One hundred five 7th and 8th grade Caucasian, Chinese-American, and Hispanic-American students were selected from three of the five middle schools in the Stockton Unified School District to participate in this study. The DAT …

The Analyses And Comparison Of Five Elementary Spelling Programs, Richard Hindalong

Student Work

Spelling is one of the principal components of any elementary school program of language arts or English. Educationally, as well as socially, poor spelling is generally considered a sign of illiteracy. Whether this is justified or not, people do raise conclusions about a person's education and intelligence on the evidence of his/her spelling abilities. Therefore, strong spelling programs continue to be desired as an integral part of an elementary school curriculum.

The Education Of Children With Specific Reading Disabilities In Western Australia : Report To The Minister For Education, Western Australian Council For Special Education

Research outputs pre 2011

There are few developmental tasks in a child's life more important than learning to read. There are not many matters which concern parents and teachers more than whether or not a child makes satisfactory progress in learning to read. Parents and teachers are aware that young children soon realize whether or not they are progressing in much the same way as the rest of their peer group. As children move towards the end of primary school and enter secondary school, reading remains a fundamental skill on which so much other learning depends...

Fourteen demographic variables selected to be used as independent variables were age, highest degree completed, current annual salary, years of teaching experience, number of months employed per year, average number of students per class, …

The Effects Of Oral And Oral-Visual Dictation Exercises On A Specific Writing Skill Of Selected College Developmental Students (Remedial, Television, Controlled Composition)., Ronald Maurice Simeral

LSU Historical Dissertations and Theses

This research was designed to examine the effects of dictation exercises on the scores of developmental students on a test of a specific English writing skill. Additionally, the study examined the differences in these scores based on the preference type scales of the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI) in order to test the hypothesis that certain MBTI types that handle the oral language well would learn writing skills faster when exposed to dictation exercises related to those skills. A pre-test and a post-test were administered to three groups of developmental writing students at Nicholls State University. All three groups were taught …
