Reading Horizons: A Journal of Literacy and Language Arts

Teaching Reading in High School by Robert Karlin? This book was designed for high school teachers interested in providing reading instruction in their classrooms. Karlin emphasizes the need for the teaching of developmental reading at the secondary level, and he supports his point of view with statistics resulting from a survey taken in the New York public high schools in 1955. According to this survey approximately forty percent of the students evaluated were found to be reading at least a year below their reading expectancies. Basic reading skills, such as word recognition, reading comprehension, rate, study skills and literary appreciation, …

Some Critics And The Vulgar Error, Charles Allen Smith Jul 1965

Some Critics And The Vulgar Error, Charles Allen Smith

Reading Horizons: A Journal of Literacy and Language Arts

Everyone who has ever been enchanted by the writ ten word—and this surely includes everyone who has ever attempted to teach it—has given at least a passing thought to the question: Wherein lies the difference be tween the language of poetry and the language of prose?

The Making Of Readers, Helen E. Master Jul 1965

The Making Of Readers, Helen E. Master

Reading Horizons: A Journal of Literacy and Language Arts

In considering the process of developing anything, we must have in mind a clear concept of the end product we are hoping to attain. In considering the developing in children of an appreciation of literature, we are aiming at producing life-time readers, children and ultimately adults who will turn with confidence to books (using a general term) for information and pleasure. Now in the day of relatively cheap printing, and hence, an overwhelming amount of inferior material, we must qualify the word "books" with the word "good." And though such a description is woefully open to a carping kind of …

Basic Reading Skills, Gwen Horsman Jul 1965

Basic Reading Skills, Gwen Horsman

Reading Horizons: A Journal of Literacy and Language Arts

Deriving meaning from the printed page in a high school situation requires the ability to use a great variety of reading skills. Some of these skills are developed in the first grade. During each school year they are extended and refined and new skills are acquired. By the time a student enters high school he should have at his command the knowledge of and the ability to apply a vast variety of reading skills when attacking the printed page. Only then can he understand, use and enjoy ideas presented in written form.

A Nose In A Book By Hook Or By Crook, Pearl Sarno

Reading Horizons: A Journal of Literacy and Language Arts

In any community, the children are like the sand dunes of Lake Michigan, blown about by the lake winds. During a winter, the dunes may move to a different location and the face of the shore line appears different each spring. A bit of beauty may have been buried or destroyed, roots of trees may be exposed to threaten its life but green, tough grass does appear each year, saplings spring up and survive a few years, even here and there a few forest-edge flowers and vines grow and spread. However, to be productive and produce more than chance beauty …

Growth For Citizenship, Winifred Winn Apr 1965

Growth For Citizenship, Winifred Winn

Reading Horizons: A Journal of Literacy and Language Arts

Education today must be concerned with the values in citizenship that should be developed early in the child's life. Value, being defined as something we prize or cherish, involves deliberation and choice, In many communities children are being over-protected or under-supervised, thus leaving to the schools the training of their children in the way they should go. Therefore in the best interest of schools and society, citizenship values must be incorporated into the school program.

Parents, School And Reading, Sandra Sloan

Reading Horizons: A Journal of Literacy and Language Arts

Much has been written about reading. Hundreds of research projects have been carried out to determine just what can be done to improve the teaching of reading in the nation's schools. From all sides come advice, suggestions, panaceas and gimmicks to make all children accomplished readers. School mail is filled with advertisements extolling new books, workbooks, programs, and what-have-you that will greatly improve the school reading program. Millions of dollars have been spent purchasing these materials and yet reading is still a major problem in every school.

Fundamental Principles Underlying Good Teaching Of Reading, Gwen Horsman Jan 1965

Fundamental Principles Underlying Good Teaching Of Reading, Gwen Horsman

Reading Horizons: A Journal of Literacy and Language Arts

Today we are teaching all of the children of all of the people. The less selective the school enrollment, the greater the number of deficiencies found among the student body. The enriched curriculum requires a knowledge of reading skills far greater in difficulty than those required to master the "reader" of twenty years ago. Social promotion sends into the secondary schools many students who have failed in one field or another. In a surprisingly large number of school systems, guidance in the teaching of reading ceases at the completion of the sixth grade; in all too many systems it is …

The Science Of Linguistic Laisser-Aller, Louis Foley

Reading Horizons: A Journal of Literacy and Language Arts

Those of us who are unapologetically devoted to the cause of correct English are not necessarily so hopelessly oldfogyish as some of the "scientific" popularizers of linguistics take us to be. We are not harking back to any imaginary "good old days." Some of us would say unhesitatingly that the best English of today, all things considered, is the best there ever was. We are not disposed, how ever, to accept blithely on the ground of "usage" just any sort of careless confusion or ignorant corruption merely because it has considerable currency. Indeed, one may well contend that there is …

Nonreaders Are Nonexistent, Vern L. Farrow

Reading Horizons: A Journal of Literacy and Language Arts

Jack stared impatiently at the red traffic light and waited. He was anxious to get back to school after lunch. The light changed to green but as the boy stepped into the street, the sound of an approaching siren told him that the light must be ignored and he re turned to the curb. The emergency car passed, the traffic light cycled green again and Jack made his way safely across the street where he was suddenly confronted by a very large dog. The boy's initial reaction of fright was instantly dispelled when he recognized the dog's friendly intentions by …
