An Inventory For Assessment Of Oral Language Production, Joyce M. Hamrick
An Inventory For Assessment Of Oral Language Production, Joyce M. Hamrick
Reading Horizons: A Journal of Literacy and Language Arts
In terms of specific behavior, reading achievement and subsequent learnings are determined by the effect of a language pattern influenced by appropriate or inappropriate cognitive thought.
The Principal Helps Improve Reading Instruction, Sidney Trubowitz
The Principal Helps Improve Reading Instruction, Sidney Trubowitz
Reading Horizons: A Journal of Literacy and Language Arts
In cases in which principals have failed to improve reading instruction it is because they have not fully accepted their role as school instructional leaders, because they don't see reading as a priority goal, because they don't understand what is involved in change, or because they view materials and systems rather than teaching as the key to the reading process.
Educational Games On File, Richard H. Sherman
Educational Games On File, Richard H. Sherman
Reading Horizons: A Journal of Literacy and Language Arts
Even in the best of budgetary times, classroom teachers are often in need of an assortment of educational games for reinforcing learned concepts. The teacher can accumulate files on a variety of such games inexpensively and with a minimum of storage need. The games are prepared on file folders and when not in use store flat in a file drawer or box. The labels for each game are clearly visible so that even the youngsters can retrieve them with little difficulty. The labels can be pictures or symbols for nonreaders and printed titles for children already acquiring recognition skills.

If They Talk When You Say "Listen!" And Won't Talk When You Say "Discuss!" Read!, Patricia M. Cunningham
Reading Horizons: A Journal of Literacy and Language Arts
Speaking and listening, it appears, are elusive to many classroom teachers. There are no textbooks or teachers' guides. The many experts, who exhort teachers to include them, either don't tell how or suggest some isolated activities which at best fill up rainy afternoons.
High School Discipline Problems And Reading Disability, George M. Usova
High School Discipline Problems And Reading Disability, George M. Usova
Reading Horizons: A Journal of Literacy and Language Arts
In the past ten years vandalism, impertinence to teachers and general classroom disturbances have increased tremendously. These are only a few of the types of discipline problems that teachers and administrators are faced with daily. The secondary schools seem to be the most prominent area of trouble. If at all possible, it is up to these high school classroom teachers to handle the discipline problems they face. Sending students to the office, suspensions, and expulsions are often not the answer for chronic offenders. They simply meet these punishments with resentment and defiance. Too many times they just return to the …

A Writing Approach To High School Reading, R. Baird Shuman
A Writing Approach To High School Reading, R. Baird Shuman
Reading Horizons: A Journal of Literacy and Language Arts
Many of the problems which are endemic among middle school and senior high school youngsters who have difficulty in learning how to read effectively are overcome in writing workshops. Disabled readers at the secondary level often have a bad attitude toward reading. This attitude stems from their having developed bad self-images during their elementary school years, and these negative self-images are directly connected with their inability to perform at anticipated levels in the basic skills.

A Survey Of The Use Of Reading Readiness Tests, Marie Carducci-Bolchazy
Reading Horizons: A Journal of Literacy and Language Arts
Reading readiness tests generally are intended to serve two purposes: (1) prediction of readiness for reading instruction and, to a degree, (2) diagnosis of deficiencies of specific skills that are prerequisites for reading. How successful are these tests in serving their purposes?

Expanding The Reading Interests Of Secondary Students, Donald C. Cushenbery
Reading Horizons: A Journal of Literacy and Language Arts
All students encounter various required reading assignments during the course of a school day in the different content areas. The adolescent's attention is also directed to hundreds of other pieces of reading matter which may not be recommended or suggested by teachers or parents. Some students at both the high school and university levels contend that they have no available time for engaging in wide reading since required reading and school activities consume most of their study and leisure-time hours.

Some Implications For Learning Centers, Mark E. Thompson
Reading Horizons: A Journal of Literacy and Language Arts
It should be quite clear from the research evidence that successful students tend to plan their work carefully, think ahead, are conscientious, independent, self-confident and recognize the importance of finding suitable conditions for effective study (Entwistle and Entwistle, 1970). Being able to organize, having a good self-image and being flexible are most important traits for students to have. For students that are handicapped in various ways, there is hope. Students can learn academic skills, if they have a good teacher and work to help themselves.
How Disabled Readers Try To Remember Words, Catherine Morsink, Donald P. Cross, Jane Strickler
How Disabled Readers Try To Remember Words, Catherine Morsink, Donald P. Cross, Jane Strickler
Reading Horizons: A Journal of Literacy and Language Arts
Studies of memory tasks with normal learners, involving letters and word-like patterns, indicate that recall is easier when stimuli present familiar patterns, either as pronounceable syllables (Gibson, 1965) or as contextual dependencies (Miller & Selfridge, 1950). Blumberg (1968), studying associative learning tasks, found brain injured children to have the least difficulty in making associations between visual non-word like stimuli and spoken words, while having greatest difficulty with visual word-like associations. Bakker (1967) reports that severely disabled readers were significantly poorer than better readers in the recall of meaningful, but not meaningless, sequences.

