Instructional Practices Which Contribute To Sight Vocabulary Deficits, Carl Braun

Reading Horizons: A Journal of Literacy and Language Arts

In examining clinical reading records, one is struck with a number of learners whose problems relate in some way to a sight vocabulary deficit. The gravity of this can only be fully apprehended when one recognizes that a child with a sight vocabulary problem is not "just another reading problem." His is a limiting problem-a problem, which if uncorrected, stands the strong risk not only of crippling his total reading growth but, indeed, crippling his self-concept as a learner.

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 …

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, …

The Problem

Introduction

The traditional philosophy that a college-or a university is an exclusive institution in which only highly selected individuals receive a concentrated training in the traditional liberal arts no longer exists. In America, for instance, as early as 1870, Harvard, the colonial college with a narrow curriculum, was transformed rather rapidly into a modern university with many new subjects and the elective system (Garrett, 1949). Also, since 1642, when the first entrance requirements were instituted for American higher education, a continuing debate has developed over what constitutes a sound curriculum for education. There are those who …

The Quest For Competency In The Teaching Of Reading: A Librarian's Point Of View, Jean Lowrie

Reading Horizons: A Journal of Literacy and Language Arts

I would like to do three things: first, share with you a picture of libraries as they are now developing programs and planning for tomorrow's needs; present some specific examples of library services which relate to reading needs; finally, explore some examples of today's reading materials which I hope you as reading specialists either know about or with which you will become familiar, and which you and your clientele can obtain through library collections.
