Reading In The Secondary School: Teaching Students How To Add Words To Their Vocabulary, Part I, Kenneth Vandermeulen

Reading Horizons: A Journal of Literacy and Language Arts

It is not difficult to collect a number of statements by the experts on why we must teach vocabulary growth. Words are the tools of communication, and, words are units out of which we build all thought and philosophy. Those are the truisms of yesterday, too old to attribute to a single person, and seldom thought about in today's world. Here is a thought by an expert today—"The substrata-factor research by Holmes and Singer indicates that vocabulary deserves predominant emphasis, since it contributes 51 percent to reading speed —far more than any other first-order factor." (James I. Brown, "Increasing Reading …

Black Dialect In Children's Books, Melvin W. Wells

Reading Horizons: A Journal of Literacy and Language Arts

Black non-Standard English is different in grammar (syntax) from Standard English. The advent of the 60's produced authors who explored the full possibilities of language to deal with their themes. The increased use of dialect by black authors, particularly children's authors, was a sign that the nature of the black experience as they wanted to convey it did not have to rely on traditional forms, and literary devices; that they could treat familiar, realistic ideas and situations using a familiar dialect and relate that idea more effectively.

The Effect Of Music On Reading, Patrick Groff

Reading Horizons: A Journal of Literacy and Language Arts

It is apparent that music and language reading are both perceptual acts. To read either language or music one obviously must pay close attention to selective details of a graphic display. To listen to music or to words read aloud also involves some common perceptual abilities. Therefore, it is predictable that some have claimed that children's experiences with music will help them to learn to read language. There are several "parallels" in music and language reading, Monroe contends.

Echoes From The Field: Philosophy For Secondary Remediation, Shirley Madsen

Reading Horizons: A Journal of Literacy and Language Arts

Almost all phases of remedial reading, from teacher training to practical application, are aimed at the early elementary levels (and rightly so), but reading problems do persist among students at the middle school, junior high and high school levels. Therefore, a committee of the Montana Reading Council has compiled this Philosophy for secondary remediation.

Towards The Development Of Theory: Cultural Pluralism Redefined, Antonia Pantoja, Wilhelmina Perry, Barbara Blourock

The Journal of Sociology & Social Welfare

The authors are attempting to move beyond the descriptive position, evidenced in the current writing, towards a theoretical approach to cultural pluralism. A series of definitions are presented concluding with the authors' definition of cultural pluralism - redefined. The new definition is discussed, as an operational concept, emanating from participants in the new cultural pluralism movement.

The current societal conditions that impede the realization of cultural pluralism are discussed in relation to a conceptual model, Criteria for Assigning Preferred or Unpreferred Status, that is used to explain our society's idealization of certain personal, social, and economic characteristics.

The authors conclude …

Professional Concerns, R. Baird Shuman

Reading Horizons: A Journal of Literacy and Language Arts

Most teachers of reading have realized the necessity of providing situations in which disabled readers can practice their reading skills without the embarrassment of letting other people know that they have deficiencies in these skills. One of the ultimate tasks of the teacher of reading is to provide situations in which students can work toward improving their skills while at the same time retaining their dignity and not jeopardizing their self-images.

Amateur Etymologists At Play, Louis Foley

Reading Horizons: A Journal of Literacy and Language Arts

Still around are some of us who attended high school through the years 1906-1910. In my case that was in Zanesville, Ohio, which periodically over the years has been portrayed in magazine articles as "the typical American town." In those days high school principals did not seem to be chosen primarily as administrators specially skilled in management. The principal of a school was the principal teacher, supposed to be something of a scholar, often addressed as "professor." He was expected to be familiar with the subject-matter of the curriculum as a whole. If a teacher had to be absent for …

Write To Read: The Language Experience, Gerald Zinfon, Charles R. Duke

Reading Horizons: A Journal of Literacy and Language Arts

Writing instruction at all levels of student development should focus on and nurture the individual's confidence in using his native language. The teacher who provides students with opportunities to explore their own perceptions, their own experience in their writing and reading, can build language confidence and competence.
