Procedures For Determining Children's Book Choices: Comparison And Criticism, Carol Lynch-Brown Jul 1977

Procedures For Determining Children's Book Choices: Comparison And Criticism, Carol Lynch-Brown

Reading Horizons: A Journal of Literacy and Language Arts

Near the end of the nineteenth century the scientific investigation into children's interests first emerged. Since then many studies have been carried out to determine children's reading interests. The procedures chosen for the collection of data have been almost as multitudinous as the studies. Equally important, the kind of information one obtains may depend to a large degree on the data collection procedure selected. The central purpose of this study was to compare results obtained from two methods of data collection used to evaluate children's reading interests.

Learning Basic (Reading) Skills K-12, Denny T. Wolfe Jr. Apr 1977

Learning Basic (Reading) Skills K-12, Denny T. Wolfe Jr.

Reading Horizons: A Journal of Literacy and Language Arts

Seldom in the history of American education has an issue received more public attention than the reading question is receiving today. Such an abiding concern about a basic skill is almost ironic in view of the fact that the last several decades have brought a flood of "innovations" in curriculum design and approaches to instruction. Prominent figures such as John Holt, Herbert Kohl, Neil Postman, Charles Weingartner, William Glasser, Ivan Illich, Carl Rogers, Alvin Toffler, and many more have called continually for radical school reform. "Relevance" and "change" have been by-words in virtually every piece of recent literature pertaining to …

An Assessment Of Phonics Knowledge In Special Education Teachers, Gay Goodman, Brad Hammond Apr 1977

An Assessment Of Phonics Knowledge In Special Education Teachers, Gay Goodman, Brad Hammond

Reading Horizons: A Journal of Literacy and Language Arts

In recent years, much attention has been given to the phonics skills of teachers and prospective teachers. Beginning in the early 60's with Aaron (1960), Gagon (1960), and The Torch Lighter: Tomorrow's Teachers of Reading (Austin & Morrison, 1961), it was noted that teacher training programs were deficient in the area of phonics training, and that, resultantly, prospective teachers showed a deficit in their knowledge of phonics. These results have been upheld by Ramsey (1962), Schubert (1962), and Spache and Baggett (1965), all of whom found that experienced teachers and/or prospective teachers showed a marked deficit in the basic phonics …

Media Technologies For The Reading Teacher, Camille Blachowicz Apr 1977

Media Technologies For The Reading Teacher, Camille Blachowicz

Reading Horizons: A Journal of Literacy and Language Arts

The McLuhan age posed a special problem for teachers of reading. Realizing the power of non-print as an educational tool, they have had to search for the best ways to use media to strengthen, not detract from, the developing literacy of their students. Often this difficulty, as well as the expense of materials or the poor quality of available software have turned the "media revolution" into something less than a skirmish in many classrooms and schools.


Cross-Age Tutoring And The Sacrosanct Reading Period, Jack Cassidy Apr 1977

Cross-Age Tutoring And The Sacrosanct Reading Period, Jack Cassidy

Reading Horizons: A Journal of Literacy and Language Arts

Cross- age tutoring in the elementary school has long been recognized as a valid means of learning for both the tutor and the tutee; (Frager & Stern, 1970). Many studies even show that the tutors make greater gains than the tutees, (Cloward, 1967). Like many validated educational innovations, however, cross- age tutoring is not practiced to any great extent in the schools, particularly the elementary schools. One of the main reasons for this is that tutoring is difficult to fit into the regular school program. Reading, writing, social studies, math, science, health, etc., all seem to fill the day of …


The Impact Of Mainstreaming On Pre-Service Reading Education, Neila Pettit, Richard D. Robinson Apr 1977

The Impact Of Mainstreaming On Pre-Service Reading Education, Neila Pettit, Richard D. Robinson

Reading Horizons: A Journal of Literacy and Language Arts

Mainstreaming is a complex phenomenon that reaches far beyond placing children in regular classes. Special education people are advocating a mainstreaming process as it applies to exceptional or handicapped students. But mainstreaming should be considered as a new delivery system which can be a potent vehicle to bring about major curriculum and systems changes in American education. In fact, the new delivery system en compassed in mainstreaming seems to be the tip of an iceberg that touches all aspects of the educational process.


Children's Literature And The Classroom Teacher, Lucetta A. Johnson Apr 1977

Children's Literature And The Classroom Teacher, Lucetta A. Johnson

Reading Horizons: A Journal of Literacy and Language Arts

The elementary teacher may well ask why teach children's literature when each day's schedule is already crowded with mathematics, reading, spelling, English, science, social studies, physical education, art, music, values, career awareness, and all subjects that come under these broad headings. This article will suggest some ways that children's literature can be used in the elementary curriculum to achieve reading goals that improve on traditional reading programs. Children's literature in no way replaces these programs, rather, it extends and enriches the reading curriculum while encouraging positive reading attitudes.

On Teaching Reading And Writing For Functional Literacy, Solomon Ogbodum Unoh Jan 1977

On Teaching Reading And Writing For Functional Literacy, Solomon Ogbodum Unoh

Reading Horizons: A Journal of Literacy and Language Arts

The teaching of reading and writing can be approached from various angles, and with varying degrees of emphasis. Teaching reading and writing to primary school children is not the same as teaching reading and writing to illiterate adults, minimally literate adults, secondary and college students, and university students. True, certain fundamental principles have to be observed in all these teaching-learning situations but there are basic differences in aims, in ability to learn and so forth, which have to be taken into account. In this article, the teaching of reading and writing will be discussed with particular reference to the achievement …

Skill-Referenced Instruction For Disabled Readers: Guidelines And Cautions, Catherine Morsink Jan 1977

Skill-Referenced Instruction For Disabled Readers: Guidelines And Cautions, Catherine Morsink

Reading Horizons: A Journal of Literacy and Language Arts

Early in the development of learning disability programs, the terms reading disability and dyslexia were widely used to describe the problem of a child who had extreme difficulty in learning to decode printed words (Jastak and Jastak, 1965), despite conventional educational opportunity (Money, 1962) and apparent capacity to learn (Bateman, 1964). Reading disability was further distinguished from simple reading difficulty by its severity and its duration, with resultant need for highly specialized treat ment over a long period of time (Rabinovitch, 1962).


Professional Concerns: Reading Comprehension And Essay Writing, R. Baird Shuman, Glenda C. Petrini Jan 1977

Professional Concerns: Reading Comprehension And Essay Writing, R. Baird Shuman, Glenda C. Petrini

Reading Horizons: A Journal of Literacy and Language Arts

Glenda C. Petrini, a Social Studies teacher at Thoreau Intermediate School in Vienna, Virginia, had tried for five years to teach the inquiry method to her students before she tried using reading skills as a vehicle for the comprehension of inquiry. In her article which follows, Ms. Petrini tells how she used the knowledge which she gained of reading skills to instruct her students in ways that would significantly strengthen their essay writing. Ms. Petrini presents convincing evidence that the teaching of reading and the teaching of writing can be combined very effectively.
