Echoes From The Field, Lois Vandenberg

Reading Horizons: A Journal of Literacy and Language Arts

The Gull Lake Community Schools have been engaged in consolidating services and curriculum into eight buildings from five former school districts. Title I of the Elementary Secondary Education Act has given incentive and funds for the teachers to work cooperatively to develop worthwhile programs to benefit students. A steering committee helped to appraise the needs as identified by the staff. Working within the framework of this act, the staff members unanimously agreed that individual or small group instruction in the language arts and mathematics would be beneficial for those children with correctable academic deficiencies. It has been recommended that academic, …

Reading Horizons: A Journal of Literacy and Language Arts

The Portage Public Schools are now in the second year of a three-year program aimed at developing a balanced high school reading program. The first phase of the program began last year with a corrective reading program geared to those students whose reading ability was no more than three years below grade level and who were of average or above intelligence. The students selected for the program also showed some disparity between their verbal and non verbal Lorge-Thorndike scores. The corrective reading classes (fifteen to a section) met five days a week in a reading laboratory for intensive reading instruction.

Reading Horizons: A Journal of Literacy and Language Arts

Among college students from culturally deprived backgrounds the problem of communicating ideas in writing is indeed a real one. It hampers their progress in most of their academic courses and, in numerous cases, forces them to give up their goal of becoming college graduates—a decision which jeopardizes their chances of achieving their maximum potential.

Fostering A Healthy Self Image In The Young Child, Carolyn Houdek Jan 1966

Fostering A Healthy Self Image In The Young Child, Carolyn Houdek

Reading Horizons: A Journal of Literacy and Language Arts

How do we learn? Modern psychologists have discovered that the self concept or image we hold is so important that it conditions nearly everything we say and do. The self concept or self image acts very much like a quota for an individual. What a person believes about himself establishes limits as to what he can and will do. It is the writer's purpose to examine briefly the nature of the self image and those experiences which make decisive contributions to its development. After defining the self image and evaluating the impact of society and the teacher on its formation, …

Who Has The Best Method For Beginning Readers?, C. Hap Gilliland

Reading Horizons: A Journal of Literacy and Language Arts

Who has the best reading methods? As we watch children learning to read in other parts of the world, it makes us wonder! In South America they are taking primitive Indians who have never before seen a book and in two to three years they are reading well enough to read the Bible. In New Guinea, primitive people who have been head hunters can learn a new language and learn to read it in a year. In London four-year-olds are learning to read.

Reading Is Also Involvement, Malcolm Robertson

Reading Horizons: A Journal of Literacy and Language Arts

Twenty years ago, mental health personnel talked and wrote much about man's aggressive impulse and the subtle and not so subtle ramifications of this impulse in various areas of human existence. They deplored man's aggression toward man. However, during the last decade the concern has shifted from man's aggression toward man to man's indifference toward man. Many times we can do something about people hurting one another, but what can you do when people simply don't care what happens to their fellow human beings. How often do we pick up the newspaper and read an account of how "law-abiding" citizens, …

Reading Horizons: A Journal of Literacy and Language Arts

"Intensive Phonics vs. Gradual Phonics in Beginning Reading: A Review" which appeared in the April 1965 issue of The Journal of Educational Research? This review presents 22 comparisons between intensive phonics instruction and gradual phonics instruction. It differs from standard reviews in two respects. First, it restricts itself to comparisons meeting certain rigorous statistical criteria and gives specific reasons for excluding various less rigorous studies. Second, instead of quoting the conclusions of various investigators, it tabulates their findings in terms of significant differences. The reviewers found that 19 comparisons favored intensive phonics, three favored neither method, and none favored gradual …

A Taxonomy Of Thinking Skills For Young Readers, James A. Wright Oct 1965

A Taxonomy Of Thinking Skills For Young Readers, James A. Wright

Reading Horizons: A Journal of Literacy and Language Arts

There is nothing more futile than the attempt to accomplish a task when one has not yet decided what the task is. Likewise, there is nothing more difficult than a teacher's attempt to teach a set of skills when the teacher has not yet decided what the skills are. A facile reader himself, a teacher might not have analyzed the reading processes in which his mind engages. Yet he must have a clear understanding of these thinking skills if he is to instill them in his students.
