An Investigation Of The Relationship Between The Interpersonal Relationships Perceived By A Pupil To Exist Between Himself And His Reading Teacher And: 1) His Reading Achievement And 2) His Self-Concepts, Carmella A. Mantaro

Dissertations - ALL

This study explored teacher pupil relationships as perceived by pupils and the relationship to reading achievement and self-concept.

Pre-Primer Reading, Meta Terlinden

Gray and Laura Zirbes in their article on Primary Reading which appears in the Class Room Teacher Volume II, and also from articles on reading which are given in The Twenty-Fourth …
