Release Date: 1987
Intended as a reference for researchers, teachers, and administrators, this book chronicles research, programs, and uses of computers in reading. Chapter 1 provides a broad view of computer applications in education, while Chapter 2 provides annotated references for computer based reading and language arts programs for children and adults in classroom and clinic settings, including LOGO, cloze procedure, language experience approach, special education, spelling, Native American education, and English as a second/foreign language. Chapter 3 introduces the reader to software evaluation guidelines and criteria, including references about the development of computer based reading programs and projects. Chapter 4 reviews computer based research on teaching reading, reading assessment, and psychological and physiological aspects of the reading process. Chapter 5 presents references on word processing, writing, and reading, and Chapter 6 offers explanations for the puzzling questions surrounding computer based readability and text analysis. References to computer based activities in reading readiness and beginning reading are presented in chapter 7, while chapter 8 discusses computer managed reading instruction. Chapter 9 details advances in computer based speech technology and reading instruction and the focus in chapter 10 is on text legibility and computers. Chapter 11 provides references about recent developments with CD ROMs (Compact Disk Read Only Memory) and CDIs (compact disk interactive), and chapter 12 summarizes by speculating on the importance of other emerging applications in computer based reading, such as simulations, artificial intelligence, programming and authoring systems, telecommunications and satellite communications, and robots. Two appendixes list companies that produce software and describe integrated learning systems that contain reading and language arts software. (SKC)
Reading Assessment and Instruction for All Learners
Weaving together the latest knowledge and best practices for teaching children to read, this indispensable text and professional resource provides a complete guide to differentiated instruction for diverse learners. Uniquely integrative, the book places the needs of English language learners and students with disabilities front and center instead of treating them as special topics. Accessible chapters on each of the core components of literacy clearly demonstrate how to link formal and informal assessment to evidence-based instruction. Special features include Research Briefs, Tech Tips, Internet Resources, Reflection and Action Questions, and dozens of reproducible student activities and assessment tools.
The Computer in Reading and Language Arts
In this stimulating and readable book, educators--most of whom have long been involved in computer-based literacy research efforts--provide up-to-date information on computer-based activities in reading and language arts. These experts offer valuable goals and strategies for integrating computer technology into the reading/language arts curriculum, including suggestions for activities that should and should not be used. They also address the basics of developing, evaluating, and using computer-based reading instruction programs. The unique benefits of computer technology to teach English as a second language, writing skills, and the reading process to early readers are thoroughly explored. Innovative Uses of the Computer in the Language Arts Classroom Computerized readability assessment Reinforcement and instructional objectives Student interest profiles Class book files This exciting book--in a broader sense--corrects the failure by many to consider the literacy issues that invariably surround and govern computer use. While the types of computer-literacy environments differ, the literacy requirements are still the same--the computer and the user must communicate through text. Thus, The Computer in Reading and Language Arts provides essential understanding of the literacy requirements and environments involved in computer use.
