Avoiding Dangers In The Secondary Reading Program: The Principal's Role, George M. Usova

Reading Horizons: A Journal of Literacy and Language Arts

With the increasing emphasis upon reading instruction on the secondary level, the total school faculty and principal must be wary of the many pitfalls that can doom the program to failure.

Media Technologies For The Reading Teacher, Camille Blachowicz

Reading Horizons: A Journal of Literacy and Language Arts

The McLuhan age posed a special problem for teachers of reading. Realizing the power of non-print as an educational tool, they have had to search for the best ways to use media to strengthen, not detract from, the developing literacy of their students. Often this difficulty, as well as the expense of materials or the poor quality of available software have turned the "media revolution" into something less than a skirmish in many classrooms and schools.

Cross-Age Tutoring And The Sacrosanct Reading Period, Jack Cassidy

Reading Horizons: A Journal of Literacy and Language Arts

Cross- age tutoring in the elementary school has long been recognized as a valid means of learning for both the tutor and the tutee; (Frager & Stern, 1970).

But mainstreaming should be considered as a new delivery system which can be a potent vehicle to bring about major curriculum and systems changes in American education. In fact, the new delivery system en compassed in mainstreaming seems to be the tip of an iceberg that touches all aspects of the educational process.

Children's Literature And The Classroom Teacher, Lucetta A. Johnson

Reading Horizons: A Journal of Literacy and Language Arts

The elementary teacher may well ask why teach children's literature when each day's schedule is already crowded with mathematics, reading, spelling, English, science, social studies, physical education, art, music, values, career awareness, and all subjects that come under these broad headings. This article will suggest some ways that children's literature can be used in the elementary curriculum to achieve reading goals that improve on traditional reading programs. Children's literature in no way replaces these programs, rather, it extends and enriches the reading curriculum while encouraging positive reading attitudes.

The development and writing of a program of school-community relations for the Jenison Public Schools led to a review and search of Board of Education policies, administrative memoranda, books and pamphlets, writing of authorities in the field, and attendance at a one-week seminar in Denver, Colorado sponsored by NSPRA. After a review of these materials, participation in the seminar, and consultation from professional educators and authorities in the school public relations field, a program of school-community relations for the Jenison Public Schools was developed.
