Developing Elementary Science Concepts By An Individualized Approach, Blanche O. Bush, Louis A. Govatos

Reading Horizons: A Journal of Literacy and Language Arts

In developing a concept of the universe at the elementary level many learning aids are utilized. Visual presentations, direct observations, experimentations and critical reading accompanied by discussions serve to enhance a child's understanding of a concept. Moreover, it is apparent that all elementary school children do not arrive at the same level of understanding of scientific phenomena. There are many children who do not respond effectively to experimentation and critical reading and thus must rely on direct observations and visual presentation in arriving at a lower level of conceptual development. Other children who are more sophisticated may understand the orderliness …

A Preliminary Study In Programming Reading For The Mentally Retarded Learner, Chris Koronakos

Reading Horizons: A Journal of Literacy and Language Arts

Teaching reading to the mentally retarded assumes a major portion of an institution's educational facilities and personnel. The considerable amount of time and effort that are devoted to this one aspect of the child's training reflect the vital character that reading instruction has for his occupational and psychological adjustment. Any increase in our knowledge of the factors and methods that play a role in the teaching process is desirable and much needed.

An Investigation Into The Possible Relationship Between Reading Ability And Functional Articulatory Defective Speech, Joan Elizabeth Weir

Masters Theses

Introduction

The purpose of this study is to investigate the relationship between reading disability and defective articulation. An attempt has been made to determine whether or not children with functionally defective articulation have difficulty in reading.

It is conceivable that a deficiency in one or several areas of language development might impede or retard a child's academic achievement and might interfere with his emotional adjustment. This study was, therefore, undertaken, first to determine whether or not there is a difference in the reading ability of speech defective children as determined by valid and reliable measures, and the reading ability of …

Specific Language Disability As Related To Clinical Failure In Public School Speech Therapy, G. Lorraine Hansen

Masters Theses

Chapter I

Background of the Problem

Introduction. The term language as used in this thesis refers to the complex symbolic processes of speaking, reading, and writing. Speech is the primary process of language. Reading and writing are secondary processes formed by written symbols which reflect the primary symbols of speech. Due to the integral relationship of these elements, a facility or disability in one might affect the others. If this is true, then it might also be possible that one currently existing factor could affect the entire area of language including any, or all, of the interrelated processes. It is …

The Teaching Of Reading In The United States, Blanche O. Bush

Reading Horizons: A Journal of Literacy and Language Arts

The history of the teaching of reading in the United States is directly related to the background influences of the period. The changing institutions, religious, political and economic, are reflected in the aims, materials and procedures of reading in each era. In this paper the history of the teaching of reading has been traced from the early colonial period to the present time.

Toward Horizons Of Reading In The Aerospace Age, Barbara F. Edwards

Reading Horizons: A Journal of Literacy and Language Arts

Milieu. We live in an age when reading is a subject of concern to the man on the street as well as to the scholar. The "This Week" section of recent Sunday newspapers serves as only one indication of the public interest in our subject. We live also in a time when scientific reasoning by a staff or team of administrators, teachers, and researchers is not only possible, but encouraged. We live at a time when the factors of group dynamics and individual counseling (6) are being considered as important elements in learning processes. In these things, all of us …

An Investigation Of The Genetic Basis Of Alcoholism, Daniel F. Malamud

Masters Theses

Introduction

Alcoholism: The Disease

"Alcoholism is a chronic disease manifested by repeated implicative drinking so as to cause injury to the drinker's health or to his social or economic functioning" (53). Such a definition of alcoholism points to the disease concept which went unrecognized until recent years. In addition to its medical implications, alcoholism has been the subject of considerable writing and research by academicians in such diverse fields as sociology, psychology, physiology, psychiatry, theology, and law.

At the outset it should be noted that the writer is aware of the arguments and opinions expressed by the advocates of the …

Comparison Of Alcohol Offenses Of College Students With Those Of Persons In A Similar Age Group Who Have Not Had College Experience, Cornelis Laban

Masters Theses

Introduction

The purpose of the study was to·make· a comparison of the drunk driving behavior of college students with that· of those persons in a similar age group who have not had college experience. There is very little published information about the statutes governing "driving under the influence of liquor" (D.U.I.L.). The educable nature of persons involved in such offenses 8 and the probable anti-social and sociopathic behavior in individuals leading up to the offenses, also need thorough investigation. Very pertinent also is the question whether or not there is a biological basis for this particular behavior; an understanding of …

Developing Mental Content Through Creative Activities, Martha Barrett Newell

Reading Horizons: A Journal of Literacy and Language Arts

Each of us seeks the approval of our peers, and this is a natural desire of children, too. But, as adults we seem to have forgotten the warmth of response to the fact that "I made it myself." There is magic in creation, and a very special kind of magic to the child who senses that he is indeed part of what he produces. Everything, from the molded handprint of the earnest kindergartener (Do you not still have one of these pieces of loveliness . . .?) to the finished mural of the high school student, has in it a …
