A Reading Specialist Reacts To Chall's Reading Study, Nicholas P. Criscuolo

Reading Horizons: A Journal of Literacy and Language Arts

Research into beginning reading instruction has been published recently in the form of a book entitled Learning to Read: The Great Debate (2). Its author is Jeanne Chall, professor of education at Harvard University, who was commissioned by the Carnegie Foundation to analyze critically the findings of over fifty years of research studies in beginning reading. As part of this project, Dr. Chall also interviewed teachers and administrators and visited some 300 classrooms in the United States, England and Scotland.

Janice is a personable young woman of nineteen, a high school graduate with a high school placement score of 73. She is not a candidate for enrollment in local universities. In fact, her prospects for success at any college are dim.

Why Waste Our Time On The Culturally Deprived?, Pat Houseman

Reading Horizons: A Journal of Literacy and Language Arts

Why should we waste our time with the culturally deprived student? Yes, I said waste. When a child is in our charge for at least ten years of his life and at the end of this time cannot function as a productive member of society, then we have wasted not only our time but also his time. We have wasted our energies, money, and talents. There is a tragic waste of human potential. What can we do to end this waste? How can we prepare the culturally deprived child to live in our complex world?

The Effect Of Shear On Aqueous Alkaline Protein Solutions, Ronald E. Hostetler

Paper Engineering Senior Theses

The effect of shear on aqueous alkaline protein solutions of casein and a medium viscosity soybean was studied. A Haake Rotovisco viscometer and an Eppenboch agitator were used as shear sources. The light scattering technique was employed to note the changes in molecular weight.

The protein solution was sheared at 20% solids, and clarified by centrifugation and filtration. The solutions were investigated with the light scattering photometer, at pH 10.3, 13% ammonium hydroxide (based on weight of protein), 23°C and between 0.2 and 2.0% concentration.

Results showed that denaturization, causing aggregation, resulted from pressure filtration during clarification of …

The Effect Of Molecular Weight On The Retrogradation Of Amylose, Darryl O'Daye

Paper Engineering Senior Theses

The effect of molecular weight on the rate of retrogradation of amylose was studied by monitoring turbidity (corrected for molecular shape) with a light scattering photometer. The results obtained showed that by acid modification of the amylose fraction of starch, the chain length of amylose molecules were reduced. The rate of retrogradation increased with decreasing molecular weight until a maximum was reached at 1 1/2 hours of hydrolysis. The rate of retrogradation then decreased with further decreasing molecular weight until retrogradation began to lessen.

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 …

And It Happened To Me, Joe R. Chapel

Reading Horizons: A Journal of Literacy and Language Arts

You should know Ignacio, Maria, Petunia and Pedro--especially Pedro. Because of my involvement with the teaching of migrant children this summer I was able to become acquainted with them, to work with them, and to fall in love with them. Many of the people who participated in this program no longer abide by exigencies of the middle class, in utter oblivion to the migrant children's needs and to their worth.

Which Way Is It Pointed?, Louis Foley

Reading Horizons: A Journal of Literacy and Language Arts

The etymology of the word punctuation leads us back to its remote ancestor, the Latin punctus~ a "point" in the sense of the dot which we now call a "period" because it marks the end of a period. Latin did not require punctuation as our modern languages do, because the forms of words kept their construction clear independently of word-order. Even the period did not seem necessary until fairly late, since the termination of a sentence was shown by the verb which came regularly at the end.
