Some Semantics Of Basic Word Lists, Patrick Groff Apr 1976

Some Semantics Of Basic Word Lists, Patrick Groff

Reading Horizons: A Journal of Literacy and Language Arts

Lists of words compiled on the basis of their frequency of occurrence in writings of various kinds have long been considered "basic" materials for reading instruction. It is said teachers should use such lists because the child best learns to read if the order of the words presented to him for this purpose is governed by the relative frequency words occur in written materials. Put another way, it is argued that if word A occurs more often in written matter of different types than does word B it then should be presented for a child to learn to read before …

Meaningful Vs. Meaningless Utterances In Inventories And Their Effects On Pupil Performance, Jerome Axelrod Apr 1976

Meaningful Vs. Meaningless Utterances In Inventories And Their Effects On Pupil Performance, Jerome Axelrod

Reading Horizons: A Journal of Literacy and Language Arts

In administering phonics inventories to his pupils, a teacher must be sure he is testing the pupils' knowledge of phonics ("sound sense") and not other or additional knowledge the pupils may possess. Administering this kind of extraneous-free test may be difficult in view of the great ranges of knowledge the students may bring to the testing situation. Therefore, it is the teacher's responsibility to employ in his phonics tests stimuli which he is relatively certain lie outside the ken of the respondents. It would seem, then, that using nonsense syllables (NSS: i.e. meaningless utterances) in phonics tests would be superior …

Some Reasons For Oral Reading, R. Baird Shuman Apr 1976

Some Reasons For Oral Reading, R. Baird Shuman

Reading Horizons: A Journal of Literacy and Language Arts

Few would question the appropriateness of oral reading in the first and second grades. Most experts feel that reading aloud is a worthwhile activity in the earliest years of school because the students have not yet developed sufficient speed in silent reading to make silent reading a valuable enterprise for them. Lewis and Sisko (1963) caution, however, that "from the time a child's silent reading rate overtakes his rate of oral reading, usually during the second or third grade, too much oral reading has the adverse effect of slowing down the rate of silent reading and encouraging unnecessary lip movement, …

Reading In The Secondary School: Studying Spelling Successfully, Kenneth Vandermeulen Apr 1976

Reading In The Secondary School: Studying Spelling Successfully, Kenneth Vandermeulen

Reading Horizons: A Journal of Literacy and Language Arts

Accurate spelling is obviously an important outcome of every student's elementary and high school education. It is true that some research indicates a very low correlation between spelling ability and reading or verbal background. However, it is also true that correct spelling in the world of business is emphasized, perhaps out of proportion to the rest of the graduate's educational attainments. We cannot deny that prospective employees are measured on the basis of some first impressions. His appearance, however superficial that may seem, his conversation, and his letter of application or sample of writing in his resume-these are still the …
