Passing Sentence On Sentences, Louis Foley

Reading Horizons: A Journal of Literacy and Language Arts

In his book, The Art of Plain Talk, Mr. Rudolf Flesch makes many assertions which seem convincingly plausible on the face of them, but which prove to be oversimplifications or plain distortions of fact if one troubles to look beneath the surface. Good examples are the comparisons he is fond of drawing between English and other languages.

A Study Of Spelling Errors Made By Milford Second Grade Children During 1966, Athene Roberts

All Graduate Plan B and other Reports, Spring 1920 to Spring 2023

Spelling is the writing of symbols to represent to other people the words and thoughts in the mind of the individual who is writing. Rarely, if ever, does anyone want to write a word which he has not used orally or which he has not heard. The task of spelling correctly is to be sure these symbols are the ones which are accepted and recognized by others (Hanna and Hanna, 1959).

All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023

Is It New?, Hazel Askin

Reading Horizons: A Journal of Literacy and Language Arts

Education by hard, cold definition is a drawing, or leading out process-a growing into, from the Latin verb "educo." It would seem then, on the surface anyway, that any process or technique for teaching of reading or any other part of the curriculum would have been a gradual outgrowth of preceding techniques, philosophies or procedures. When news media and public communications systems, therefore, douse a reading and viewing public with buckets of intellectual baptism purported to be new and revolutionary, it would seem advisable for professional people to become acquainted with factual backgrounds of these so-called "new" techniques before becoming …
