Meeting The Reading Needs Of Children By Aiding The New Elementary Teacher, Margaret Millard Oct 1967

Meeting The Reading Needs Of Children By Aiding The New Elementary Teacher, Margaret Millard

Reading Horizons: A Journal of Literacy and Language Arts

The first day of school has come. Orientation days are over for the new teacher, and the children have arrived. Thirty or more little faces smile back at her when she says "good morning." It had all seemed fairly simple during the student teaching days, but suddenly there was no one to fall back on when things went wrong. The entire responsibility for the education of these children rested with her. True, she could ask questions of other teachers, but they seemed so busy. The principal has offered to help, but the opening days of school are hectic for him, …

At the Tenth Annual Convention of the International Reading Association the delegates adopted a "Buyer Be Wary" resolution. The entire April issue of The Reading Teacher was planned to "reaffirm this warning." Of special note is the lead article by Roma Gans entitled "Misspent Funds and the Consequences." We urge every school administrator and teacher to read the April 1967 issue of The Reading Teacher.

A New Look At Longfellow's "Evangeline", Louis Foley Jul 1967

A New Look At Longfellow's "Evangeline", Louis Foley

Reading Horizons: A Journal of Literacy and Language Arts

It seems a thoroughly safe opinion to believe that among French-speaking Canadians nothing in American literature has greater celebrity than Longfellow's Evangeline. In Canada it is doubtless considered unquestionably the poet's chef-d'oeuvre, the authentic and moving account of the tragedy of a people, the dispersion of the Acadians in 1755.


Raising Reading Rates In Foreign Languages, Julia Florence Sherbourne Jul 1967

Raising Reading Rates In Foreign Languages, Julia Florence Sherbourne

Reading Horizons: A Journal of Literacy and Language Arts

I have long been interested in applying rate-reading techniques to the reading of foreign languages. At one time a student who had made an excellent record in Reading Workshop brought her French books into the reading laboratory and succeeded in raising her French reading rate. But I had my first opportunity to apply these techniques to a group during our 1966 winter term. Although we were handicapped by a lack of material and by my own inexperience in working with languages other than English, results were encouraging.

Suggested Plan For Organizing And Carrying Out A School-Wide Study Skills Program, Ruth G. Viox Jul 1967

Suggested Plan For Organizing And Carrying Out A School-Wide Study Skills Program, Ruth G. Viox

Reading Horizons: A Journal of Literacy and Language Arts

Because instruction in study skills involves all teachers of all subjects at all grade levels, the teaching of these skills should be regarded as the responsibility of the entire faculty of a school. Research points out that many pupils do not transfer reading and study skills to their content subjects. Therefore, the subject matter teacher must work on these skills which are pertinent to his subject.! A program in a school which includes work on the needed study skills in the content subjects as well as in language arts and reading classes can result in raising the general academic level …

Another Look At Reading And The Teaching Of Reading, Melvin L. Miller Jul 1967

Another Look At Reading And The Teaching Of Reading, Melvin L. Miller

Reading Horizons: A Journal of Literacy and Language Arts

In recent years a continuous process of searching, experimenting, exploring, evaluating and revising has been pursued in an effort to achieve a better understanding of and performance in respect to reading instruction. This state of dissatisfaction with the teaching of reading and its achievements is appropriate. This is not because present day methods are inadequate and that present day achievements in reading are insufficient. Possible future developments suggest that our efforts should be even more adequate and the returns even greater; that is, a state of higher expectations in reading instruction should be maintained at all times. Perhaps these expectations …

Look What We Got, Louis Foley Apr 1967

Look What We Got, Louis Foley

Reading Horizons: A Journal of Literacy and Language Arts

Among people who speak the most careless English, certain kinds of mistakes unfailingly appear, whatever individual idiosyncrasies may accompany them. Almost always, errors of grammar are confusions between forms which have some relationship but should logically be kept distinct from each other. One of the commonest is the confusion between the simple past tense and the past participle of verbs. This can go either way; a person who makes the mistake in one direction is just as likely to do the opposite in another case. So anyone who says "I seen him," "He done it," "He come," or "He run," …


A Caution Concerning The Use Of Standardized Tests, Ronald Crowell Apr 1967

A Caution Concerning The Use Of Standardized Tests, Ronald Crowell

Reading Horizons: A Journal of Literacy and Language Arts

As teachers in the schools of this country, we pay lip service to the proposal that we must be concerned with the education of the individual. In our textbooks in college, we are reminded that the aim of good teaching is to bring about a change of behavior in the individual. In our classrooms, because of broad differences in individual reading ability and individual performance, we often find it necessary to group students into small, more homogeneous, groups so that we can meet the reading needs of the individual student.

The Recurring Annual Problem, Dorothy Towner

Reading Horizons: A Journal of Literacy and Language Arts

The majestic strains of Elgar's "Pomp and Circumstance" being played on a rented organ from the stage of the beautiful new high school floated down the school halls. The joy and happiness of the girls and boys busily stepping into their earned places in the grad uation procession were sobered only by the dignity of the blue caps and gowns to which they were feverishly giving last minute adjustment.

The staff of each building may use this supplementary tool for one semester in whatever way seems most satisfactory in relation to the basic reading program.


Personalizing The Development Of Initial Reading Vocabulary At The Campus School Western Michigan University, David W. Fraser, Ruth Bosma Apr 1967

Personalizing The Development Of Initial Reading Vocabulary At The Campus School Western Michigan University, David W. Fraser, Ruth Bosma

Reading Horizons: A Journal of Literacy and Language Arts

The Campus School at Western Michigan University recently has been experimenting with the Language-Master Machine as a means of developing initial reading vocabularies with children in the first grade. Realizing that the act of learning to read is unnecessarily complicated when the pupil is asked to deal with printed word symbols whose meaning and sound are foreign or uninteresting to him, the objective here is to identify a personalized reading vocabulary from the actual speaking vocabulary of each individual child. It is hypothesized that such a personalized vocabulary should be an even more effectual device for beginning reading instruction than …
