Differences In Schema Gap: A Case Study, Deanna M. Lamb, Lorraine M. Leidholdt Dec 1993

Differences In Schema Gap: A Case Study, Deanna M. Lamb, Lorraine M. Leidholdt

Reading Horizons: A Journal of Literacy and Language Arts

As Deanna described her son's latest interest in reading and his responses to what he read, we marveled at how far he had come as a reader in the past few years. That morning, Deanna had watched 11 year old McKenzie as he searched in total absorption for clues to decode the alphabetic runes in J.R.R. Tolkien's The Lord of the Rings (1974). Already, she noted, his compiled dictionary of runes was so complete that he could write decipherable messages to family and friends.


Poetry In The Primary Classroom: Collaboration And Response, Stanley B. Straw, Linda Craven, Pat Sadowy, S.P. Baardman Dec 1993

Poetry In The Primary Classroom: Collaboration And Response, Stanley B. Straw, Linda Craven, Pat Sadowy, S.P. Baardman

Reading Horizons: A Journal of Literacy and Language Arts

The most recent learning and literary theories are challenging the ways in which practitioners are teaching reading and understanding. In the past, the focus in teaching reading has been on the acquisition of a hierarchy of subskills and the mastery of a controlled vocabulary. Comprehension was separable from and dependent on the development of the lower level word identification skills. Much of reading time was spent on isolated skills that were intended to improve, but did not include, the act of reading, particularly the reading of poetry. These skills were considered to be important steps in the process of enabling …

Do Study Guides Improve Text Comprehension?, Andrea Giese Maxworthy

Although there are many types of study guides, the theoretical assumptions underlying them are the same. They are structures designed to improve reading comprehension (Armstrong, Patberg and Dewitz, 1988).


Predicting The Future Of The Whole Language Literacy Movement: Past Lessons And Present Concerns, Amy R. Hoffman, Susan J. Daniels Dec 1993

Predicting The Future Of The Whole Language Literacy Movement: Past Lessons And Present Concerns, Amy R. Hoffman, Susan J. Daniels

Reading Horizons: A Journal of Literacy and Language Arts

Progressive Education. The Open Classroom. New Math. Educational innovations have come and gone over the years. The reasons for each one's demise were different, and some innovations probably were not worthy of continued support, but there certainly seems to be a pattern (or pendulum) regarding educational change. What does the future hold for the Whole Language Literacy Movement?


Theory Into Practice: Issues To Consider When Selecting Reading Software To Meet Different Readers' Needs, Kay M. Kincade, Terrence V. Stange Dec 1993

Theory Into Practice: Issues To Consider When Selecting Reading Software To Meet Different Readers' Needs, Kay M. Kincade, Terrence V. Stange

Reading Horizons: A Journal of Literacy and Language Arts

According to a report from the U.S. Congress, Office of Technology Assessment (1988), over 10,000 computer pro grams are currently being marketed. With such a large and divergent array of materials to choose from, software consumers need to understand exactly how programs they are considering for purchase function before they can be sure that any particular program will actually fit their specific classroom needs. Similarly, it is important to determine whether or not the programs are compatible with the teacher's philosophy of reading — reader-based, text-based or interactive (Leu and Kinzer, 1991).


Decoding Skill And Successful Beginning Reading In Different Instructional Settings, Ellen Mcintyre Dec 1993

Decoding Skill And Successful Beginning Reading In Different Instructional Settings, Ellen Mcintyre

Reading Horizons: A Journal of Literacy and Language Arts

The debate over whether to include phonics in early literacy instruction has been one of the hottest topics in the field of reading. Researchers and teachers agree that children must be able to use graphophonic knowledge in order to learn to read. That is, children must understand that written symbols correspond to sounds which make up written words, and they must be able to decode new words. Yet there is still debate over whether phonics instruction is necessary for children to learn these concepts and skills.

