But How Does It Sound?, Louis Foley Apr 1970

But How Does It Sound?, Louis Foley

Reading Horizons: A Journal of Literacy and Language Arts

In preparing for an eventual business or professional career, there is one basically important area which appears to be largely overlooked. Educators everywhere are perennially concerned with methods or devices for improving the teaching of reading, which is generally accepted as the most useful of all "tools" for continued learning. Prominent people in business and industry emphasize the importance of "communication," which is usually understood to be in the form of writing. Little attention seems to be given, however, to the elemental skill without which reading and writing must rest on a weak foundation: the ability to speak well. Schools …


Training Developmental Reading Teachers-A Proposal, David J. Yarington Apr 1970

Training Developmental Reading Teachers-A Proposal, David J. Yarington

Reading Horizons: A Journal of Literacy and Language Arts

Many "how to study" courses, courses for training developmental reading teachers and books on the subject are merely inspirational and moralistic when they should be more realistic or relevant (a word that is becoming an irrelevant word) to the real world of school. Study habits and skills teach students to jump through hoops, most of which should not be there at all. Or, in other words, hoops which tend to stifle attitudes and negate their original purposes, i.e., standardized tests. One encounters the frustrations of either trying to change the entire system or teaching students how to beat the system. …

Echoes From The Field, Joe R. Chapel, Ronald A. Crowell

Reading Horizons: A Journal of Literacy and Language Arts

One of the most valid criticisms of traditional teacher training programs is the inability to place students in actual practice teaching situations at a time in their training when the experience would be most meaningful. Often the student takes a class in the methods of teaching reading in his sophomore or junior year and then does not make any application of this learning until the last part of his senior year when student teaching takes place. Even though many classes in education encourage visitation and observation, the experience is sporadic and incomplete.

A Look At Linguistic Readers, Nicholas P. Criscuolo

Reading Horizons: A Journal of Literacy and Language Arts

Linguistics, as it relates to reading, has generated much interest lately among educators. Although linguistics is not a new science, its recent focus has captured the interest of the reading specialist because both the specialist and the linguist are concerned with language.


The Reading Therapist And Parent Conference, Betty L. Hagberg Apr 1970

The Reading Therapist And Parent Conference, Betty L. Hagberg

Reading Horizons: A Journal of Literacy and Language Arts

Parent conferences are vital and can play a decisive role in the success of the remedial reading program. As the reading therapist confers with parents he has the opportunity to explain the nature of the corrective program and also the particular remediation being provided for their child. This encourages the parents to an understanding of both the program and the child's reading problem. The therapist also gains a better concept of the whole child, the emotional atmosphere of the family, and the total home environment as it relates to the child's reading problem. Ultimately and of greatest importance are the …

A Plan To Improve Reading Instruction For The Superior Student In First Grade, Jo Ann Nieuwkoop Jan 1970

A Plan To Improve Reading Instruction For The Superior Student In First Grade, Jo Ann Nieuwkoop

Reading Horizons: A Journal of Literacy and Language Arts

Teachers often become so concerned about children who are having difficulty that the needs of the superior students are neglected. Bright students often learn early to work independently; because of this, teachers "put them on their own." All of the students in the classroom need guidance in their development, but good readers need a different kind of guidance than that required for the average or slow learners. It is important for superior students to develop and mature physically, emotionally, socially as well as mentally so that they may become well developed personalities who will be better able to make worthwhile …

Two years ago a group of reading teachers at the college level met for the purpose of discussing current problems in helping college students read better. As a result of this meeting, the Michigan College Reading Association was established. The basic purpose of the organization is to serve as a channel of communication between people in the field so that members can get acquainted, discuss ongoing programs, exchange ideas and information, and investigate issues of mutual concern. Through this association members hope to encourage reading programs at the college level as well as to improve their own programs and teaching …

A Multi-Media Approach To Reading, Lucetta A. Johnson Jan 1970

A Multi-Media Approach To Reading, Lucetta A. Johnson

Reading Horizons: A Journal of Literacy and Language Arts

As a new teacher in the Allegan Public Schools one of the primary goals for the year was to present reading activities to the children in as many interesting ways as possible to enrich their reading experiences. A multi-media approach was chosen to accomplish this goal and to encourage the children to love books. By multi-media approach (1) is meant an approach that uses as many printed and audiovisual forms of communication as possible. The program used consisted of the following media, which are by no means all that are currently available: Basal Readers, Library Books, Film Strips, Educational Television, …

Reading Readiness, Dorothy E. Smith, Joe R. Chapel Jan 1970

Reading Readiness, Dorothy E. Smith, Joe R. Chapel

Reading Horizons: A Journal of Literacy and Language Arts

One of the most difficult tasks facing the kindergarten or first grade teacher is to recognize the degree of readiness to read which her young students have attained by the time they face her on that first September morning. A great deal has been written on the subject of reading readiness, which is as it should be, since it is so important a subject. However, much that has been written is inaccurate, and most of it is incomplete.
