A Boost For The "Basics" Through Children's Literature, Carl Braun

Reading Horizons: A Journal of Literacy and Language Arts

The most persistent hazard in skills emphasis is that we become so busy teaching them that we forget about the important goal- to develop readers and writers. I know children who can perform skills in isolation to 80 percent proficiency, 95 percent proficiency, yes, even 100 percent proficiency. But, they can't read where it counts-in the real world of books. What is even more distressing is that some of them don't even want to enter this real world because they have never had a taste.

A Psycholinguistic Look At The Informal Reading Inventory Part I: Looking At The Quality Of Readers' Miscues: A Rationale And An Easy Method, Laura Smith, Constance Weaver

Reading Horizons: A Journal of Literacy and Language Arts

Instead of relying on machine-scored tests, many teachers wisely assess children's reading themselves, in an individualized session with each child. Some version of what is popularly known as the informal reading inventory (IRI) is often used for such assessment. The IRI provides a handy but not necessarily reliable method for determining what level of reading material might be appropriate for a given child. Furthermore, it is even less likely to be valid in determining a child's reading strengths and weaknesses. Some recent versions of the informal reading inventory encourage teachers to underestimate children's reading strengths and even to prescribe "remedial" …

False Prerequisites In Learning To Read, Marie Carducci-Bolchazy

Reading Horizons: A Journal of Literacy and Language Arts

Reading management systems, designed to facilitate planning and monitoring of individualized instruction, are based on the concept of prerequisite skills. For this investigation specific skills from the word-attack component of the Wisconsin Design for Reading Skill Development have been selected in order to investigate whether these skills are indeed prerequisite skills for competence in reading. If these skills are prerequisite skills, one should not find competent readers who lack them. (It is important to caution, however, that even if competent readers have certain skills, these skills are not necessarily prerequisite to reading competence. It is possible that competent readers acquired …

Awareness And Usage Of Community Mental Health Services By Chicanos: The Effect Of Assimilation And Social Stratification, Fernando Munoz

Masters Theses

This is a study of the utilization of community mental health services by the Chicano population in a Western Michigan community. As members of the second largest ethnic minority group in the United States, the Chicanos are faced with many of the same social ills that plague other minorities. Discrimination, benign neglect, oppression, exclusion by institutions, poverty, high crime rate, alcoholism, physical and emotional disorder, and social disorganization are part of the everyday world of the Chicano. The inherent cultural vehicles, which Chicano culture uses in order to deal with the stresses associated with these social pathologies, will be explored. …
