Teaching As We Are Taught: A Model For Whole Language Inservice, Maureen C. Prenn, Patricia A. Scanlan

Reading Horizons: A Journal of Literacy and Language Arts

We acknowledge the truth of this criticism. As teacher educators we are well aware that how we teach is not always compatible with what we teach. While this reality is often a concern to us in our work with preservice teachers, it struck us as especially important because we had been asked to teach an off-campus, whole language inservice course. Teaching whole language demanded that our methodology complement the course content. Because of this, we organized the class in concert with characteristics of a whole language environment: time, ownership, process, conferences, and resources (Butler and Turbill, 1984). Implementing these elements …

In 1988, Ryan White spoke before the National Education Association and discussed his battle with AIDS: 7 stand before you to ask for your help,' Ryan told the teachers. 'The many people against me said they weren't against me, but against my disease. Help me beat the odds and together let's educate and save the children of the world. By proper education, AIDS can be a disease, not a dirty word.'

Teaching Reading In The Nigerian Primary School, Ezekiel A. Abe

Reading Horizons: A Journal of Literacy and Language Arts

Nigeria is a multilingual society with about 250 different languages accompanied by many dialects. Such a situation makes for a comfortable adoption of the English language as the official language of government and as the language of instruction in schools. Internal politics apart, the English language affords Nigerians easy communication among the many linguistic groups in the country and with other English speaking peoples all over the world. The position the English language holds in Nigeria, therefore, calls for the need to look more closely into the teaching of the arts of the language in order to enhance adequate mastery …

The Dolch List Revisited - An Analysis Of Pupil Responses Then And Now, Robert E. Leibert

Reading Horizons: A Journal of Literacy and Language Arts

A little more than a half century after its introduction, the Dolch List of 220 Basic Sight Words (1936) continues to be used in classrooms and cited in reading textbooks. In addition to its instructional application in both classroom and clinic (Fry, 1977), the list is also used for assessment, and published as a test (Dolch, 1942).

Project Caper (Children And Parents Enjoy Reading): A Case Study, Shelley B. Wepner, Phillip P. Caccavale

Reading Horizons: A Journal of Literacy and Language Arts

Parents are our best allies in supporting the overall goals of the elementary reading program. Research clearly indicates that parents' involvement with children's reading development is a prominent factor in promoting children's academic success (Allen and Freitag, 1988; Melton, 1985; Rich, 1985; Smith, 1988). In serving as models for their children, parents' reading behaviors impact on children's attitudes toward reading. When parents frequently read "just for the fun of it," children view reading as a valued, recreational home activity (Demos, 1987). When parents transmit the view that reading is vital to one's development, children carry these values into school.

World View Theory And Science Education Research, William W. Cobern

Scientific Literacy and Cultural Studies Project

This monograph is timely for the membership of NARST. As science educators probe teaching and learning in an endeavor to make sense of learning in classrooms, there is a need for theoretical frameworks to enable new questions to be posed and a correspondingly fresh set of responses to be obtained. World view is a framework that can be applied to research on teaching and learning science and fits well with the trend towards studies that are interpretive in nature. The number of science education researchers using ethnographic techniques in science education research is increasing steadily and theories and methods that …

98-An Inventory Of Artifacts And Summary Of Communications Found In The Collections Of The Kalamazoo Public Museum And Associated With The Historic Period Indian Cemetery (2dkz118) Along The Kalamazoo River In Section 27, Comstock Township, Kalamazoo County, Michigan, William M. Cremin

Reports of Investigations

In 1989, I received a call from Cheryl Lyon-Jenness of the Kalamazoo Public Museum who requested that I examine a collection of Historic Period Indian artifacts that museum personnel desired to prepare for exhibition. She informed me that the museum had purchased the collection from an area resident same years ago and that the documentation surrounding the purchase suggested that it had been retrieved from an Indian burial ground on the Kalamazoo River.

My examination of the items comprising the collection did indeed reveal that these were objects of personal adornment such as are typically found with human remains of …

99-A Report Of Significant Data Recovered From Features 6 And 48 On Site 2dbe410 During Archaeological Investigations Undertaken By Western Michigan University In The Lower Galien River Valley Of Southwest Michigan, William M. Cremin, Gregory R. Walz, Daniel B. Goatley

Reports of Investigations

During Spring 1990, archaeologists from Western Michigan University conducted test excavations at a series of site loci occupying morainal uplands overlooking the wetland-choked Lower Galien River in the southwest corner of Lower Michigan. While the results of our program of research have been previously reported (Cremin 1990), it is our intent here to elaborate upon the potential significance of two observations made on site 20BE410 and not included in the project completion report prepared last year. Specifically, we refer to the recovery of a carbOnized kernel of developed Eastern Complex maize or corn retrieved from deep within Feature 6, a …
