Reader Response: Students Develop Text Understanding, Ruth R. Becker

Reading Horizons: A Journal of Literacy and Language Arts

Prompted by Rosenblatt's (1978) framework of the reader's transactional relationship to the text, this qualitative study examines four fifth-grade students' stances and their responses to a narrative text in three classroom activities, a peer-led discussion group, a story map activity, and written responses. This study primarily investigates issues regarding the accessibility of shifts in stance for the students. Additionally, it calls into question Rosenblatt's construct of the aesthetic-efferent continuum.

The Initial Work And Education Experiences Of Early School Leavers: A Comparative Study Of Australia And The United States, Stephen Lamb, Russell Rumberger

LSAY Research Reports

This study examines the experiences of early school leavers from the United States and Australia in the first two years beyond secondary school. The results of the study indicate that similar percentages of students left school early in the United States and Australia - 21 percent in the United States and 22 percent in Australia.

Encounters With Information Text: Perceptions And Insights From Four Gifted Readers, Dorothy Leal, Barbara Moss

Reading Horizons: A Journal of Literacy and Language Arts

This study examines the nature of engagement with informational text by exploring four gifted students' responses to children's information books and informational storybooks. The researchers interviewed the students and students recorded their responses to books in journals over the course of the study. Results indicated that these children expressed a variety of reasons for reading nonfiction and held interesting perceptions and strong opinions about informational content, which varied according to text type. Children identified authors' purposes and genre differences, and expressed preference for books with depth of coverage along with a creative format.

Mothers' Prosodie Features: Strategies To Guide Young Children's Understanding Of Book Language, Linda E. Martin

Reading Horizons: A Journal of Literacy and Language Arts

Mothers use prosody to engage children during book reading. Thus, prosody may contribute to children's literacy. The purpose of this study was to describe how twenty-five mothers across children's age groups (6-month olds, 12-month-olds, 18-month-olds, 24-month-olds, and 4-year-olds) used prosody, specifically pitch and stress variations, while reading with their children. Common speech samples from the readings of two different texts (narrative and expository) were analyzed. In addition, the mothers were questioned about their use of expressive language while reading. Patterns from the data showed that the mothers of the 6-month-olds did not vary their speech as often. They used the …
