Implementing A Holistic Reading Series In First Grade: Experiences With A Conversation Group, Martha Combs

Reading Horizons: A Journal of Literacy and Language Arts

A local school district has adopted a reading series which is described by the series' authors as a whole language approach (Booth, 1984). In comparison to the three previously adopted reading series (Lippincott, Open Court, and American Book), this adoption decision represents a dramatic philosophical and instructional shift. This decision also represents an attempt to mandate holistic literature-based instruction, rather than to let it emerge as a grassroots, teacher-initiated change, which is considered by Goodman (1986) to be a more successful way to implement whole language.

Their Own Story: Literature For African-American Children, Jeanna Mcglinn

Reading Horizons: A Journal of Literacy and Language Arts

The literature that African-American children read has the power to transform their vision of themselves and their culture. According to a report issued by the National Black Child Development Institute (1991), "Children's books that present accurate and realistic images of Black people and our culture are a major vehicle for generating high self-esteem and a positive self-concept in Black children" (p. 5).

Holistic Analysis Of Basal Readers: An Assessment Tool, Arne E. Sippola

Reading Horizons: A Journal of Literacy and Language Arts

Authors of contemporary basal readers make many claims as to the whole language-like nature of their programs. Their advertising literature contains assertions such as "full spectrum of the language arts," "literature based," and "integrated, whole language approach." Indeed many recent basals contain components that could be considered holistic in nature.

Fluency In Children's Writing, V. Andree Bayliss

Reading Horizons: A Journal of Literacy and Language Arts

Ask local elementary teachers which children in their classrooms are their best writers, and, usually, they will spontaneously name three or four students. Teachers know their best writers. They also know some of the contributing factors. These children are often good readers, who love a good story and seem to have a natural talent for telling one themselves. Where writing is concerned, they are a teacher's joy.

Generating Response To Literature With At-Risk Third Grade Students, Kathy Everts Danielson, Patty Tighe

Reading Horizons: A Journal of Literacy and Language Arts

Response to literature is an important aspect of reading and comprehension (Hansen, 1987). As readers read quality literature they are more apt to respond in a personal nature to the text. Rosenblatt's (1983) response theory suggests that reading is a transaction between the reader and the text. It provides for the unique response to literature that an individual might have, depending upon the text and the context of reading.

The Effects Of Teacher Training On Pre-Service Elementary Education Majors' Conceptual Framework Of Reading, Patricia A. Shaw

Reading Horizons: A Journal of Literacy and Language Arts

What is known about the training of teachers? Does training make a difference? If training makes a difference, what type of training? What variables influence the training? What guarantee is there that training will transfer to the actual teaching situation? These are questions that were asked before, during and after the studies presented in this article. The purpose of the studies was to investigate whether a reading methods course and/or student teaching can influence an individual's conceptual framework of reading.
