Teaching Reading In The Secondary Schools, Kenneth Vandermeulen

Reading Horizons: A Journal of Literacy and Language Arts

Recently, a report of an accrediting inspection team in Illinois contained this ironic statement (adapted here) : Teachers in this high school tend to be so highly specialized in their disciplines that they have moved from the affective domain to the cognitive domain almost exclusively, thereby vitiating their educational endeavors. This article sees the establishment of habits of reading for pleasure as a means of avoiding such criticism of our schools, and as a direct means of building upon an elusive quality called creativity.

Two Effective In-Service Reading Programs, Nicholas P. Criscuolo Jul 1972

Two Effective In-Service Reading Programs, Nicholas P. Criscuolo

Reading Horizons: A Journal of Literacy and Language Arts

In-service opportunities are given to secondary teachers in the New Haven public schools twice a month. On alternate Mondays students are released at 1 p.m., and teachers remain at their schools for in-service work. Such flexibility in scheduling permits the development of effective in-service education, and it is the purpose of this article to describe two programs in reading conducted recently in New Haven: one at the high school level and another at the middle school level.

Junior College Reading Problems, Terri Bruce Apr 1972

Junior College Reading Problems, Terri Bruce

Reading Horizons: A Journal of Literacy and Language Arts

Junior or community college reading programs are one of the areas most open for innovation. The two-year college itself is still a relatively new concept and reading programs designed to fit the still evolving function of these schools offer the reading specialist both freedom and frustrations. To date, I have taught reading courses at a junior college which was affiliated with a university and at a community college with an open door policy. In the first instance, the courses were offered through the continuing education department and dealt largely with marginal admittance students. Presently I am within the English department …

From The Page To The Mind, Louis Foley Apr 1972

From The Page To The Mind, Louis Foley

Reading Horizons: A Journal of Literacy and Language Arts

A remarkable French book which deals comprehensively with the different aspects of reading is La Lisibilite by Frangois Richaudeau, published in Paris by Denoel-Gontier in 1969. The title of this book immediately brings up a common problem in translation. Every serious student of language knows that very frequently the corresponding or supposedly equivalent words in different languages do not have quite the same meaning. While they may have considerable basic relationship, one may cover more or less ground than the other, and they do not come to the idea from the same angle of approach.


Children And Poetry, Marion Hilberry Apr 1972

Children And Poetry, Marion Hilberry

Reading Horizons: A Journal of Literacy and Language Arts

How do you get children to write poetry? For several years my husband and I have been interested in finding an answer to this question. As college teachers we have been particularly concerned about the numbers of good students who come to us reluctant to either write or read poetry. Our theory w-as that children at any age will take to poetry if they can be encouraged to make some poems themselves and to talk easily about the poems. This will lead, in turn, to their enjoyment of other poetry and all imaginative literature.

Reading In The Secondary Schools, Kenneth Vandermeulen Apr 1972

Reading In The Secondary Schools, Kenneth Vandermeulen

Reading Horizons: A Journal of Literacy and Language Arts

In a great many high schools, teachers are finding that their students' inability to comprehend the textbook at grade level is becoming an increasingly serious problem. Frequently, these teachers state, reading the text with adequate understanding is "out of the question" for many of their students. High school administrators are looking for ways to set up special classes or institute remedial reading programs in order to solve what appears to be a growing reading problem. Upon closer examination, teachers and administrators may find that, for a large proportion of these reading problems, insufficient vocabulary plays a large causal role. They …

Reading In The Secondary Schools, Kenneth Vandermeulen Jan 1972

Reading In The Secondary Schools, Kenneth Vandermeulen

Reading Horizons: A Journal of Literacy and Language Arts

One of the shortcomings in a consideration of the idea of study is the fact that it is defined in various ways in the minds of various teachers. The weakest notion of the word would be demonstrated in a teacher's assignment that said "study the next ten pages for tomorrow" and said nothing else. In all likelihood, students would under stand it to mean read the pages mentioned. An assignment which means "a process involving the acquisition of knowledge" from these pages would have to be accompanied by a guide sheet to point out the expected learnings and the supporting …

Lend An Ear To Poetry, Charles Smith Jan 1972

Lend An Ear To Poetry, Charles Smith

Reading Horizons: A Journal of Literacy and Language Arts

It seems to me as I read much of contemporary poetry that there is in it less and less of any appeal to a sophisticated ear for the nuances of sound. To all intents and purposes the poet apparently assumes that his reader is tone deaf. In fact, to all intents and purposes the poet seems to be tone deaf too. The rhetorical effects involve only the sense of sight; they are imagery in the most restricted sense of the word. (Both in poetry and in life man, of course, has always neglected any development of or appeal to the …


Meeting Individual Differences In Reading, Ronald G. Noland Jan 1972

Meeting Individual Differences In Reading, Ronald G. Noland

Reading Horizons: A Journal of Literacy and Language Arts

Perhaps the most complex as well as the most important task con fronting the teacher is adjusting instruction to meet the individual differences of students in activities related to reading. It is an ever present problem at all grade levels. For effective progress in learning to read, the teacher must organize the class and instructional procedures so that each child has the opportunity to achieve up to his capacity, albeit it is not his grade level.


The Comprehension Dilemma, Tom Rakes Jan 1972

The Comprehension Dilemma, Tom Rakes

Reading Horizons: A Journal of Literacy and Language Arts

The term "comprehension" has become a "catch all" item. If a student is failing in school, his teacher will probably tell you that he does not comprehend what he reads. In addition, the teacher may mention that the student gets more from just listening than he does from reading. Another teacher will tell you that a student reads well in his social studies book but cannot quite figure out his math problems. Yet another teacher will tell you that one of her students comprehends when there are pictures on the page but take the pictures away and the student is …