What's In A Name?, Arlene L. Barry

Reading Horizons: A Journal of Literacy and Language Arts

When there is a lack of communication among special ists, as in Tony's case, mislabeling is bound to occur. Algozzine and Ysseldyke (1983) identify numerous cases of mislabeling. More specifically, they have found few psychometric differences between groups of students that have been labeled learning disabled and those students labeled low achievers. "Many of the learning disabled children did not meet federal definition guidelines as we operationalized them and many low-achieving children were 'learning disabled' by these same discussion rules" (p. 242).

Book Reading Interactions: What Parents And Children Say, Janice Porterfield-Stewart

Reading Horizons: A Journal of Literacy and Language Arts

Children's awareness of how they learn to read or how they view literacy events contributes to the way they approach book reading (Edwards, 1962; Johns, 1972; Muskopf, 1962; Stewart, 1988). Picturebook reading and story reading are the most common forms of interaction that occur between some parents and young children. Both kinds of interaction provide a rich context for language learning and for the development of story comprehension (Harkness and Miller, 1982; Morrow, 1989; DeLoache and DeMendoza, 1987). A number of studies have documented mothers as models in children's acquisition of literacy (Harkness and Miller, 1982; Morrow, 1989; Ninio and …


Helping Parents To Select And Evaluate Private Reading/Learning Centers, Norman A. Stahl, William A. Henk Oct 1993

Helping Parents To Select And Evaluate Private Reading/Learning Centers, Norman A. Stahl, William A. Henk

Reading Horizons: A Journal of Literacy and Language Arts

For many parents, the various types of reading and learning centers springing up across the country represent a potential answer to their children's academic problems. In fact, commercial tutorial services are opening up on a daily basis in avenue strip malls, in community shopping districts and in local medical buildings. The marketing of these educational support services is part of a growing national trend toward offering private academic services. This rapidly growing service industry caters to parents with disposable income and a desire to help their children improve low grades and test scores, or to move and stay ahead of …

Ribtickling Literature: Educational Implications For Joke And Riddle Books In The Elementary Classroom, Patricia Wilson, Karen Kutiper

Reading Horizons: A Journal of Literacy and Language Arts

During a recent visit to an elementary school we delighted in the number of classrooms which featured writing and reading centers. One innovative third grade teacher went a step further and provided her students with a lively outlet for their creative skills in the "Humor Corner." As we entered the classroom, two youngsters were enjoying jokes produced by classmates and browsing through a few of the riddle books on display. Holding The Biggest Riddle Book in the World (Rosenbloom, 1976), one student greeted us with: "I bet you can't answer this one! What does an envelope say when you lick …

Perceptions And Reactions Of Language Arts And Reading Teachers, Patricia K. Smith, Steven D. Rinehart, Karen F. Thomas Oct 1993

Perceptions And Reactions Of Language Arts And Reading Teachers, Patricia K. Smith, Steven D. Rinehart, Karen F. Thomas

Reading Horizons: A Journal of Literacy and Language Arts

The success of whole language will depend upon its acceptance or rejection by classroom teachers. Some teachers avidly support change to whole language while others are reluctant to do so. Given the shift of language arts instruction from the mastery of skills and subskills to a whole language approach, this study investigated current practices in language instruction, the nature of changes, and the perceptions and reactions of teachers. Although the basal reading program continues to be the most widely-used approach to teaching reading in our country (Flood and Lapp, 1986; Barksdale, Thomas and Jones, 1990), a whole language philosophy is …

Alphabet Books Can Be Used With Fluent Readers And Writers, Luethel M. Kormanski, Carol B. Stevens

Reading Horizons: A Journal of Literacy and Language Arts

Text and pictures share the responsibility for storytelling in picture books (Bishop and Hickman, 1992). Purists often define picture books as those books in which text and picture work interdependently, the visual and verbal are integrated, and pictures and text blend perfectly to tell a story. Pragmatists tend to include in the picture book genre all books that have a picture book format: 24 and 48 pages, pictures on every double page spread, and a brief text with equal space taken up by the pictures. Alphabet books are an important part of the picture book genre because concepts are communicated …
