The problem Of this study is to ascertain the reliability and, so far as possible, the function and validity Of certain silent reading tests. These tests, as will be shown later, di er in the performances which are required Of the pupils. They also differ in other respects. Their titles suggest that all of the silent reading tests included in this study are designed to measure silent reading ability. The fact that they differ widely in certain respects suggests the possibility that no two Of them measure the same type Of read ing ability, or at least that they do this with different degrees Of validity. The study has been restricted to tests which yield some measure Of the rate Of reading as well as a measure Of comprehen sion in order that the measurement Of both phases Of silent readingactivity might be studied. With one exception, the tests which have been used have duplicate forms. In addition to the Silent reading tests, certain other tests were given to the same pupils, because it was thought that the scores yielded by them might assist in the analysis and interpretation Of the scores yielded by the silent reading tests.

This book was released on 2017-12-13 with total page 66 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Probable Types of Difficulties Underlying Low Scores in Comprehension Tests The purpose of this study is to single out, so far as possible, the factors that are responsible for low scores on comprehension tests in silent reading and to group them in classes representing probable types of difficulty that underlie such scores. It seems that such a study will be helpful in suggesting types or fields of training that will improve faulty conditions. This study is to be one of status only; that is, the children used in the experiments were all at the same level Of school experience and no attempt was made to follow up the tests by corrective measures. A study of such corrective measures would be an excellent problem for a sequel to this study. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book Heat Wave written by Eric Klinenberg and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 2015-05-06 with total page 342 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The “compelling” story behind the 1995 Chicago weather disaster that killed hundreds—and what it revealed about our broken society (Boston Globe). On July 13, 1995, Chicagoans awoke to a blistering day in which the temperature would reach 106 degrees. The heat index—how the temperature actually feels on the body—would hit 126. When the heat wave broke a week later, city streets had buckled; records for electrical use were shattered; and power grids had failed, leaving residents without electricity for up to two days. By July 20, over seven hundred people had perished—twenty times the number of those struck down by Hurricane Andrew in 1992. Heat waves kill more Americans than all other natural disasters combined. Until now, no one could explain either the overwhelming number or the heartbreaking manner of the deaths resulting from the 1995 Chicago heat wave. Meteorologists and medical scientists have been unable to account for the scale of the trauma, and political officials have puzzled over the sources of the city’s vulnerability. In Heat Wave, Eric Klinenberg takes us inside the anatomy of the metropolis to conduct what he calls a “social autopsy,” examining the social, political, and institutional organs of the city that made this urban disaster so much worse than it ought to have been. He investigates why some neighborhoods experienced greater mortality than others, how city government responded, and how journalists, scientists, and public officials reported and explained these events. Through years of fieldwork, interviews, and research, he uncovers the surprising and unsettling forms of social breakdown that contributed to this human catastrophe as hundreds died alone behind locked doors and sealed windows, out of contact with friends, family, community groups, and public agencies. As this incisive and gripping account demonstrates, the widening cracks in the social foundations of American cities made visible by the 1995 heat wave remain in play in America’s cities today—and we ignore them at our peril. Includes photos and a new preface on meeting the challenges of climate change in urban centers “Heat Wave is not so much a book about weather, as it is about the calamitous consequences of forgetting our fellow citizens. . . . A provocative, fascinating book, one that applies to much more than weather disasters.” —Chicago Sun-Times “It’s hard to put down Heat Wave without believing you’ve just read a tale of slow murder by public policy.” —Salon “A classic. I can’t recommend it enough.” —Chris Hayes

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A teenager discovers racism and romance on his father's farm in author Cynthia DeFelice's Under the Same Sky. For his fourteenth birthday, Joe Pedersen wants a motorbike that costs nearly a thousand dollars. But his mom says the usual birthday gift is fifty dollars, and his dad wants Joe to earn the rest of the money himself and "find out what a real day's work feels like." Angry that his father doesn't think he's up to the job, Joe joins the Mexican laborers who come to his father's farm each summer. Manuel, the crew boss, is only sixteen, yet highly regarded by the other workers and the Pedersen family. Joe's resentment grows when his father treats Manuel as an equal. Compared with Manuel, Joe knows nothing about planting and hoeing cabbage and picking strawberries. But he toughs out the long, grueling days in the hot sun, determined not only to make money but to gain the respect of his stern, hardworking father. Joe soon learns about the problems and fears the Mexicans live with every day, and, before long, thanks to Manuel, his beautiful cousin Luisa, and the rest of the crew, Joe comes to see the world in a whole different way. In her sensitive novel, Cynthia DeFelice explores our dependency on migrant workers and simultaneous reluctance to let these people into our country and into our lives. Under the Same Sky is a Bank Street - Best Children's Book of the Year.
