Extending The Literature Base Of A Reading Program Through Folk Literature, Ellen M. Grady-Mans
Extending The Literature Base Of A Reading Program Through Folk Literature, Ellen M. Grady-Mans
Graduate Research Papers
The report of the National Endowment for the Humanities (1987) stresses the need to present quality literature experiences to facilitate children's personal-social development. Literature needs to be presented as whole units in the form written by the author, not revised to facilitate the teaching of fragments through phonics instruction and to fit readability formulas. Since few basal reader series, the basis of much reading instruction today, focus on quality literature, this humanities group suggests that teachers need to take more responsibility in extending the literature base.

Patterned And Predictable Materials In A Beginning Reading Program, Phyllis Boeding
Patterned And Predictable Materials In A Beginning Reading Program, Phyllis Boeding
Graduate Research Papers
Language is the means by which children come to understand the sense that others have made of the world as they seek to make sense of it themselves. Children need to interact with others through language in order to survive and to be fully functional in society. This involvement in the functions of language accounts for the natural acquisition of oral language. Young children are not sent to language school to be taught the rules of oral language, but rather, they interact freely with parents, siblings, and others. Through this interaction, young children begin to learn to use language for …
Prereading Strategies And Activities To Improve Reading Comprehension In Elementary School-Aged Students, Paula Dunham
Prereading Strategies And Activities To Improve Reading Comprehension In Elementary School-Aged Students, Paula Dunham
Graduate Research Papers
The dominating trend in reading research in the past two decades has focused on the study of reading as a process. Basic theoretical research replaced applied research even though many federally funded projects in the area of reading called for improvement of teaching strategies. Applied research was dismissed as unimportant and theorists rushed to define, build, and verify theories of the reading process (Vacca & Vacca, 1982).
Facilitating Language Ability Through A Literature-Based Social Studies Program, Sharon Bahr
Facilitating Language Ability Through A Literature-Based Social Studies Program, Sharon Bahr
Graduate Research Papers
Quality literature for children supports the development of their language abilities by providing models of language. A literature-based language arts program extended across the curriculum can extend children's language growth. For this study, a literature-based language arts program has been extended to the social studies area providing opportunities to study content and to engage in the thinking-language processes. The example unit for grade four will be Appalachia. After a review of the professional literature, the unit supported by the different genres offering opportunities to engage in expressive activity will be presented.
Children Of Divorce: Educational Interventions, Carolyn L. H. Stephenson
Children Of Divorce: Educational Interventions, Carolyn L. H. Stephenson
Graduate Research Papers
The purpose of this study is to 1) identify developmental responses to divorce, 2) identify the changes in life style and family functioning caused by divorce, and 3) identify how educators can effectively intervene when appropriate. This paper relates the developmental responses of children to divorce from preschool age through adolescence as reviewed in the longintudinal studies of Judith Wallerstein and colleagues, and other studies and articles. The review of literature, as it relates divorce to the effect on children's academic progress, highlights the lack of studies with this focus and the need for further research in the area.

Reduction Of Self-Injurious Behavior: A Positive Approach, David E. Teeter

The occurrence of self-injurious behavior is familiar to many special education teachers, although it may be referred to in a variety of ways. Self-destruction, self-mutilation and self-abuse are all terms that are often used interchangeably to refer to behaviors that one incurs upon himself/herself.
The Negative Effects Of Labeling On Intellectually Identified Gifted Children And Suggested Strategies For Alleviation, Paula A. Swalla
The Negative Effects Of Labeling On Intellectually Identified Gifted Children And Suggested Strategies For Alleviation, Paula A. Swalla
Graduate Research Papers
Concern over special education labels has existed for more than twenty years. Labeling has been found to have both positive and negative effects on those labeled as gifted. This paper reviews the research on the negative effects of labeling a child gifted and suggested strategies to alleviate these negative effects. Research indicates that the label gifted has more positive than negative effects on the majority of children labeled; however, the research also identifies a number of adverse consequences which merit consideration and possible alleviation.
