Social Readiness: The Neglected Area In Reading, L.D. Briggs, Sherri Skelton

Reading Horizons: A Journal of Literacy and Language Arts

First and foremost the classroom must be viewed as a social setting where the child interacts with teacher and peers. Thus, while preparing the child for reading and other academic activities, the teacher should not only consider the intellectual, emotional, and physical readiness of the child, but the social readiness as well. Too often this area is overlooked when the readiness of the child is being determined.

A Psycholinguistic Look At The Informal Reading Inventory Part Ii: Inappropriate Inferences From An Informal Reading Inventory, Constance Weaver, Laura Smith

Reading Horizons: A Journal of Literacy and Language Arts

In this article we propose to discuss in more detail the kinds of inferences that may be inappropriately drawn from an informal reading inventory. This discussion should strengthen the rationale for our approach to analyzing a reader's miscues (errors) and determining what kinds of instructional approaches might be appropriate for that reader (see the preceding issue of Reading Horizons).

Staff Development In Reading: What The Experts Say, Jo Anne Vacca

Reading Horizons: A Journal of Literacy and Language Arts

Staff development, as it exists in 1977, became a reality as certain signal events occurred in the federal government's interest in educational research and development. Since the N.D.E.A., the Cooperative Education Act, the E.S.E.A., the Right- To-Read, and more recently, teacher training centers, competency and field-based programs, staff development activities have steadily increased.

Organizing Observable Reading Behaviors, Karl Koenke

Reading Horizons: A Journal of Literacy and Language Arts

All teachers observe their students while they read. That is part of the job. The question is: How well organized is the observation? For example, when asked for information about the child who is being referred because of a reading problem, what can be said and how logically is it organized? Or, when facing the parent of a child with a reading problem, what information might be reasonable to have at hand?

Teachers' Abilities To Judge The Difficulty Of Reading Materials, John W. Miller

Reading Horizons: A Journal of Literacy and Language Arts

One issue confronting any teacher of reading is the critical problem of the "match." Placing students into an appropriate difficulty level of reading material seems to be an important antecedent of effective reading instruction. Chall and Feldman (1966) explain that teachers' abilities to select appropriate reading materials for children vary and that the accuracy of these selections has a definite effect on achievement.

Professional Concerns: Better Reading Through Parent Teaching Pools, R. Baird Shuman, Delwyn G. Schubert

Reading Horizons: A Journal of Literacy and Language Arts

In this contribution, Professor Schubert outlines a highly practical means for involving parents in reading instruction with youngsters. The popular press of late has drawn attention to the need for parents to become involved in helping with their children's education. Such articles as "Parents Are the Key," which appeared in U.S. News and World Report) September 12, 1977, and "How to Help Your Kids in School," which appeared in Better Homes and Gardens) November, 1977, have received considerable attention. Professional journals have also scrutinized the desirability of involving parents as much as possible as adjuncts in the learning process.

Building An Effective Remedial Reading Program For Secondary Students, Donald C. Cushenbery

Reading Horizons: A Journal of Literacy and Language Arts

At the present time there is much attention being given to the requirement that high school seniors must demonstrate a certain level of proficiency in basic skills before they are allowed to be graduated. Some articles which have appeared in various popular journals indicate that there may be over 25,000,000 functionally illiterate adults in this country. To the embarrassment of school officials, many of these persons possess high school diplomas and have made satisfactory grades in English, History, and other content subjects where reading skills are a necessary part of course activity.
