Gatekeepers And Guides: Preparing Future Writing Teachers To Negotiate Standard Language Ideology, Melinda J. Mcbee Orzulak
Gatekeepers And Guides: Preparing Future Writing Teachers To Negotiate Standard Language Ideology, Melinda J. Mcbee Orzulak
Teaching/Writing: The Journal of Writing Teacher Education
This study of pre-service English teachers suggests benefits for exploring standard language ideology with new teachers of writing, such as increased awareness of the dilemmic positions occupied by teachers of writing and better understanding of the relationship between oral and written language. Implications include the need for writing teacher education to focus on the relationship between ideologies and enactment of specific methods, as pre-service teachers may face dilemmas related to beliefs about standard language and their positions as gatekeepers. Exploring additional subject positions for writing teachers, such as guide or language user, may help support stances that promote equitable writing …

At-Risk Preschool Children: Establishing Developmental Ranges That Suggest At-Promise, Lea M. Mcgee, Alanna Rochelle Dail
At-Risk Preschool Children: Establishing Developmental Ranges That Suggest At-Promise, Lea M. Mcgee, Alanna Rochelle Dail
Reading Horizons: A Journal of Literacy and Language Arts
The Early Reading First (ERF) program provided grants to transform preschools into centers of education excellence with the ultimate goal of preventing later reading difficulties (No Child Left Behind Act of 2001). The intent of ERF grants was to provide preschoolers with the necessary cognitive, early language, and literacy skills for success in kindergarten (United States Department of Education, 2007). Programs that received ERF funds were required to monitor children’s progress in specific literacy and language skills (i.e., automatic recognition of alphabet letters, knowledge of the conventions of print, understanding of phonemes and letters, and use of increasingly complex vocabulary) …
What Fifth-Grade Students Reveal About Their Literacies By Writing And Telling Narratives, Dennis S. Davis
What Fifth-Grade Students Reveal About Their Literacies By Writing And Telling Narratives, Dennis S. Davis
Reading Horizons: A Journal of Literacy and Language Arts
Written and oral literacy narratives produced by seven fifth-grade students are examined to identify the literacy identities students construct when narrating their past and present experiences with reading and writing. The narrative analyses reveal four major findings: 1. The students who contributed to this study have experienced literacy in multiple modes and contexts indicative of relatively broad conceptions of what counts as literacy. 2. They primarily describe literacy experiences in positive or neutral terms; when literacy events are evaluated negatively, it is usually in response to literacy demands that diminished students’ feelings of autonomy. 3. Students in this study intuitively …
Looking Ahead With Hope: Reviving The Reading Maturity Construct As Social Science For Adolescent And Adult Readers, Matt Thomas
Looking Ahead With Hope: Reviving The Reading Maturity Construct As Social Science For Adolescent And Adult Readers, Matt Thomas
Reading Horizons: A Journal of Literacy and Language Arts
“Reading maturity” is a construct that looks broadly at reading development encompassing not only basic reading skills but reading habits, attitudes, and dispositions. It has a rich history and this article calls for a need to make reading maturity a necessary part of the literacy curriculum. It offers a working description and reviews past history of the construct, discusses why reading maturity is important, and provides ideas about monitoring progress toward reading maturity. This article asserts that the reading field has developed a solid understanding of how students acquire basic reading skill and content area literacy abilities. However, a compelling …

Improving Oral Reading Fluency Through Readers Theatre, Maryann Mraz, William Nichols, Safronia Caldwell, Rene Beisley, Stephan Sargent, William Rupley
Reading Horizons: A Journal of Literacy and Language Arts
In order for students to learn how to construct meaning from text, teachers must apply instructional strategies that will help readers transition from simple decoding of words to fluent word identification. This article will provide an overview of the literature related to the role of fluency in reading; explain research-based recommendations for fostering fluency with struggling readers; discuss the use of repeated readings, in particular Readers Theatre, as an instructional strategy for developing fluency; and present the findings of a study in which a third-grade teacher applied Readers Theatre to improve the fluency levels of her struggling readers.
An Investigation Of The Efficacy Of One Urban Literacy Academy: Enhancing Teacher Capacity Through Professional Development, J. Helen Perkins, Kathleen Cooter
An Investigation Of The Efficacy Of One Urban Literacy Academy: Enhancing Teacher Capacity Through Professional Development, J. Helen Perkins, Kathleen Cooter
Reading Horizons: A Journal of Literacy and Language Arts
In order to systemically improve student achievement in elementary literacy, a large urban school district partnered with a local university to develop a model for high-quality professional development that hopefully would result in long-term changes in teachers’ literacy instructional/practices. Schools were selected based on their Adequate Yearly Progress (AYP) in reading/language arts’ status. The resulting literacy academy provided approximately 150 hours of professional development over time through two semesters of graduate level course work; 60 hours of it job-embedded. The Literacy Academy was based on a capacity-building model to build teacher knowledge and expertise in reading instruction, specifically in the …
