship between reading and the other school subjects. It is most closely related to the children's daily experiences, and should be taught in connection with them. It is essential in every content subject, as a means of getting information and pleasure.

Reading In The Intermediate Grades, Lillian L. Kyro

Bachelors’ Theses

The past few years have brought many vital changes in the teaching of reading in the intermediate grades.

Formerly the objectives in reading for the intermediate grades were not much different from those of the primary grades. According to the traditional point of view, the methods which proved successful in the primary grades ought to be continued in the intermediate grades. To the teacher who holds this point oi view the later grades present no new problems for solution; the problems of the earlier grades still remain except that they present themselves now in an enlarged and intensified form.
