Individualized Reading In A University Course, Marilyn Winzenz, David Winzenz

Reading Horizons: A Journal of Literacy and Language Arts

Teaching introductory classes at a university for even a few semesters makes most instructors aware of problems which are particularly common in these courses. Aside from the usual variety in student ability and interest, introcuctory students differ widely in their purpose for taking the courses and future aspirations in the area. The majority of introductory level students at liberal arts schools are non-majors and will have no formal academic contact with the discipline beyond the introductory course. Usually, they take the introductory course to fulfill some type of "general education" requirement. Hence, the population of the introductory class is particularly …

Heads Up, Delwyn G. Schubert

Reading Horizons: A Journal of Literacy and Language Arts

Many have seen a pianist adjust and readjust a piano stool before beginning a performance, or, perhaps, have received instruction as to how to hold a golf club prior to the involved act of swinging at the golf ball. Any complicated skill, it seems, requires proper position if optimum results are to be attained. But few of us realize that proper position is just as essential when engaged in the complicated act of reading as it is when playing a piano or driving a golf ball.

Names - A Natural For Early Reading And Writing, Patricia Cunningham

Reading Horizons: A Journal of Literacy and Language Arts

When and how to begin reading instruction has been a subject of controversy for many years. Early studies (Morphett and Washburne, 1931; Dolch and Bloomster, 1937) suggested that a mental age of six or seven years was required before children were ready to begin to read. This resulted in reading instruction being delayed for many children and in many developmental activities such as distinguishing shapes and colors, sequencing pictures and even such physical activities as crawling and skipping being considered "reading readiness".

Restructuring Teaching Strategies For Unstructed Basal Stories, Patricia A. Pierce Antonacci

Reading Horizons: A Journal of Literacy and Language Arts

This article proposes to identify some of the trouble spots in basal stories caused by the uses of vocabulary control and readability formula, the inherent features of commercial texts. Additionally, for a more effective employment of the basal reader, specific suggestions will be made that will enable teachers to help their young readers to construct meaning from stories that are less than perfect.
