An in- dex of the rapid changes that have taken place in the use of computers in reading is that this edition has a new and different set of references fnAm that in the earlier editions. These form a body of recent literature that su- persedes and augments the more than 900 citations included in the second edition. Many of the speculations and predictions included in the earlier editions have come to pass, often sooner than predicted. This edition in- cludes topics that were barely more than fantasy in 1979 when the first edition was published. The impediments to widespread educational adoption of computers have changed since 1979. The potential of computers in education has been linked to the costs of both hardware and software. Hardware capabilities of computers have also limited their educational utility. Slow processing speed, restricted memory capacity, lack of voice recognition and synthesis, and poor quality graphics have all played (in the past) a role in keeping the computer from becoming a dominant force in education. And much of the software was of dubious quality. However, costs for microcomputer hardware have continued to spiral down while capabilities have greatly improved., Microcomputer systems can now perform tasks that required mainframe computers only a few years ago. Although hardware development usually outpaces software develop- ment, computer materials for use in reading are significantly improved., This is due in part to improved capacities of computers and in part to the efforts of major reading materials publishers who have finally become con- vinced of the reality of the computer in schools. Consequently, the use of microcomputers is continually expanding in education generally and in reading specifically. Just as hardware costs are approaching affordability for most schools, a persistent problem has begun to loom larger than ever before. We have begun to realize that our broad based systematic knowledge of how to teach reading

  • All Oral Reading Practice Is Not Equal Or How Can I Integrate Fluency Into My Classroom?
    All Oral Reading Practice Is Not Equal or How Can I Integrate Fluency Into My Classroom? Melanie Kuhn Rutgers, Graduate School of Education Paula Schwanenflugel University of Georgia ABSTRACT This paper discusses fluency’s role in reading development and suggests ways of incorporating fluency instruction into the literacy curriculum through a range of oral reading approaches. It concentrates on two distinct groups of learners: students who are making the shift to fluent reading (generally second and third graders) and those who have experienced difficulty making this transition (usually in fourth grade and beyond). As such, it presents approaches that can supplement a given literacy curriculum as well as approaches that can serve as the basis of a shared reading program. This range of instructional methods should assist both groups of learners in making the transition from purposeful decoding and monotonous reading to automatic word recognition and the expressive rendering of text. Literacy Teaching and Learning Volume 11, Number 1 pages 1–20 Literacy Teaching and Learning Volume 11, Number 1 Becoming a skilled reader is a multifaceted process. As part of this process, it is essential that students learn to develop their background knowledge, phonemic awareness and letter-sound correspondences, build their vocabularies, construct meaning from text, and more (National Institute for Child Health and Human Development [NICHD] National Reading Panel Report, 2000; International Reading Association, 2002). Further, they must get to the point where they can do all of this simultaneously and automatically in what is called fluent reading. This article presents several effective approaches to oral reading instruction that will assist students in becoming fluent readers and will allow them to make the transition from purposeful decoding and monotonous reading to automatic word recognition and the expressive rendering of text.

  • The Development of Literate Potential in Literature-Based and Skills-Based Classrooms Zhihui Fang, University of Florida
    The Development of Literate Potential The Development of Literate Potential in Literature-Based and Skills-Based Classrooms Zhihui Fang, University of Florida Abstract This study examined young children’s developing understand- ing of written discourse in two instructional settings: literature-based and skills-based. Forty-one first graders were each requested to dictate two “written” stories for others to read at the beginning and end of the school year. The 82 texts were analyzed for their cohesive harmony, conformity to the socioculturally-codified genre conventions, and use of specific written language features. Quantitative analysis revealed statistically sig- nificant increases in cohesion and genre scores, but only marginal gains in the written language features measures. Further, the development of such written discourse knowledge was not significantly impacted by the instructional context. Qualitative analysis revealed that the children’s texts demonstrated impressive advances in the written mode of organiz- ing and communicating information to others, despite evidence of traces of oral discourse patterns and immature control over diverse genres. These findings are discussed in light of relevant literacy research and practice. Literacy is not a natural outgrowth from orality. Becoming literate in our soci- ety requires that children learn to take control over the written mode of communi- cation. In order to do this, they must come to terms with certain features of written discourse: its sustained organization, its characteristic rhythms and structures, its distinctive grammar, and its disembedded quality (Kress, 1994; Olson & Torrance, 1981; Wood, 1998). While home and community are important to the development of a literate mind, it is the school that is commonly considered the most important site for children’s literacy development.

  • A Comparison of Two Methods of Teaching Beginning Reading by Earl William Britton a Thesis Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of T
    A Comparison of Two Methods of Teaching Beginning Reading by Earl William Britton A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF EDUCATION Montana State University © Copyright by Earl William Britton (1974) Abstract: This study dealt with an attempt to determine which method of teaching beginning reading to first grade children was most efficacious: a meaning-emphasis or code-emphasis method? Through a review of literature and an analysis of data, it was hoped that the following questions would be answered: 1) What composite factors determine the reading ability of a child? 2) What are the definitions of code-emphasis and meaning-emphasis programs of teaching reading? 3) What is the current philosophy in these two methodologies? 4) Will there be a significant difference in final standardized achievement test scores between groups taught beginning reading by the two methodologies? In order to answer the preceding questions and complete the study, the following procedures were followed: 1) establishment of a workable definition of the reading process, 2) development of an experimental design in which the control of natural processes is attempted and observed, 3) review of literature and related research dealing with the two methods for teaching beginning reading, and 4) analyzing and interpreting tests administered to the children in the program. Based on the results of the procedures outlined, some of the major conclusions reached were: 1) the mechanics of the reading process are merely a means to an end in the communication process that occurs between an author and a reader, 2) the abilities that a child brings to beginning reading are determined by a combination of social, genetic and environmental factors, 3) the code-emphasis method of teaching beginning reading produced, in this study, statistical evidence of greater achievement than did the meaning-emphasis method.
