A Study Of The Effect Of Programmed Reading Vs. Basal Reading On Spelling Achievement, Kathleen Ann Callan

Graduate Research Papers

The problem of spelling has concerned educators since the late nineteenth century. "How well children learn to spell is affected by what is done in reading, in written work, in handwriting, in speaking, in addition to what is done in periods devoted specifically to spelling. Recognizing the fact that spelling is an integral part of the many facets of language, considerable amounts of research have been compiled taking many different approaches. Leonard Cahen (1971) in his survey of the research of spelling difficulties cited more than 100 studies just in the area of attempting to predict spelling difficulty. Those did …

Obstacles To Reading Acquisition: Preventative And Corrective Concerns, Carl Braun

Reading Horizons: A Journal of Literacy and Language Arts

In spite of the vast expenditure and research on the process of learning to read, there is little if any evidence that the incidence of reading disability is declining. Some, in fact, would argue that the contrary is true.

Selected Topics On Individualized Instruction, Wilmer Purvis Peeler

Graduate Research Papers

The formal development of individualized instructional programs in America began as a reaction against the age-graded lock-step system in which all students were constrained to study the same materials, in the same way, for the same length of time. Arguments for breaking down uniformity of instruction gained support with the appearance of instruments for measuring human abilities. It became clear that students differ not only in intelligence but in creativity. It also became clear that great differences between competence and performance are possible, and that inequalities in intellect, physical ability and social behavior, great in childhood, increase as students move …

Meeting Children's Reading Needs: Examining The Roles Of Special Teachers, William H. Rupley, Marty Abramson

Reading Horizons: A Journal of Literacy and Language Arts

Those who teach remedial reading in the schools have numerous titles, dissimilar training, and overlapping responsibilities. Children who have mild to severe reading problems may be instructed by reading specialists, Title I teachers, teachers of the learning disabled, and so forth. Similarly, the reading teachers' training may range from participation in an undergraduate or graduate reading program to never having taken a formal course in reading. Though there may be an inherent assumption that all these individuals are equally capable of teaching reading, there are marked differences in training that could make this assumption untrue.

Cultural And Linguistic Factors Affecting The Educational Achiements Of Aboriginals - An Aboriginal Perspective, Vic Forrest

Australian Journal of Teacher Education

Much has been written on Aboriginal education both within Western Australia and Australia generally but, in terms of the delivery of education to Aboriginal students, it can be argued that there has been little change in the attitude of those in control. This paper, in looking at Aboriginal education, will examine some of the following points: definitions of Aboriginality; the nature of cultural differences; the exclusion years in Western Australia; Government policies; language as a barrier; and current achievements of Aboriginal students.

The Effects Of Chinese Character Recognition Instruction On The English Reading Readiness Skills Of Chinese- And Non-Chinese-Speaking Kindergarten Students, Victoria Wai Jew

University of the Pacific Theses and Dissertations

The Problem. Presently Chinese bilingual educators are divided in their opinions on the desirability of introducing initial reading in Chinese in an American school setting. A review of research studies found that data on the effects of Chinese reading instruction in a bilingual program was lacking. The present study was designed to examine the effects of Chinese character recognition instruction on the English reading readiness of Chinese and non-Chinese speaking kindergarten students. The study attempted to provide baseline data, information and recommendations for further research for Chinese bilingual education programs. Procedures. A quasi-experimental design using control and experimental groups was …

[Improving Instruction In Reading Comprehension Utilizing Basal Readers], Patsy Carol Cada

All Graduate Projects

The specific purposes of this project were to:

1. Analyze the instructional comprehension questions suggested by the Houghton Mifflin teachers' manual for the basal reading series grades 1, 2, and 3. This included oral questions used to guide silent reading and post-story discussion questions.

2. Develop additional instructional resources to correlate with the Houghton Mifflin basal reading series grades 1, 2, and 3. Specifically created were alternative questioning strategies to aid early readers in the development of a process for comprehending written passages as they are reading.

These resources will be submitted for use in the author's local school district.

South West Aboriginal Studies Bibliography : With Annotations And Appendices, Anna Haebich, Lois Tilbrook

Research outputs pre 2011

The south west of Western Australia was the first region of the state to experience the impact of European settlement, when the Swan River Colony was founded in 1829. Yet the Aborigines of this unique area have remained largely obscured in its history for almost a full 150 years. This is ironical, as their counterparts of the Pilbara, Goldfields and Kimberleys, feature prominently in literature, and have captured the imagination of artists, writers and academic researchers alike.

There are several reasons for the neglect of the original inhabitants of the south west by observers of the day, and later by …

A Review Of Literature On The Relationship Between Legibility Standards For Printed And Projected Type, Lawrence Cardamon

Graduate Research Papers

Print legibility is of concern to all seeing, reading individuals. For over 100 years educators, printers, psychologists and ophthalmologists, among others, have investigated a wide number of interrelated factors in print legibility. This research reached its zenith in the 1920's through 1940's, particularly in the voluminous work of M.A. Tinker and D. G. Paterson. There is a large and growing body of knowledge available on what affects the quality of our perceptions of printed typography.

The Nature Of Oral Reading And Its Role In The Classroom, Paulette Schuessler

Specifically, the questions that will be dealt with in the first section include: What is involved in the process of oral reading? What relationship exists between oral and silent reading? What is the relationship between oral reading and comprehension? The next section is mainly concerned with the basic considerations that teachers should have in mind regarding the proper uses, as well as misuses of oral reading activities. It will focus …

The Reading Habits Of Mesquakie Parents, Linda Benson Tyon

Graduate Research Papers

A number of texts used in the teaching of reading discuss :factors related to reading readiness, achievement, and attitudes. One of the most significant factors discussed is the home or family environment. Under the broad topic of home or family environment, numerous subcategories are operating. Some of the sub-categories include the socioeconomic background of a family (Artley, 1968); the bilingual/ bicultural background of a family (Allen, 1976); the emotional and psychological state of the family (Harris & Sipay, 1975); and the behavior and attitudes about reading within the family (Karlin, 1978).

The Development Of Word Identification-Recognition Strategies With The Language Experience Approach, Dawn Throlson

Graduate Research Papers

The essential nature of reading is the process of obtaining meaning. In order to process meaning, the reader must be able to perform the task of word identification-recognition efficiently. In the reading process, one has available various sources of information: grapho-phonic, semantic, and syntactic cues. Research on miscue analysis indicates that proficient readers are better able to use the three cue systems than less proficient readers. Hence, reading instruction should help students to be aware of and utilize the three cues. To enable beginning readers to use grapho-phonic, semantic, and syntactic cues, they must be provided with opportunities to read …
