Why Waste Our Time On The Culturally Deprived?, Pat Houseman Jul 1968

Why Waste Our Time On The Culturally Deprived?, Pat Houseman

Reading Horizons: A Journal of Literacy and Language Arts

Why should we waste our time with the culturally deprived student? Yes, I said waste. When a child is in our charge for at least ten years of his life and at the end of this time cannot function as a productive member of society, then we have wasted not only our time but also his time. We have wasted our energies, money, and talents. There is a tragic waste of human potential. What can we do to end this waste? How can we prepare the culturally deprived child to live in our complex world?

Is It New?, Hazel Askin Apr 1968

Is It New?, Hazel Askin

Reading Horizons: A Journal of Literacy and Language Arts

Education by hard, cold definition is a drawing, or leading out process-a growing into, from the Latin verb "educo." It would seem then, on the surface anyway, that any process or technique for teaching of reading or any other part of the curriculum would have been a gradual outgrowth of preceding techniques, philosophies or procedures. When news media and public communications systems, therefore, douse a reading and viewing public with buckets of intellectual baptism purported to be new and revolutionary, it would seem advisable for professional people to become acquainted with factual backgrounds of these so-called "new" techniques before becoming …

Promoting Appreciation For Literature, James A. Wright Apr 1968

Promoting Appreciation For Literature, James A. Wright

Reading Horizons: A Journal of Literacy and Language Arts

To accept the notion "A love of good reading is more likely to be caught than taught," 1 is to contradict the claim "good books must be introduced to pupils in ways which help them to read with increasing ability to analyze and interpret and evaluate." Such a notion is also contrary to the statement, "The only ceiling on effective ways of bringing books and people together is the creative imagination of the adult who is the guide." Yet, these three quotes are taken from the same article-the first and third quotes having been juxtaposed and classified as a summary …

The Disadvantaged Child And His Problems With Regard To Reading, Joseph B. Tremonti Apr 1968

The Disadvantaged Child And His Problems With Regard To Reading, Joseph B. Tremonti

Reading Horizons: A Journal of Literacy and Language Arts

One of the most fashionable topics for discussion among educators today is the problem of the education of the culturally deprived child. The few people trying to understand this child have given him a name, not a satisfactory name, but a name; they call him C( culturally deprived." What defines him is not an absence of money or nice clothes or good furniture or cars or food, although all these objects are usually lacking. These children suffer from poverty of experience. Perhaps their lives are rich with experience their teachers know nothing about. But they are growing up unequipped to …

And It Happened To Me, Joe R. Chapel

Reading Horizons: A Journal of Literacy and Language Arts

You should know Ignacio, Maria, Petunia and Pedro--especially Pedro. Because of my involvement with the teaching of migrant children this summer I was able to become acquainted with them, to work with them, and to fall in love with them. Many of the people who participated in this program no longer abide by exigencies of the middle class, in utter oblivion to the migrant children's needs and to their worth.

Gerald C. Duffy's article, "Developing the Reading Habit" which appears in The Reading Teacher for December 1967? He shows that there is considerable evidence that "Johnny can read but does not do so." He maintains that this situation may be the result of almost exclusive concern with the reading skills and a neglect of recreational reading. He believes that the reading habit does not develop naturally, that time for recreational reading must be provided in classrooms, and that real efforts must be directed toward making reading a natural and enjoyable part of children's lives. This article should be read by …

Books Are For Reading, Fannie Schmitt Jan 1968

Books Are For Reading, Fannie Schmitt

Reading Horizons: A Journal of Literacy and Language Arts

Surely there has never been another time in which it was so important for people to be able to read-and to read-as it is today. Reading is, or should be, a part of nearly every experience of children, young people, and adults. Valuable though the other media of communication are, they are necessarily inadequate for full coverage: of reporting events, of expressions of opinion, of findings of investigations, of descriptions, of recounting of experiences. Only in books are we likely to find the inclusive, extended coverage necessary for adequate analysis, interpretation, and application. Never before have we been confronted with …

Which Way Is It Pointed?, Louis Foley Jan 1968

Which Way Is It Pointed?, Louis Foley

Reading Horizons: A Journal of Literacy and Language Arts

The etymology of the word punctuation leads us back to its remote ancestor, the Latin punctus~ a "point" in the sense of the dot which we now call a "period" because it marks the end of a period. Latin did not require punctuation as our modern languages do, because the forms of words kept their construction clear independently of word-order. Even the period did not seem necessary until fairly late, since the termination of a sentence was shown by the verb which came regularly at the end.

This Is How It Is, Neil Lamper

Reading Horizons: A Journal of Literacy and Language Arts

We lived in the house now for only three months but already the children come. We are careful, living in India, because we are not prepared to battle the diseases strange to our bodies and so we must sometimes inhibit our love for the children until we are stronger. We are strangers to the country but not to the hunger and yearning on the faces of the children. The children are all from one family, and our favorite is the wild little five-year-old girl named Sakri. But aside from this slight preference we laugh and run with her two older …

"Hi! I'm Melvin. Miss Riley sent me to see you. Gosh, I was scared. I thought I was in real trouble this time. I thought she sent me because I knocked that paste jar on the floor. Boy, what a mess. Made a lot of noise, too. I don't make much noise in the room. If you keep still, the teacher forgets you're there. Jimmy says he acts up in reading class so Miss Riley will get mad at him, and then she won't make him read. I like to have my turn, but I'm not very good at it. …

The Role Of The Reading Teacher In The Junior High School, Jennie Schneider Oct 1967

The Role Of The Reading Teacher In The Junior High School, Jennie Schneider

Reading Horizons: A Journal of Literacy and Language Arts

This paper has been written to set forth some of the functions of the reading teacher at the junior high level. There are many demands which such a teacher must meet. Some of these are of a predictable nature and can be dealt with in a prescribed manner. Other functions are more difficult to predetermine because much depends upon the students who are involved in the reading program. The size of the classes is intended to be very small, numbering not more than five students per class. It is expected that the students selected for participation in the reading program …

Bricks For Building The Self Concept Of The Disadvantaged Child, Gloria I. Dixon

Reading Horizons: A Journal of Literacy and Language Arts

Poverty, unemployment, illiteracy, school dropouts, and the necessity for public welfare are not new social problems in our society. At the present time great national effort and much money are being spent to attack many social ills through antipoverty programs. These programs are receiving attention at this time because the increased industrialization and urbanization of today have widened the gap between our American ideals and practices. More people are aware of the resulting inequalities. And people are also aware that society has the power and ability to do something about it. Currently, one of the complex problems facing the United …
