Using Action Research To Assess Instruction, Carole Schulte Johnson, Inga Kromann-Kelly

Reading Horizons: A Journal of Literacy and Language Arts

For years teachers have used self assessment as one way to improve the learning environment in their classrooms. Such assessment, however, tended to be of a private, nonsystematic nature and often was not clearly focused on a central question. Today more and more teachers are developing and experiencing an organized approach to classroom inquiry, known as action research, a concept which has evolved over the past several years. This approach entails stepping back from the immediate concern in order to gain a broader perspective on a problem; then collecting, analyzing, and interpreting data on the basis of a defined plan, …

How Parents Perceptions Of Literacy Acquisition Relate To Their Children's Emerging Literacy Knowledge, Jim Anderson

Reading Horizons: A Journal of Literacy and Language Arts

There is increasing recognition that literacy learning is a sociocultural phenomenon and that the ways in which the learning is mediated, the meanings which are ascribed to literacy, and the literacy activities in which members of a cultural group engage are determined by the beliefs and values held by the participants (Clay, 1993). For example, in her work with three different cultural groups in the southeastern United States, Heath (1983) documented qualitative differences between the early literacy experiences of working class children and their middle class counterparts. Tracking the children's literacy development in school, she found that the middle class …

Looking Into The Mirror: Chinese Childrenfs Responses To Chinese Childrenfs Books, Meei-Ling Liaw

Reading Horizons: A Journal of Literacy and Language Arts

As educators are learning to relate whole language theory and philosophy to literature-based instruction, children's books are finding their way into reading classrooms (Pace, 1991). Not only has literature-based instruction become a common theme in recent national conferences and journals in the field of reading but the use of literature has also been mandated in some places (English-Language Arts Framework for California Public Schools, 1987). Significantly more class room teachers are adopting children's books for literacy instruction than previously (Harris, 1993).

Altering The Succession Of Illiteracy In Families: A Tutoring/Home Intervention Model, Ruth Crawford

Reading Horizons: A Journal of Literacy and Language Arts

The influence of the family and home environment on children's acquisition of literacy has been well documented (Heath, 1983; Taylor, 1983; Teale, 1986). As a result, many school and family literacy programs have begun to focus on involving parents in the schooling of their children. The public schools systems have realized that it is beneficial to involve non-reading parents in the literacy development of their children. One of the best ways to provide family literacy services which accomplish this is to create collaboration efforts between home and school.

Teaching Students About Reading: A Fluency Example, Charles H. Clark

Reading Horizons: A Journal of Literacy and Language Arts

The purpose of this article is to discuss the elements of reading instruction which are necessary for success with students who have not benefited from indirect or implicit instruction. Most articles which cover this ground do so in terms of comprehension (Dole, Duffy, Roehler and Pearson,1991; Pressley, Johnson, Symons, McGoldrick and Kurita, 1989;Spiegel, 1992) or, more rarely, word and letter identification (Cunningham and Cunningham, 1992). Reading fluency, often perceived as a rather mechanical skill, is generally ignored in the literature on modern effective instructional techniques,despite its importance. Many of the proven instructional techniques for fluency are described elsewhere (Allington,1983; Anderson, …

Applying Effective Reading Techniques In Content Area Classes, Candace Poindexter

Reading Horizons: A Journal of Literacy and Language Arts

"I'm a history teacher. Why should I use reading strategies? — Learn reading techniques for a math class? Gimme a break!" These comments are typical of the ones heard at the beginning of every semester in my class titled "Improving Reading in the Secondary Schools." This course is required of all candidates for a secondary teaching credential so attendance is not voluntary and, as might be noted from the above comments, not especially desired. Even the body language of my students was telling —many of the students did not want to be there. They were content teachers, not reading teachers. …

Worldview--Reality As Viewed By Students: Additional Methodologies, William W. Cobern

Scientific Literacy and Cultural Studies Project

We are basically asking 1) to what extent people see themselves as a natural part of nature; 2) whether or not people are perceived as being qualitatively different from other aspects of nature; 3) to what extent, if any, control over nature by people is appropriate. The interview description given for the first interview sequence applies here as well.

An interview begins with the grand tour question, "If there is any kind of order in the world, where do people fit in that order?" The informant's response is followed with three elicitation devices.
