Perceptions Of Reading Instruction, W. John Harker
Perceptions Of Reading Instruction, W. John Harker
Reading Horizons: A Journal of Literacy and Language Arts
It follows that there exists an obvious need for elementary reading programs to be closely articulated with the developing and changing reading requirements of pupils as they progress through the elementary grades. There is an even more obvious need for close cooperation between teachers and administrators in order to implement reading programs that meet pupil requirements.

Identifying The Basic Elements Of Critical Reading, Thomas R. Schnell
Reading Horizons: A Journal of Literacy and Language Arts
A person undertaking a search of the existing literature on the topic of critical reading would notice immediately that there is a rather large number of articles and book chapters dealing with the topic. In reading a few of the articles it would also become apparent that there is little consensus regarding what critical reading is - the definitions range from a very narrow view such as "Critical reading is recognizing biased writing" to rather broad views such as "Critical reading is the process of comprehending in its highest form." One other thing emerges clearly from the literature; critical reading …

A Computer-Assisted Pre-Service Program In Reading, Camille L.Z. Blachowicz, Peter G. Fairweather
Reading Horizons: A Journal of Literacy and Language Arts
In 1975, the National Right-to-Read effort funded an experimental project at Northwestern University involving the application of computer facilities to the operation of a pre-service program for teacher preparation in reading. Utilizing a competency-based model (Houston and Howsam, 1972), the computer component of the program managed the student's entry into and progress through a series of on-line, interactive tutorials by assessing their initial behaviors, assigning lesson modules, guiding use of a bibliographical data base and monitoring progress.

A Psycholinguistic Look At The Informal Reading Inventory Part I: Looking At The Quality Of Readers' Miscues: A Rationale And An Easy Method, Laura Smith, Constance Weaver
A Psycholinguistic Look At The Informal Reading Inventory Part I: Looking At The Quality Of Readers' Miscues: A Rationale And An Easy Method, Laura Smith, Constance Weaver
Reading Horizons: A Journal of Literacy and Language Arts
Instead of relying on machine-scored tests, many teachers wisely assess children's reading themselves, in an individualized session with each child. Some version of what is popularly known as the informal reading inventory (IRI) is often used for such assessment. The IRI provides a handy but not necessarily reliable method for determining what level of reading material might be appropriate for a given child. Furthermore, it is even less likely to be valid in determining a child's reading strengths and weaknesses. Some recent versions of the informal reading inventory encourage teachers to underestimate children's reading strengths and even to prescribe "remedial" …

Parent Involvement In Children's Reading Readiness Development, Ann E. Klein
Parent Involvement In Children's Reading Readiness Development, Ann E. Klein
Reading Horizons: A Journal of Literacy and Language Arts
Before the days of community-supported schools, parents were the primary reading teachers of their children. This was, of course, if the parents could read themselves. Once schools became established, parents generally relinquished the responsibility for teaching their children to read to the schools. Despite the fact that today most parents know how to read, too often they take a very inactive role in their children's reading development.
Reading Deficiency And Behavior Problems: A Study, Neil T. Glazer
Reading Deficiency And Behavior Problems: A Study, Neil T. Glazer
Reading Horizons: A Journal of Literacy and Language Arts
Early in the 1973 school year, original research was conducted in a New England public school concerning the relationship between reading deficiency and disciplinary problems. A description of the research design and the results of the project were published in the Journal of the New England Reading Association. Since that time further studies have been conducted using a more sophisticated research plan and an expanded statistical analysis of the results. Even more significant than the continued research in the relationship between reading and behavior is longitudinal aspects of the study; the students that participated in the original 1973 study are …
Factors Affecting The Relationship Between Listening And Reading, Shirley Olejnik
Factors Affecting The Relationship Between Listening And Reading, Shirley Olejnik
Reading Horizons: A Journal of Literacy and Language Arts
Although it is important to look at the relationships between all of the language arts, the purpose of this paper is to focus on the relationship between reading and listening. There are several practical reasons for focusing on these perceptive skills. With the myriad of listening/reading materials published today, reading teachers must be ready to evaluate the effectiveness of such materials. In addition, they should be armed with knowledge about the utility of using training in specific and general listening skills as a method of improving reading skills. And, finally, they should have some ideas as to how to incorporate …
Divorce--Reading Style, Nicholas P. Criscuolo
Divorce--Reading Style, Nicholas P. Criscuolo
Reading Horizons: A Journal of Literacy and Language Arts
What is one of the biggest problems in the teaching of reading today? It is curriculum isolationism which results in treating reading as a separate entity rather than as part of the language arts. Teachers spend vast amounts of time teaching reading skills as outlined in basal readers while virtually ignoring the opportunities for children to listen, speak and write. This divorce creates a sterile reading program whereas a marriage of reading with other communication skills results in an effective and healthy reading program.

