Turning Kids On To Language, Robert D. Hughes Jan 1976

Turning Kids On To Language, Robert D. Hughes

Reading Horizons: A Journal of Literacy and Language Arts

One of the great problems we face as teachers is how to get kids interested in whatever it is that we want to teach them. Whether it is reading, writing, math, social studies, we know that the key to teaching success is motivation. "If we could just get them involved, we could teach them."

Updating The Dolch Basic Sight Vocabulary, Jerry L. Johns

Reading Horizons: A Journal of Literacy and Language Arts

Word lists for reading instruction have long been of interest to educators. It has been noted by Johnson and Barrett (16) that over 125 word lists have been constructed during the past seventy years. Of these many word lists, there is little doubt that the Dolch list has received widest publication and use. Authors of texbooks on the teaching of reading (1, 8, 18, 23) have made reference to the Dolch list with suggestions for teaching the words. In addition, many reading materials have been developed to help teach these words in isolation and in context. Books have been written …

How Johnny Can't Learn, Howard G. Ball Jan 1976

How Johnny Can't Learn, Howard G. Ball

Reading Horizons: A Journal of Literacy and Language Arts

Johnny's learning problems have troubled his parents and haunted his teachers since the first group of students met in the pervasive "little red schoolhouse." Because of Johnny's academic inadequacies, his teachers are admonished by public officials; teachers censure Johnny's parents; Johnny's parents criticize his lack of motivation, capability or interest; and Johnny, through his frustrations, condemns all society for its insensitivity and lack of understanding. This description includes the Johnny who is black. This Johnny responds to his society in a similar way, but his problems are more intense. His relationships with his environment are more complex. His learning problems …

Pupilization Of The Instructional Program, Delores Warner Jan 1976

Pupilization Of The Instructional Program, Delores Warner

Reading Horizons: A Journal of Literacy and Language Arts

In order to achieve learning there must be a climate which encourages internalization of that which is being taught. This necessitates a consistently intimate relationship between the teacher and the pupils, which makes possible growth in curiosity, exploration, discovery and internalization of that knowledge as well as readiness and confidence for the implementation of that knowledge in other learning situations. In this way, the pupil actually uses that which he has learned in order to learn more, thus promoting the development of a unity encompassing teacher and pupil within the learning process and the learning experiences in which both participate.

The Individual Student Resource Unit, Reading And The Curriculum, John E. Merritt Jan 1976

The Individual Student Resource Unit, Reading And The Curriculum, John E. Merritt

Reading Horizons: A Journal of Literacy and Language Arts

In reading for information our needs are often of a relatively transient kind. We look in our newspapers in order to find out what is on television tonight, we consult a specialised magazine in order to find out something about a carpet, a car, or a camera which we are thinking of buying next week, or we may, perhaps consult a geography text book in order to get relevant information about some area in which we are proposing to live. This paper, however, is primarily concerned with the information which we may want to remember for longer periods.

Echoes From The Field, Ernie Adams

Reading Horizons: A Journal of Literacy and Language Arts

Close observers of successful football coaches suggest that one phrase describes Woody Hayes, Darrell Royal, Bear Bryant, and John McKay. It is a simple phrase - "commitment to fundamentals." Their teams always seem to block with excellence, tackle with unmatched aggression and run like a scared ape trying to elude his mother-in-law.

I would like to do three things: first, share with you a picture of libraries as they are now developing programs and planning for tomorrow's needs; present some specific examples of library services which relate to reading needs; finally, explore some examples of today's reading materials which I hope you as reading specialists either know about or with which you will become familiar, and which you and your clientele can obtain through library collections.

Evaluating Prospective Teachers Of Reading In Cbte, Richard Allington Oct 1975

Evaluating Prospective Teachers Of Reading In Cbte, Richard Allington

Reading Horizons: A Journal of Literacy and Language Arts

Competency based teacher education (CBTE) curricula are being considered or developed by at least half of the state education departments according to a survey by the American Association of Colleges for Teacher Education (Andrews, 1972).1 Coupled with this is the development of an increasing number of competency based reading methods courses and curricula. Those working on the development of these programs, quickly become aware of the problems encountered when attempting to combine theory and practice. Solving problems of identifying competencies, timebased curricula, grading, faculty teaching load, etc., at times seems overwhelming. However, a single issue in CBTE involves each area …

Four Strategies For Teaching Reading In Content Areas, R. Baird Shuman

Reading Horizons: A Journal of Literacy and Language Arts

Despite all that has been written about the teaching of reading in the content areas, and despite the existence of books such as Herber's Teaching Reading in Content Areas (Englewood Cliffs, N. J.: Prentice Hall, 1970), Laffey's Reading in the Content Areas (Newark, Delaware: International Reading Association, 1972), and Robinson and Thomas' Fusing Reading Skills and Content (Newark, Delaware: International Reading Association, 1969), most secondary school teachers in the content areas still feel inadequate to teach reading and, even though they acknowledge the existence of a substantial reading program among their

Reading Horizons: A Journal of Literacy and Language Arts

In 1954 Rudolf Flesch wrote a book published by Harper and Brothers that caused an upheaval in homes and public schools throughout America. His book Why Johnny Can't Read is referred to as an angry book by an aroused parent. The conclusion drawn by Dr. Flesch as to why Johnny can't read is that "nobody ever showed him how" (Flesch, 1965, p. 2).

Reading Programs In The Secondary School: A Checklist For Evaluation, H.L. Narang

Reading Horizons: A Journal of Literacy and Language Arts

Reading is a fundamental skill necessary for success in school. (It is also important for preparation for college and for vocation). Every job whether in the home, school, office, factory or farm requires some type of reading. For an effective participation in a democratic society reading is all the more important for every citizen. Of course, even for pleasure and entertainment reading has certain unique advantages over other media because the reader is free from outside control or pressure, in terms of choosing his material, time and place to read. In short, competence in reading is essential for success and …

Field Based Teacher Education Promise Or Problem, Mary Jane Gray

Reading Horizons: A Journal of Literacy and Language Arts

One of the most widely advocated recommendations for improving the teaching of methods courses is to put them in an elementary school setting. This should help to ensure that practice is related to theory. Although this is very desirable some questions arise concerning the organization and implementation of such a program.

Using The Child's Oral Language In Beginning Reading Instruction, Alden J. Moe Oct 1975

Using The Child's Oral Language In Beginning Reading Instruction, Alden J. Moe

Reading Horizons: A Journal of Literacy and Language Arts

Reading should be considered a continuation of the language acquisition process and as such the early reading instruction, including pre-reading literary experiences, must build upon the language acquired in the pre-school years. As with oral language, in reading also, the child must discover the theory of his language and he must do so with relatively small amounts of data about his language. In the process of acquiring oral language in the pre-school years, the child must mimic, try out, and accept or reject his new information. In reading, the process is the same except that the learning may be structured …