What do you tell the parents of a primary grade child when they ask this age-old question. "How can I help my child be a good reader?" Or what do you say at the next P.T.A. meeting when your principal calls on you to address this question?

Although bibliotherapy has been known and practiced since ancient times, the term itself is of more recent origin. It is generally credited to Samuel McChord Crothers in an article in Atlantic Monthly in 1916. Shrodes (1955) has defined bibliotherapy as "a process of dynamic interaction between the personality of the reader and imaginative literature which may engage his emotions and free them for conscious and productive use." The Association of Hospital and Institution Libraries has adopted as official the dictionary definition which reads . . . "guidance in the solution of personal problems through directed reading." Simply stated bibliotherapy is …

A Comparison Of Underlying Strategies For Improving Reading Comprehension And Retention, Thomas R. Schnell, Daniel J. Rocchio
A Comparison Of Underlying Strategies For Improving Reading Comprehension And Retention, Thomas R. Schnell, Daniel J. Rocchio
Reading Horizons: A Journal of Literacy and Language Arts
Much interest currently exists in topics related to the improvement of learning through such avenues as "mathemagenic activities," and a considerable amount of research has been done recently in the area of visual cueing as a learning enhancement technique. This paper is restricted to a discussion of one visual cueing technique underlining and some implications arising from underlining research.

Measurement Of Teacher Knowledge Of Reading, H.L. Narang
Measurement Of Teacher Knowledge Of Reading, H.L. Narang
Reading Horizons: A Journal of Literacy and Language Arts
The latest trend in teacher education is towards competency- based programs which focus on the specific knowledge, skills, and attitudes that teachers ought to develop in order to perform well on the job. One area of teacher competencies is knowledge of the subject-matter. Cooper (1973) calls this knowledge competency. Several writers have emphasized the mastery of subject-matter as an important component in teacher preparation. Bush (1954) says that students like teachers whom they regard as high in knowledge of subject; and pupil liking of teachers is related to pupil liking for the subject. Miller and Miller (1971) asked school adminstrators …

Educators bemoan reading readiness, reading curiosity, reading skills on the part of their students. Some segments of the society blame the electronic media and limply rationalize that nothing can be done about a deplorable situation.
The Reading Field Agent: A Model For The Diagnostic Teaching Of Teachers, Jack Cassidy
The Reading Field Agent: A Model For The Diagnostic Teaching Of Teachers, Jack Cassidy
Reading Horizons: A Journal of Literacy and Language Arts
Diagnostic teaching with all its ramifications is one of the trends in education which has had profound implications for the field of reading. Unfortunately, too much of the emphasis has been on diagnosis and not enough on teaching. Teachers are constantly bombarded with new tests diagnostic, criterion referenced, etc. all of which are reputed to accurately pinpoint the reading needs of all students. Many of the results of these measures are at best tenuous: the fact that a well trained teacher is the best diagnostician is one fact that is often ignored in any implementation of diagnostic teaching.

Professional Concerns, R. Baird Shuman, Billie Jo Rieck
Reading Horizons: A Journal of Literacy and Language Arts
Because most states now require that all prospective teachers must have formal instruction in the teaching of reading in order to qualify for certification, the reading teacher must be prepared (1) to justify the requirement and (2) to teach the sort of course which will be valuable to students in a broad diversity of subject areas. In the article which follows. Professor Billie Jo Rieck of West Liberty State College in West Liberty, West Virginia offers a workable method for presenting the required course in the teaching of reading to the broad variety of students who pass through it.

Reading Expectancy Formulae--Strengths And Limitations To Be Considered, Beverly Hooper
Reading Expectancy Formulae--Strengths And Limitations To Be Considered, Beverly Hooper
Reading Horizons: A Journal of Literacy and Language Arts
Reading expectancy formulae and intelligence tests are two instruments with which the reading teacher is very familiar. However, the designs of both reading expectancy formulae and intelligence tests have incorporated various strengths and limitations into each. When the two are combined to determine a child's level of expectancy, much distortion in prediction may occur if careful selection and evaluation of these instruments are not executed. A critical look at the popular reading expectancy formulae and related use of intelligence tests will show that there are beneficial uses of reading expectancy formula in general but that there are also valid reasons …
Initiating Assessment Of Student Needs In Content Areas, Jerry L. Johns
Initiating Assessment Of Student Needs In Content Areas, Jerry L. Johns
Reading Horizons: A Journal of Literacy and Language Arts
As students move through the elementary grades they encounter more and more reading in the content areas: social studies, science, mathematics, and English. Most teachers are aware of the burden that vocabulary and concept load place upon each student's ability to understand what he/she has read. Although teachers usually group students according to reading ability to facilitate basal reading instruction, there is often little or no effort expended to meet individual or group reading needs in the content areas. One reason for this neglect may be that teachers lack systematic ways of assessing students' mastery of the technical vocabulary in …