Required Preparation In Reading For Secondary Teachers, Walter J. Lamberg
Reading Horizons: A Journal of Literacy and Language Arts
In Fall, 1977, a survey was conducted on requirements for secondary teachers in the area of reading instruction. Information from state certifying agencies show a majority of states have some requirements. The results of the survey, when compared to results of two earlier surveys, show increasing interest in secondary reading.
The Role And Function Of Informal Reading Evaluation, Donald C. Cushenbery
The Role And Function Of Informal Reading Evaluation, Donald C. Cushenbery
Reading Horizons: A Journal of Literacy and Language Arts
Many persons have developed the understanding that the evaluation of a given student's reading ability must take the form of the administration of a commerical, standardized reading test. Though the results of a standardized test can be valuable, secondary teachers need to develop an evaluation model which encompasses a number of factors. These aspects would include commercial tests, informal techniques, observational devices, and the study of past reading performance data accrued by a reader.

Oral Reading: Considerations Before Utilization, L.D. Briggs
Oral Reading: Considerations Before Utilization, L.D. Briggs
Reading Horizons: A Journal of Literacy and Language Arts
One of the most revealing diagnostic devices used in the elementary school is oral reading. By using oral reading the teacher can evaluate the child's ability to respond to punctuation marks, to apply phonics, to recognize basic sight words, to phrase correctly, and to apply other reading skills. The child's strengths and weaknesses can easily be determined through the use of oral reading, and an individual improvement program can be based on an evaluation of reading skills as reflected by oral reading. Without question, oral reading is an essential activity for effective teaching. Oral reading, however, is not an extensively …

Time and again I have listened to busy teachers complaining that they don't have time to read the many current articles on IQ, open classrooms, class organization, learning theory, motivation, and use of traditional material which appear in professional literature. Therefore, I would like to consolidate many of these sources into one article which will give the reader some indication of the trends which seem to be taking place concerning these things.

The purpose of a readability formula is to produce a number or number range which approximates the achievement level required of a reader in order to comprehend a written passage. A useful formula, especially to the classroom teacher, is one which is easily computed and which accurately predicts the needed reading ability. Two formulas which have appeared in recent years, the Fog Index and the SMOG Grade, are easily applied. But are they accurate?
False Prerequisites In Learning To Read, Marie Carducci-Bolchazy
False Prerequisites In Learning To Read, Marie Carducci-Bolchazy
Reading Horizons: A Journal of Literacy and Language Arts
Reading management systems, designed to facilitate planning and monitoring of individualized instruction, are based on the concept of prerequisite skills. For this investigation specific skills from the word-attack component of the Wisconsin Design for Reading Skill Development have been selected in order to investigate whether these skills are indeed prerequisite skills for competence in reading. If these skills are prerequisite skills, one should not find competent readers who lack them. (It is important to caution, however, that even if competent readers have certain skills, these skills are not necessarily prerequisite to reading competence. It is possible that competent readers acquired …
