Assessment And Supervision Of The Field Experience Of A Competency Based Reading Methods Course, Martha Dillner
Assessment And Supervision Of The Field Experience Of A Competency Based Reading Methods Course, Martha Dillner
Reading Horizons: A Journal of Literacy and Language Arts
When the University of Houston committed itself to competency-based, field and campus-centered teacher education over eight years ago, the reading methods courses were primarily campus-centered and included lecture and discussion over assigned reading in a reading methods textbook. In an effort to be compatible with the field-centered focus of the College, a more intensive field-experience component was added to the reading methods course. This addition accentuated the need for a changed format which would be more consistent with a field-based program. The textbooks which had been used previously presented applications of the theory and practice of teaching reading, but did …

The Effect Of Music On Reading, Patrick Groff
The Effect Of Music On Reading, Patrick Groff
Reading Horizons: A Journal of Literacy and Language Arts
It is apparent that music and language reading are both perceptual acts. To read either language or music one obviously must pay close attention to selective details of a graphic display. To listen to music or to words read aloud also involves some common perceptual abilities. Therefore, it is predictable that some have claimed that children's experiences with music will help them to learn to read language. There are several "parallels" in music and language reading, Monroe contends.
Making Effective Classroom Assignments, George M. Usova
Making Effective Classroom Assignments, George M. Usova
Reading Horizons: A Journal of Literacy and Language Arts
Today, probably more than in any other time, teachers are giving their students less and less homework. This is happening not because teachers believe less in giving assignments, but rather because teachers are finding that many students are not completing them.
Professional Concerns: Standing Reading On Its Head, R. Baird Shuman
Professional Concerns: Standing Reading On Its Head, R. Baird Shuman
Reading Horizons: A Journal of Literacy and Language Arts
In his contribution to this column, Denny T. Wolfe, Jr., Director of the Division of Languages of the North Carolina Department of Public Instruction, calls for a more organic approach to the teaching of reading and suggests specific means of proceeding in this direction. What Dr. Wolfe writes is much in accord with the sentiments of James Moffett, who was quoted in the first appearance of this column (Spring, 1976).

Proponents of a psychometric view of reading support the notion that there are identifiable "skills." These skills portray a compact picture of reading that underlies both its measurement and its teaching.
Analogies: Word Attack And Reading Comprehension Skills In A Thinking Context, Jerome Axelrod
Analogies: Word Attack And Reading Comprehension Skills In A Thinking Context, Jerome Axelrod
Reading Horizons: A Journal of Literacy and Language Arts
Few cues give a teacher a more valid or quicker insight into her students' thinking abilities than analogies. The pupils' mental manipulations—or lack thereof—reveal to the aware and perceptive teacher a usually-accurate idea of the extent to which her pupils will be able to perform. Picture analogies for non-readers and word analogies for literate pupils can be used informally by the classroom teachers to approximate just how much pupils, individually, are capable of learningin an academic situation.

Learning Modality: Another Pebble In The Pond, Diana Scott
Reading Horizons: A Journal of Literacy and Language Arts
Approaches for teaching reading, as found in the plethora of reading materials now available, have become increasingly diversified. Audio materials have been added to several major reading programs. Kinesthetic materials are now provided for some programs. Many authors of reading programs are now reluctant to rely on "visual only" cues for teaching the numerous reading skills.

