Listening Instruction In College Reading Programs, Thomas R. Schnell

Reading Horizons: A Journal of Literacy and Language Arts

The teaching of reading has been examined from various points of view and in great detail for many years, but a relative new comer to the literature related to reading is the field of listening instruction. Recent estimates suggest that at least 90% of all listening research has been done since 1952 (Taylor, 1969), and that it has been done at all age and grade levels. Much of it, however, has been devoted to studies with secondary school and adult populations, particularly at the community college —college levels.

Work Incentive Policies: An Evaluation Of Their Effects On Welfare Women's Choice, Jacqueline Ballou Jul 1977

Work Incentive Policies: An Evaluation Of Their Effects On Welfare Women's Choice, Jacqueline Ballou

The Journal of Sociology & Social Welfare

It is argued here that Work Incentive Policies treat the symptoms rather than the basic causes of poverty with high costs to society. The writer's own experience with WIN participants as well as attitudinal surveys has suggested that there is a very high motivation to work among welfare mothers, however, the low-wage jobs available to them are not very competitive with benefits available through AFDC with its various in-kind programs such as Medicaid and day care. As Sawhill (1976) notes, the combined benefit-loss rates associated with work incentive programs remain high, as budgetary constraints associated with raising net welfare- wage …


Procedures For Determining Children's Book Choices: Comparison And Criticism, Carol Lynch-Brown Jul 1977

Procedures For Determining Children's Book Choices: Comparison And Criticism, Carol Lynch-Brown

Reading Horizons: A Journal of Literacy and Language Arts

Near the end of the nineteenth century the scientific investigation into children's interests first emerged. Since then many studies have been carried out to determine children's reading interests. The procedures chosen for the collection of data have been almost as multitudinous as the studies. Equally important, the kind of information one obtains may depend to a large degree on the data collection procedure selected. The central purpose of this study was to compare results obtained from two methods of data collection used to evaluate children's reading interests.
