Green Lumber, An Introduction To Failure, John Brewster Jan 1967

Green Lumber, An Introduction To Failure, John Brewster

Reading Horizons: A Journal of Literacy and Language Arts

As a comparative newcomer to the study of the problems of reading instruction, I have that frustratingly inadequate feeling that goes along with having many, many questions and very few answers. Many of my questions are concerned with "why." Why is it that this child with adequate mental capacity, physical health, experiential background and stable environment fails to learn to read? I'm aware, of course, that many answers are available in the volumes and volumes of current literature, but I haven't dug them all out for evaluation. Somehow, I expect I'll be a little late in getting around to them …

What To Do Until The Teacher Arrives, Mary Ruth Loughrin Jan 1967

What To Do Until The Teacher Arrives, Mary Ruth Loughrin

Reading Horizons: A Journal of Literacy and Language Arts

Preparing the child for schooling, the greatest experience of child hood, can be an exciting and rewarding experience for the parents. While the child is under their almost exclusive control in the pre-school years, they can initiate their own Head Start program instilling habits and attitudes in the child by simple methods, lovingly and patiently taught.


Another Hat For The Special Reading Teacher, Lucille Larzelere Jan 1967

Another Hat For The Special Reading Teacher, Lucille Larzelere

Reading Horizons: A Journal of Literacy and Language Arts

The special reading teacher functions most successfully if he is one who can wear many different hats. He may be required to wear more than one at a time or to change them rather quickly with the ease of a magician. He is versatile and flexible in this accomplishment. However, there is one hat in particular to which we would like to give attention in this article. It is a hat that is deserving particular attention because it is a year around necessity and should be worn in any season. It is indispensable to the reading teacher who works with …

Echoes From The Field, Lois Vandenberg

Reading Horizons: A Journal of Literacy and Language Arts

The Secondary Reading Department in the Kalamazoo Public Schools is attempting a new dimension in its program. It is generally assumed that one person cannot adequately diagnose students with serious reading deficiencies. For this reason plans are being made to hold case conferences on certain students who have not made progress in reading. The conference will be a clinical approach to the problem with the hope of accomplishing the following:

The Effective Remedial Reading Program, Marilyn Nederveld

Reading Horizons: A Journal of Literacy and Language Arts

An effective remedial reading program is one that is directed by a highly trained remedial instructor and has gained the cooperation and support of teachers, administrators, and parents. The effectiveness of such a program is achieved only by long range planning in which everyone involved is made cognizant of the aims and objectives of the program.

The Self Concept And Its Relation To Speech And Reading, Dorothy Edna Smith, Katharine G. Butler

Reading Horizons: A Journal of Literacy and Language Arts

One of the most exciting prospects in our search for excellence in the teaching of reading is emerging from the field of psychology. By now it is axiomatic that our efficiency as teachers is inextricably bound up with the psychological aspects of the individual student. All of us have been told over and over again to Pay Attention To The Individual. As a matter of fact this admonition has become so universal that it now has attained the status of being called by its initials: PATTI.


Important Insights Into The Reading Of Social Studies Text, James A. Wright Oct 1966

Important Insights Into The Reading Of Social Studies Text, James A. Wright

Reading Horizons: A Journal of Literacy and Language Arts

In a broad sense, the world is a stage and social studies is the recorded drama of man's struggle for survival in an ever-changing environment. Man's own implacable desire to improve continuously his situation provides the plot, or underlying theme. The social studies text defines people's basic needs and the activities through which they meet their needs. It describes the antagonistic forces affecting human behavior. Only the guidance of an expert teacher makes it possible for a young reader to interpret and appreciate the inherent drama of social studies.

Up With The Spelldown!, Louis Foley

Reading Horizons: A Journal of Literacy and Language Arts

Not long ago there appeared in the newspapers an Associated Press photograph of a happily smiling boy holding in front of him a huge loving-cup. It was a pleasing picture because it looked genuine. The boy was straightforwardly posing to be photographed, not taking part in what Al Smith called "baloney," a picture ostensibly showing the actual bestowal of an award, but artificially posed afterward, with people looking a little foolish because this was not the real thing, and most people are not good actors.

Title I, Title III, Upward Bound and Head Start are all phrases which are finding their way into our professional educational jargon. Within the last few years more government sponsored programs have been initiated in the field of education than ever before since public schools came into being.

A Mother Looks At Reading, Joan Archambault

Every mother wants her child to read. In addition to providing a means of entertainment for him, easing his adjustment to school where reading is learning, enriching every personal experience, the reading skill is highly valued. It is very "In."


Churchill's "Anglo-Saxon" Words, Louis Foley Jul 1966

Churchill's "Anglo-Saxon" Words, Louis Foley

Reading Horizons: A Journal of Literacy and Language Arts

When someone who has been astonishingly successful, whether in building an immense fortune or in some other form of activity, tells us the "secret" of his success, we may do well to take what he says with a grain of salt. It is not that he does not mean to tell the truth; no doubt he does. He may, however, have been guided by a sure instinct for the right thing to do, without really under standing why. When he attempts to explain it, his guess may be quite mistaken.

Reading Horizons: A Journal of Literacy and Language Arts

What special qualities should a good teacher of reading have? What behavior characteristics should be avoided at all costs? Most of you probably have answered these questions long ago but we thought it might be interesting to hear what people who are about to begin teaching think.
