Is Lip Movement Really So Bad?, Blanche Phyllis Zink Jan 1969

Is Lip Movement Really So Bad?, Blanche Phyllis Zink

Reading Horizons: A Journal of Literacy and Language Arts

Few issues concerned with the complex art of teaching reading have remained controversial for as long as the topic of lip movement during silent reading. Educators do not seem to be in agreement concerning this phenomenon which most teachers in the elementary school have observed. Some reading specialists support the theory that lip movement may be an aid to comprehension in the lower grades, but that it may be a deterrent to comprehension in the intermediate grades. Other specialists, who are equally gifted in the diagnosing and handling of reading problems, feel that lip movement is a desirable, developmental learning …


Case Studies Of The Influence Of Reading On Adolescents, Fehl L. Shirley Jan 1969

Case Studies Of The Influence Of Reading On Adolescents, Fehl L. Shirley

Reading Horizons: A Journal of Literacy and Language Arts

In a study of the impact of reading on the concepts, attitudes, and behavior of adolescents, it was found that students exhibited varying responses from ambiguous, general, indifferent reactions to highly significant dimensions of self-involvement. Some subjects stated that no specific selection had influenced their concepts, attitudes or behavior; the responses of these students were frequently vague and appeared to disclose an indifferent attitude toward reading. On the other hand, the verbalizations of others appeared to reveal empathy and intense participation in their reading which, sometimes, led to reoriented goals and actions implementing these goals.

Now in its third year, the Kalamazoo County Reading Therapists Organization is meeting four times during the current school year. The members of the group are full-time reading teachers, most of whom are involved in federally funded reading programs or teach under the state reimbursable programs. The organization, which now has members from all of the school districts in the county, was formed as a vehicle for the sharing of ideas and methods and the discussion of current issues of interest to remedial reading teachers. The organization has been enthusiastically accepted and supported by the county reading therapists.

Grammar With Grace, Louis Foley

Reading Horizons: A Journal of Literacy and Language Arts

In the field of education it has been assumed that raising the educational level of teachers is directly related to the improvement of pupil achievement. Metzner, in the October issue of Phi Delta Kappan~ discredits this assumption when he points out that, "Regardless of what criteria are used, the irrelevance of the amount of teacher training to teaching success becomes increasingly evident the more one consults the pertinent research." In substantiating this statement he cites seventeen apparently well-designed and controlled investigations.

Reading Around The World, Wilhelmina Faunce

Reading Horizons: A Journal of Literacy and Language Arts

Several years ago while driving through Scotland, I saw boys and girls neatly dressed in their school uniforms with book-bags over their shoulders, obviously on their way to school. The thought occurred to me that it would be very interesting to know how children in other parts of the world were being taught. This year when my husband was invited to direct an alumni world tour during the spring term, I decided this was the chance of a lifetime to incorporate into the trip a study in comparative education.

Lingual Deviation, Visual Perception, And Reading Achievement, Dolores Warner

Reading Horizons: A Journal of Literacy and Language Arts

Progress in reading instruction depends to a great extent on perception and cognition. Perception depends upon the performance of sensory organs, quality of the circumstances attendant to the act of perception and the attitudes and predisposition of the perceiver which affect the quality of his perceptual performance.

The principal has a vital interest in the reading program in today's school. The complexity of our social order, coupled with parental anxiety about reading, has forced the principal to become deeply involved in a knowledge of the purposes and techniques of reading instruction. More than ever before the community wants to know what happens in its school.

Did You See?, Dorothy J. Mcginnis

Reading Horizons: A Journal of Literacy and Language Arts

"Reading Expectancy Fonnulas: A Warning Note" by George A. Simmons and Bernard J. Shapiro? The authors state that a major problem in remedial reading programs is the identification of the disabled reader. Reading expectancy formulas have been proposed as one way to solve this problem. A comparison of three of these formulas revealed that reading expectancy is not an absolute concept but is highly relative to the specific method used to determine it. The authors conclude that such formulas can be misleading if used as more than a rough indicator of reading expectancy. The article appears in the May 1968 …

Passing Sentence On Sentences, Louis Foley Jul 1968

Passing Sentence On Sentences, Louis Foley

Reading Horizons: A Journal of Literacy and Language Arts

In his book, The Art of Plain Talk, Mr. Rudolf Flesch makes many assertions which seem convincingly plausible on the face of them, but which prove to be oversimplifications or plain distortions of fact if one troubles to look beneath the surface. Good examples are the comparisons he is fond of drawing between English and other languages. He tells us, for instance, that Modern Persian "has done away with articles," and admires that as "exactly the same simplification [that] is being used today by our headline writers." Now of course the telegraphic style of newspaper headlines serves its purpose well …
