Teaching Reading In The Secondary School: "The Fine Art Of Motivation", Kenneth Vandermeulen
Reading Horizons: A Journal of Literacy and Language Arts
The most significant thing about motivation is that it is an intangible element in education. Its presence may only be sensed by the teacher. It does not come in units like ohms, ergs, decibels, or ounces. We're not even sure that its absence can be detected by objective measuring devices. Teachers, therefore, spend much less time studying and discussing motivation than they do in talking about programs, machines, testing instruments, and evaluation. The term motivation is frequently used by promotional representatives in describing an educational item on the market; the practice is much like the use of the term fidelity …

Using Teacher Observation For Diagnosing Reading Problems, Wilma H. Miller, Ottilie Womack
Using Teacher Observation For Diagnosing Reading Problems, Wilma H. Miller, Ottilie Womack
Reading Horizons: A Journal of Literacy and Language Arts
This article discusses the values of using teacher observation as a diagnostic technique and illustrates how a teacher can be more effective in the diagnosis of reading problems. The article discusses using cumulative records and several different types of checklists as useful aids to teacher observation. Some of the checklists discussed are extremely valuable in locating a child's specific reading difficulties, but are not widely known by many elementary teachers.
A List Of Basic Sight Words For Older Disabled Readers, Jerry L. Johns
A List Of Basic Sight Words For Older Disabled Readers, Jerry L. Johns
Reading Horizons: A Journal of Literacy and Language Arts
The Dolch basic sight vocabulary of 220 words has generally been recognized by reading authorities as a valuable asset to reading instruction. Research by Dolch (1941), Fry (1960), and Zintz (1966) and Johns (in press) has shown that the 220 words comprising the Dolch list represent 50 to 75 per cent of all school reading matter in the elementary grades. According to Dolch, these 220 words are recognized instantly by good second-grade readers and by average third-grade readers.

The effects of speed reading courses have been widely researched (cf. Berger, 1968). Stevens and Orem (1963) have suggested that the superior reader entering such a course with a more rapid reading rate, is an average or above average student, and likes to read. Rauch and Weinstein (1968) and Combs (1966) stress "read, read, read" as the best method for gaining speed. However, the National Association of Secondary School principals (1965) has warned that speed and comprehension do not necessarily go hand-in-hand, a finding which challenged earlier research by O'Brien (1921). A study of Air Force personnel (Brim, 1968) suggests …

Reading Tests Don't Really Tell It Like It Is, George D. Masters
Reading Horizons: A Journal of Literacy and Language Arts
Reading, at one time the hallmark of the educated man, is now the bugbear of the modem school. In other ages it was recognized that there were some children who didn't want to read, never wanted to read, and never would want to read. Today, such a student is spurred, goaded, and hounded till he either learns to read for self preservation, drops out of school, or confronted with failure, lets the world see the only R's he has learned, the wrong R's-resistance, rejection, and rebellion.

Reading Horizons: A Journal of Literacy and Language Arts
Thus begins Poe's most famous poem, The Raven, which from its first publication in 1845 had an immediate and wide success such as no American poem had ever achieved. While the entire poem carries an air of inevitability-of the perfect wording that has to be as it is for my part I find none of it so unforgettable as those opening lines. Perhaps that may be simply because it is the beginning, but I hardly think so. Rather, for me it is a demonstration of how a rhythmical combination of harmonious words can charm us into belief in factitious imagery …

Who Said Three Is A Crowd?, Dorothy L. Bladt, Joe Chapel, Sara R. Swickard
Reading Horizons: A Journal of Literacy and Language Arts
The education of American children appears to be at crisis stage in the nation today. Turmoil and confusion about what to teach, to whom and where, reflect the general concerns of a society in the midst of a social and economic re-evaluation process. Voters are rejecting pleas to support a public school system which many feel is failing in its role as educator to all children. Perhaps nowhere else is the criticism felt so sharply as in the area of reading instruction. Because so many pupils leave the elementary school and even the senior high school with less than adequate …

Teaching A Basic Sight Word Vocabulary, Marge Staten
Reading Horizons: A Journal of Literacy and Language Arts
In diagnosing reading ability, the analysis should include an investigation of the subject's knowledge of basic words commonly familiar in most children's oral-aural vocabulary. Likewise, any beginning reading instruction program should include some help in learning commonly used words, since these compose a large part of the vocabulary of many reading series and other printed material.

Reading Horizons: A Journal of Literacy and Language Arts
Many texts and articles discussing the matter of teaching reading on the secondary level recommend the establishment of reading programs which involve all members of the high school staff. Frequently, authors of such works on originating and developing reading programs will go into great detail about the ways in which committees may be given areas of concern, methods of self-evaluation, and each step to be achieved. Each stage of progress will be named and described with fine elaboration.

Reading Horizons: A Journal of Literacy and Language Arts
On the front of a handout by our principal, I found these words in bold black print, "MORE IMPORTANT THAN CLASS SIZE." Immediately, I wondered what could possibly be more important than class size. Reading on I found that new research, concerned with the quality of our education system, had just been completed by Martin N. Olson, Executive Secretary of the Associated Public Schools Systems and a research associate with the Institute of Administrative Research (IAR). This one short article started me on a search for a copy of his study.

"A job for everyone and everyone with a job." If each child in your classroom is to work up to his full potential, this adage applies to the students in your classroom and to anyone who offers you volunteer help, the same way it applies to efficiency in business.
