Despite the doubt that controversies generate, the identification and tabulation of oral reading errors dominate decisions generated in practice us,ing informal reading inventories. In practice, informal reading inventories depend on identification, scoring, and interpretation of oral reading errors. Controversies are usually ignored perhaps in the hope that the expert judgment of reading specialists overcomes the difficulties. Beldin (1) explores the controversial history of informal inventories. From early studies to the present, doubt surrounds scoring criteria ( 7, 9, …

Reading In The Secondary School: Emotion As A Factor In Concentration, Kenneth Vandermeulen

Reading Horizons: A Journal of Literacy and Language Arts

A recent survey conducted to explore areas of problems in students' academic work brought out the fact that 92% of our young people indicated a difficulty in concentrating. One .is struck by the high degree of unanimity in this matter. Some respondents make such revealing remarks as: "I can't remember what I have just read"; "My mind keeps going off the subject"; and, "It seems impossible for me to concentrate." Along with these confessions, one finds reasoning that searches for places to lay the blame, as: there is too much noise, the text is boring, the assignment was too confusing, …

Some Socio-Cultural Aspects Of Growing Up Black, Joan S. Wallace, Samuel P. Wong

The Journal of Sociology & Social Welfare

Excerpt from the full-text article:

Black people, like other people, grow up in families. This simple observation is a suprise to people who are accustomed to associate the experiences of Black people with slavery, crime, delinquency, civil disorders. The Black historian, Benjamin Quarles (1967) has observed that white America tends to have a distorted perspective on Black life, and the fact of Blacks growing up in a family is a fresh approach to the understanding of socio-cultural aspects of growing up Black (cf.

The Journal of Sociology & Social Welfare

Social Work Education should have two major tasks with regard to teaching about ethnicity, particularly working-class ethnics. The fostering of sensitivity to diverse cultures, and the members of such cultural groups is clearly one thrust; the architectural task of participating In the building of a society which fulfills the needs and builds the security of its people should be the second function.
