To A Student Teacher, Thomas R. Berg Oct 1980

To A Student Teacher, Thomas R. Berg

Journal of Teaching and Learning

I recently received a rather touching letter from a former student who is now student teaching in a public school . She seemed to be more than a little upset by the realization that what she had found in the schools did not correspond to what her college professors had led her to believe would be there. The gap between the "real" and the " ideal" appeared to be so wide that she did not know what to do . Assuming that she had been exposed to undiluted educational humanism in college classrooms, I decided to offer her the sort …

Read It With Meaning: Aloud, Gary A. Negin, Judith L. Rios Oct 1980

Read It With Meaning: Aloud, Gary A. Negin, Judith L. Rios

Reading Horizons: A Journal of Literacy and Language Arts

Between 1910 and 1925 the emphasis in reading instruction in elementary and secondary schools switched dramatically from oral reading to silent reading. Emphasis on oral reading was almost totally neglected. Educators of the 1920s believed that silent reading was more efficient than oral reading in the areas of rate, comprehension, and convenience. As McCluskey (1942) explained, "a theory was put forth that the faster one read, the more one understood. Speed, therefore, became thoroughly entrenched and oral reading with its slower ways was politely placed in solitary confinement" (p. 15).


Factors Associated With Teacher Knowledge Of Reading At The Secondary Level, Harbans Lal Narang Oct 1980

Factors Associated With Teacher Knowledge Of Reading At The Secondary Level, Harbans Lal Narang

Reading Horizons: A Journal of Literacy and Language Arts

Though widespread use is made of non print media to enrich and supplement teaching, most academic learning takes place through the study of printed materials. The secondary school relies heavily on textbooks for its daily work in the classroom. Secondary teachers are, therefore, expected to teach reading skills in their particular content areas. Most colleges and universities offer one or more classes in reading instruction for teachers in training. Bader (1975) indicates that more and more institutions in the United States are requiring prospective secondary teachers to take at least one course in reading as a part of their certification …


How Preservice Teachers Perceive Traditional And Competency-Based Reading Education, Richard T. Vacca, John L. Johns Oct 1980

How Preservice Teachers Perceive Traditional And Competency-Based Reading Education, Richard T. Vacca, John L. Johns

Reading Horizons: A Journal of Literacy and Language Arts

The study, we should emphasize, was exploratory in nature. Its purpose was to generate tentative insights into the effects of traditional and competency-based reading education so that relationships between the two instructional approaches could be better understood and lead to further hypothesis making and empirical verification.

The Effect Of Interest On The Reading Comprehension Of Gifted Readers, Kathleen C. Stevens Oct 1980

The Effect Of Interest On The Reading Comprehension Of Gifted Readers, Kathleen C. Stevens

Reading Horizons: A Journal of Literacy and Language Arts

All too often, little attention in our classrooms goes into "getting the most out of' superior students. This is particularly true in the field of reading. As long as their reading performance is consistently above average, superior students are often considered to be doing "well" in reading. However, this overlooks the fact that such readers may still be performing far below their potential. That is, gifted students should exhibit extremely superior reading ability-yet teachers are often content with less-than-minimum performance from these individuals.


Reading Skills In A Paperback Classroom, Lynne G. Rehder Oct 1980

Reading Skills In A Paperback Classroom, Lynne G. Rehder

Reading Horizons: A Journal of Literacy and Language Arts

Humanities teachers have been reluctant, with justification, to trust mathematical measurements of literary experience. They know that the learning in which students participate in the classroom cannot be put on a bubble sheet with a number two pencil, but the threat of accountability and standardized testing is forcing them into a defensive position. Those teachers who have enjoyed the satisfactions of working with relevant material in the past few years are now threatened by basics. The good teachers, of course, never stopped teaching the basics but found that relevancy could be used as a motivational tool. The best of the …


What Is Being Done For Black Children In Reading?, Sandra F. Guillory, Charles S. Gifford Oct 1980

What Is Being Done For Black Children In Reading?, Sandra F. Guillory, Charles S. Gifford

Reading Horizons: A Journal of Literacy and Language Arts

That there are concerns for reading problems in general is evident by the profusion of studies that have been, are being, and will be reported. However, the history of research reports regarding the reading ability of speakers of Black English is rather brief. Only in recent years have there been published reports on the high frequency of failures of Black children in reading (Smith, 1975), the urgent situation of language differences of Blacks (Knapp, 1975), and the disparity between the reading achievement levels of Black children and White children (Rupley and Robeck, 1978). This report is intended to review the …


Diagnosis Of Teacher's Reading Instruction As Well As The Pupil's Reading Program, Timothy R. Blair, William H. Rupley Oct 1980

Diagnosis Of Teacher's Reading Instruction As Well As The Pupil's Reading Program, Timothy R. Blair, William H. Rupley

Reading Horizons: A Journal of Literacy and Language Arts

Diagnosis is the heart of effective reading instruction. This educational tenet em bodies the expertise of the teacher to collect relevant data on pupils, to interpret and synthesize the data, and to prescribe appropriate instruction. One assumption underlying the traditional diagnostic-prescriptive model is that the teacher possesses techniques and materials to provide appropriate instruction. The primary focus of such an approach is on the pupil and little attention is given to teachers and their instructional programs. It is our contention that tantamount to diagnosis of the pupil is close scrutiny by teachers of their instructional practices. Teachers should be encouraged …


Reading Attitudes Across A Broad Age Spectrum, Edward J. Dwyer, Flora Joy Oct 1980

Reading Attitudes Across A Broad Age Spectrum, Edward J. Dwyer, Flora Joy

Reading Horizons: A Journal of Literacy and Language Arts

Children with parents who demonstrate a highly positive attitude toward reading and who read to their children generally profit from instruction when they begin learning to read and also enjoy considerable success (Durkin, 1966; McCormack, 1977). On the other hand, a review of current research indicates that there is little information available which demonstrates how school-age children as well as adults say they feel about reading. Further, Zirkel and Greene (1976) suggested that "there is a paucity of verbal self-report instruments in the reading attitude assessment area" (p. 107).


Cross-Age Tutoring--Using The 4 T'S, Lawrence L. Smith Oct 1980

Cross-Age Tutoring--Using The 4 T'S, Lawrence L. Smith

Reading Horizons: A Journal of Literacy and Language Arts

Cross- age tutoring or peer tutoring can be an effective instructional strategy for remedial reading teachers who are overloaded with students. While the concept is not new, the purpose of this paper is to describe an organizational change in remedial reading classes using a cross-age or peer tutoring paradigm developed by the author.


The Effectiveness Of Intensive Phonics, Gwen Fulwiler, Patrick Groff Oct 1980

The Effectiveness Of Intensive Phonics, Gwen Fulwiler, Patrick Groff

Reading Horizons: A Journal of Literacy and Language Arts

An examination of the history of reading instruction reveals that there has been a long-standing controversy over the effectiveness of the teaching of phonics. It is readily apparent from such an historical study that the enthusiasm for phonics as an effective methodology by the experts in reading instruction has waxed and waned over the years (Matthews, 1966). Only in relatively recent times, however, have carefully controlled and analytical reviews been made of the total of the respectable research evidence that deals with this issue.