Self Concept Of Academic Ability And Reading Proficiency, John N. Mangieri, Henry D. Olsen
Reading Horizons: A Journal of Literacy and Language Arts
Brookover and associates (1962, 1964, 1965) have investigated the nature of self-concept and its effects, and relationships, to the academic achievement. Results reported indicate that there is a direct relationship between self-concept and academic achievement.
Viable Strategies For Promoting Growth Among Reading Personnel, Nicholas P. Criscuolo
Viable Strategies For Promoting Growth Among Reading Personnel, Nicholas P. Criscuolo
Reading Horizons: A Journal of Literacy and Language Arts
Reading personnel dispense knowledge and facilitate learning willingly. Yet, it's not a one-way street. Reading personnel have their own unique needs. They need to replenish their reservoirs of knowledge and constantly be aware of the latest trends and developments in the field. By so doing, they will be in a better position to help others.
Black Dialect In Children's Books, Melvin W. Wells
Black Dialect In Children's Books, Melvin W. Wells
Reading Horizons: A Journal of Literacy and Language Arts
Black non-Standard English is different in grammar (syntax) from Standard English. The advent of the 60's produced authors who explored the full possibilities of language to deal with their themes. The increased use of dialect by black authors, particularly children's authors, was a sign that the nature of the black experience as they wanted to convey it did not have to rely on traditional forms, and literary devices; that they could treat familiar, realistic ideas and situations using a familiar dialect and relate that idea more effectively.
Study As Self Instruction: The P.O.W.E.R. Comprehension Model, Richard Burke
Study As Self Instruction: The P.O.W.E.R. Comprehension Model, Richard Burke
Reading Horizons: A Journal of Literacy and Language Arts
Most reading expected of secondary and college students is ac complished out of class even though that reading is usually for the purpose of school achievement. Usually it is instructional behavior we are after when we have students read for class, but most management of the learning process ends when the students leave the classroom. If out-of-class reading is for instructional purposes and if the teacher's function is to manage the learning process, then consideration of learning behavior in out-of-class instruction is worth our attention as teachers. Rothkopf (1965) has coined the term mathemagenics to refer to behaviors which give …
Eliminate Discipline Problems Through Grouping, George M. Usova
Eliminate Discipline Problems Through Grouping, George M. Usova
Reading Horizons: A Journal of Literacy and Language Arts
A troublesome issue that many teachers face is getting their students to complete in-class discussions or writing assignments. When students work independently on a task, many are likely to be lost or uninterested in what they are doing and become frustrated. This frustration leads to despair, resignation or hostility, which in turn can cause discipline problems.
Philosophical And Cultural Perspectives On Reading, Nathan Kroman
Philosophical And Cultural Perspectives On Reading, Nathan Kroman
Reading Horizons: A Journal of Literacy and Language Arts
Candor requires that I disclaim any real expertise in the educational specialty of reading instruction. This probably accounts for my writing about it with such sublime confidence. I do, however, believe that I know how to read. Moreover I have related to large numbers of people who are representative of many and diverse occupational and regional sub-cultures across the United States and Canada all of whom believe that they know how to read. These people typically exhibit a rather particular pattern of thinking styles. Since thinking is related to language and language is related to reading and since they all …
Reading In The Secondary School: Teaching Students How To Add Words To Their Vocabulary, Part I, Kenneth Vandermeulen
Reading In The Secondary School: Teaching Students How To Add Words To Their Vocabulary, Part I, Kenneth Vandermeulen
Reading Horizons: A Journal of Literacy and Language Arts
It is not difficult to collect a number of statements by the experts on why we must teach vocabulary growth. Words are the tools of communication, and, words are units out of which we build all thought and philosophy. Those are the truisms of yesterday, too old to attribute to a single person, and seldom thought about in today's world. Here is a thought by an expert today—"The substrata-factor research by Holmes and Singer indicates that vocabulary deserves predominant emphasis, since it contributes 51 percent to reading speed —far more than any other first-order factor." (James I. Brown, "Increasing Reading …

Echoes From The Field: Philosophy For Secondary Remediation, Shirley Madsen
Reading Horizons: A Journal of Literacy and Language Arts
Almost all phases of remedial reading, from teacher training to practical application, are aimed at the early elementary levels (and rightly so), but reading problems do persist among students at the middle school, junior high and high school levels. Therefore, a committee of the Montana Reading Council has compiled this Philosophy for secondary remediation.

Homosexuality: Out Of The Educational Closet, Walter M. Mathews
Homosexuality: Out Of The Educational Closet, Walter M. Mathews
Educational Considerations
This article confronts the issue of homosexuality as it relates to the school. The treatment that educators have generally given to homosexuality reflects an unfortunate potpourri of prejudice and misinformation that is shared by a great portion of the public. This article provides basic information to educators who have not been in a position to objectively consider the issue of homosexuality and the school, and attempts to nudge educators toward further fact-finding and consideration of the problems so that they foster change in their schools and communities.
