Good Readers And Their Reading Strategies, Mary Jane Gray, Marion Henneberry

Reading Horizons: A Journal of Literacy and Language Arts

Those who are responsible for elementary reading programs should have as a major concern recognizing what children do as they engage in the act of reading. F. Smith (1973) makes this clear In his statement, "Find out what a child is trying to do and then help hi m do it." (p. 195)

In order to take a first step in gaining this information we need to have children provide answers to some pertinent questions. One of these would be what children consider as the criteria for good reading. A particularly relevant question, especially at the beginning stages, would be …

Teaching Young Remedial Readers To Generate Questions As They Read, Victoria J. Risko, Naomi Feldman

Reading Horizons: A Journal of Literacy and Language Arts

Poor readers are often characterized as passive learners who fail to select and apply strategies that will aid their comprehension. Activities designed to develop student use of strategies and self-monitoring may be especially helpful for students who are experiencing reading difficulty in school (Brown, Bransford, Ferrara, and Campione, 1983; Palincsar & Brown, 1984; Pearson & Gallagher, 1983).

One activity for enhancing reading comprehension is reciprocal questioning. Teaching students to reflect upon what they have read and to formulate questions about literal and implied meanings of the author can improve comprehension and encourage active monitoring. Previous investigations of reciprocal questioning in …

Differing Perspectives On The Goals And Means Of Reading Instruction, Patrick Shannon

Reading Horizons: A Journal of Literacy and Language Arts

The recent suggestions in reading journals that school and teacher effectiveness research should affect reading inst ruction in public schools imply that all levels of school personnel agree upon the goals and means of reading inst ruction (Baumann, 1984; Blair, 1984). Indeed, many reading programs which have recently reorganized according to this literature share this implied assumption (Cuban, 1984; Wise, 1979). That is, the programs are organized upon the assumption that administrators, reading teachers, and classroom teachers agree that high achievement test scores are the important goal for reading programs and that reading instruction should be rearranged in order to …

Reading Teachers Are Asked "What Is Relevant In The Classroom?", Donna Jamar, Leo W. Pauls

Reading Horizons: A Journal of Literacy and Language Arts

One of the most crucial problems facing teacher education today is one of relevancy. This cry for relevance suggests that what we in higher education do as we prepare students to become teachers is not compatible with the real world of the classroom. Backman tells us that as teacher educators we are perceived as (1) delivering preparation programs which have little real influence on the way in which our graduates actually teach; and (2) being completely out of touch with the actual teaching conditions in contemporary schools (1984).

Linguistic Development Of Children And The Syntax Of Basals, David L. Brown, L. D. Briggs

Reading Horizons: A Journal of Literacy and Language Arts

Children's ability to reflect upon language begins to appear about age two (Clark, 1978). During the early stages of language development, children correct their own pronunciations, question the appropriateness of speech styles, play with different linguistic units, and make judgments concerning language usage for varying situations (Clark, 1978). Children exhibit an increasing awareness of language with age and soon become aware of both the form and function of language. Their metacognitive skills become apparent as they progress from the simple to the more complex linguistic structures. Children's language acquisition and cognitive development continue to develop during the early years of …

Using The Word Processor To Clarify Textual Phrasing, Rona F. Flippo

Reading Horizons: A Journal of Literacy and Language Arts

This article briefly reviews the literature relevant to investigating the effects of textual phrasing on the efforts of children to comprehend, and then addresses the question, "Is there evidence in the reviewed literature that the use of word processors could have an impact on helping children improve their comprehension?" Some suggestions for use of word processors, based on the reviewed literature, are made.

Reading Research: Some Comments, Richard D. Robinson

Reading Horizons: A Journal of Literacy and Language Arts

As early as the beginning of this century men such as Dearborn, Javal, and Judd were asking questions concerning the epistemology of reading. Huey described these efforts when he noted:

And so to completely analyze what we do when we read would almost be the acme of a psychologist's achievements, for it would describe very many of the most intricate workings of the human mind, as well as to unravel the tangled story of the most remarkable specific performance that civilization has learned in all its history (Huey, 1908, page 6).

Huey's challenge to reading research remains as relevant today …

Long-Term Effects Of Clinical Intervention: An In-Depth Study, Barbara J. Rennie, Carl Braun, Christine J. Gordon

Reading Horizons: A Journal of Literacy and Language Arts

Numerous longitudinal studies attest to the concern regarding the long-term effectiveness of remedial programs (Balow, 1965; Balow & Blomquist, 1965; Buerger, 1968; Muehl &' Forell, 1973; Robinson & Smith, 1962; Shearer, 1966). While short-term improvement has been demonstrated repeatedly, the majority of the reported studies fail to demonstrate maintenance of achievement gains (Spache, 1980). The fact that follow-up studies persist (Bessai & Cozac, 1980; Gottesman, 1979; Ito, 1981; Miles, Foreman & Irwine, 1978) demonstrates an intuitive belief that remedial treatment should have lasting beneficial effects.

The lowest third of the freshman class, those predicted to have the most trouble in college, participated in the study skills course herein described. These students achieved at least a 2.0 grade point average (GPA) as frequently as students ranked in the upper two-thirds of the freshman class. This article describes the course and the means by which its effectiveness was assessed.

Analysis Of Able And Disabled Sixth-Grade Readers' Knowledge Of Story Structure: A Comparison, Evelyn L. Kreine, Jane Ann Zaharias

Reading Horizons: A Journal of Literacy and Language Arts

Current research indicates that reading is a transactive process, suggesting that the background knowledge a reader brings to a text is at least as important as the text itself in determining comprehension (Goodman, 1984). Of particular interest here is the reader's tacit knowledge of typical organizational patterns which govern the structure of narrative texts, or what has been termed story schemata (Rumelhart, 1975, 1980).
