Three Spelling Measures As Correlates Of Reading Ability In Underprepared College Freshmen, Sandra K. Pitts

Reading Horizons: A Journal of Literacy and Language Arts

If a significant relationship were found between spelling abilities using varied measures and reading levels using an easily administered reading test, a remedial program for spelling should have a positive effect upon reading skills as well by tapping common cognitive processes and by cultivating those language competencies which are common to both reading and spelling. Such information would be of particular value to support facilities in colleges which serve large minority populations.

A Will Before There's A Way: Preschoolers And Books, Evelyn B. Freeman, Virginia Wasserman

Reading Horizons: A Journal of Literacy and Language Arts

Many children already possess a strong desire to master the written word. What is the key to their eagerness? What factors exist in the home and/or cultural environment that directs a child's natural curiosity of the world around him/her into the arduous task of tearing apart and rebuilding language to allow written as well as vocal communication?

Previewing: A Directed Reading-Thinking Activity, Maria Valeri-Gold

Reading Horizons: A Journal of Literacy and Language Arts

Previewing is an effective reading strategy that has been examined by researchers (Perry, 1959; Smith, 1985; Stauffer, 1969) as a technique to help students to retain textbook material. In previewing, students learn to establish purposes for reading and to make accurate predictions, actions which reinforce and enhance the learning process. Yet, many students do not bother to preview. Students open their textbooks and just start reading from page to page--an unstructured activity which severely limits the amount of learning accomplished.

Metacognition And Classroom Instruction, Mary Ann Wham

Reading Horizons: A Journal of Literacy and Language Arts

When applied to the reading task, metacognition refers to the readers' ability to monitor their own comprehension of material and to invoke the appropriate skills and strategies necessary for comprehension.

Comprehension: Process Or Product?, Mary Jane Gray

Reading Horizons: A Journal of Literacy and Language Arts

In terms of the measurement of comprehension In school, in most instances we look at the product when we question students and hear their answers. More concern should be directed to the process, however, as we can make changes in the process through instructional techniques.

Desirable Teaching Behaviors For Writing, Dixie Lee Spiegel

Reading Horizons: A Journal of Literacy and Language Arts

Interest in the teaching of writing has dramatically increased in the last few years. Teachers who have often had little formal training in writing education find themselves searching for ways to assist their students to become better writers. The Desirable Teaching Behaviors described below were identified by the Parent Education Follow Through Program (Ware, 1980). They can help teachers provide effective instruction in writing and deal with all three stages of the composing process: precomposing (prewriting or planning), composing, and post-composing activities (revising and editing).

Primary Reading Assessment--Quick And Easy--, Virgil Grunkmeyer

Reading Horizons: A Journal of Literacy and Language Arts

The Dolch Basic Sight Word List is a very valuable tool which can be effectively used by preschool and elementary teachers, (N, K-3), who are involved in the teaching of developmental or remedial reading programs. As may be observed, many inexperienced (and even experienced) teachers are failing to recognize the power of this rather simple but effective tool. It is powerful in that the basic sight word list includes 50 to 75 percent of the words which appear in print. The Dolch List should be readily available and used frequently by all teachers of early developmental and remedial reading programs.

Reading Aloud To Students: Questioning Strategies To Listening Comprehension, Mary Shoop

Reading Horizons: A Journal of Literacy and Language Arts

Almost all children throughout the elementary grades respond positively to being read to (Mendoza, 1985). Many teachers consider reading aloud an important part of their daily routine, primarily so students can enjoy a good story. Being read to provides students with an opportunity to be transported across distance and time, to imagine, and to vicariously take part in experiences beyond the realm of the listener. Through such positive reading aloud experiences a variety of additional benefits are often achieved with little overt instructional support; reluctant readers may be "turned on" to reading, students may be exposed to literature beyond their …
