Integrating Language Activities Into Reading Instruction, Dixie D. Sanger, Sheldon L. Stick, Una A. Lange

Reading Horizons: A Journal of Literacy and Language Arts

This study determines if second grade children, who have been identified as having possible listening comprehension problems and language deficiencies, demonstrate improved reading performance with an integrated reading-language treatment approach. A quasi-experimental design included sixteen children in the experimental group and nineteen subjects in the control group. Six operationally defined language behaviors were studied during eleven weeks of treatment. the data were interpreted to imply that certain aspects of an integrative reading-language approach were effective for reading instruction.

Monitoring Progress Toward Independent Silent Reading, Lilian H. Franc, Jeannette Hildrebrandt

Reading Horizons: A Journal of Literacy and Language Arts

In an effort to gain a greater understanding of how children make the transition from reading word for word orally to becoming independent silent readers this study monitored the development of fluent oral reading of beginning readers, recorded progress related to the children's ability to use a modified cloze procedure as an indication of their perception of reading as a meaning gathering process, charted children's ability to write a complete sentence independently, and observed children as they made voluntary decisions to read a trade book silently.

Effects Of Adding Folklore To Basal Reading Programs, Ellen R. Sallee, Renuka R. Sethi

Reading Horizons: A Journal of Literacy and Language Arts

In Defense Of A K-12 Reading Perspective, Earl H. Cheek Jr., Jimmy D. Lindsey, Adele D. Rutland, Theresa S. Doyle

Reading Horizons: A Journal of Literacy and Language Arts

Teaching students to read is a very important goal in the public schools. This objective has been established because professionals believe that "being able to read" facilitates students' chances for future success and happiness. Yet, when definitions of literacy are reviewed and the reading ability of the adult population in the United States is considered, data indicate taht millions of Americans are illiterate. In order to revers this downward spiral, the skill of reading must be viewed as a continuing process. Such a supposition would be adopting and implementing a K-12 perspective.

Developing A Philosophy Of Reading: Piaget And Chomsky, Robert P. Craig

Reading Horizons: A Journal of Literacy and Language Arts

As Piaget consistently acknowledges, all learning is an active process. Reading, then, is an activity, a proecess of confrontation between an individual and a text (3). For both Piaget and Chomsky, language is highly strcutured. In Chomsky's terms, there is a linguistic relationship between the surface structure and the phonological aspects of language.

Enliven History With Books, Karla Hawkins Wendelin

Reading Horizons: A Journal of Literacy and Language Arts

Students often consider history to be dull and the textbooks difficult. Because of the many trade books available, however, history can be brought to life. These books create characters, both real and fictional, within settings of actual historical events. Not only are authentic details given, but the motivations underlying a chronology of causes and effects are presented in readable fashion that may be quite different from textbook material.

Read Aloud Tutoring: A Program To Enhance Reading Interests, Ora Sterling Anderson

Reading Horizons: A Journal of Literacy and Language Arts

Meaningful reading, to a large extent, depends upon the interaction between the reader and the material read. In order to comprehend what is read and interact with the writer, the reader must bring prior knowledge to bear on the passage (Otto and Smith, 1980; Rumelhart, 1976; Smith, 1978).

Approaches And Methods For Reading Specialists: A Continuing Debate, Mark E. Thompson

Reading Horizons: A Journal of Literacy and Language Arts

The power of technology is a challenge to humanistic concerns and forms the basis of the continuing debate, i.e., how should we use our educational technology and how do we keep it under control? There are many examples of raw technical power going haywire. For educators at all levels, technology must be under human control and carefully applied.

Using Observation To Assess Young Children's Reading Attitudes, Olivia N. Saracho

Reading Horizons: A Journal of Literacy and Language Arts

The checklist presented was derived from a study based on Rowell's (1972) conclusions: (1) the children's behavior indicates their attitudes; (2) an observer can objectively record this behavior with the appropriate instrument; and (3) the format of the instrument should provide the observer with the opportunity to assess the children's reactions to their reading experiences. based on these conclusions, the Preschool Reading Attitudes Observation Checklist (PRAOC) was constructed to assess young children's observable behaviors in reading.

Teaching Confused Words, Leo M. Schell

Reading Horizons: A Journal of Literacy and Language Arts

If a child confuses look-alike words, we can't remediate the situation by relying on "business as usual" methods. Methods used previously may have contributed to the problem in the first place. Therefore, even though confused words are a subset of common sight words, we can't use methodology typically used to teach children sight words; we need to use procedures especially appropriate for the situation. Fortunately, much recent attention has been paid indirectly to this problem.

The Social Security Controversy And The 1983 Amendments, Bruno Stein

The Journal of Sociology & Social Welfare

As domestic political crisis go, the Social Security crisis has had a rather long run. The little monster made its first formal appearance in the 1974 Annual Report of the Trustees (1974), (1) and retained its ability to generate headlines and political grief until March 1983, when passage of the current Amendments put it to rest, at least for the time being. There is some measure of irony here. The original Social Security Act of 1935 was a rather modest venture, as these things go. Over time, the Act was expanded to cover more people, insure against more contingencies, and …
