Lingual Deviation, Visual Perception, And Reading Achievement, Dolores Warner

Reading Horizons: A Journal of Literacy and Language Arts

Progress in reading instruction depends to a great extent on perception and cognition. Perception depends upon the performance of sensory organs, quality of the circumstances attendant to the act of perception and the attitudes and predisposition of the perceiver which affect the quality of his perceptual performance.

Principals Must Face The Issues And Meet The Challenges Of Improving The Reading Program, Joseph B. Tremonti

Reading Horizons: A Journal of Literacy and Language Arts

The principal has a vital interest in the reading program in today's school. The complexity of our social order, coupled with parental anxiety about reading, has forced the principal to become deeply involved in a knowledge of the purposes and techniques of reading instruction. More than ever before the community wants to know what happens in its school.

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. He tells us, for instance, that Modern Persian "has done away with articles," and admires that as "exactly the same simplification [that] is being used today by our headline writers." Now of course the telegraphic style of newspaper headlines serves its purpose well …

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.

Pigment Particle Packing And How It Effects Properties Of The Coated Sheet, James S. Vaughan

Paper Engineering Senior Theses

This study shows the relatively small effect that pigment particle packing has on properties of the coated sheet. An attempt was made to vary the degree of flocculation of the coating without effecting its other properties. The test run on the coated sheets were brightness, opacity, glass and K & N ink absorption. The results showed no change in both brightness and opacity with an increase in flocculation, and only slight trends in decrease in glass and K&N absorption as the flocculation increased.

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 …

Promoting Appreciation For Literature, James A. Wright

Reading Horizons: A Journal of Literacy and Language Arts

To accept the notion "A love of good reading is more likely to be caught than taught," 1 is to contradict the claim "good books must be introduced to pupils in ways which help them to read with increasing ability to analyze and interpret and evaluate." Such a notion is also contrary to the statement, "The only ceiling on effective ways of bringing books and people together is the creative imagination of the adult who is the guide." Yet, these three quotes are taken from the same article-the first and third quotes having been juxtaposed and classified as a summary …
