Book excerpt: Purpose The purpose of this study was to discover the status and characteristics of reading programs in the public secondary schools of Oregon. Procedures Questionnaires were mailed to all of Oregon's 327 schools, 106 junior high schools and 221 senior high schools. Responses were received from 84.7 percent of the schools, 94.3 percent of the junior high schools and 79.6 percent of the senior high schools. The questionnaires consisted of two sections, one for schools without organized reading programs and one for schools with organized reading programs. The data were divided into eight different categories: (1) total public secondary schools, (2) total junior high schools, (3) large junior high schools, (4) small junior high schools, (5) total senior high schools, (6) large senior high schools, (7) medium senior high schools, and (8) small senior high schools. Randomly selected visitations were made to five junior high schools and to ten senior high schools to compare the working program with the described program. Respondents in 73.6 percent of the junior high schools and in 39.4 percent of the senior high schools indicated that their schools had organized reading programs. This is a total of 50.5 percent of Oregon's public secondary schools. Summary Respondents in 89.0 percent of the schools without reading programs indicated that a need for reading programs existed. Plans were being made to introduce reading programs in 59.1 percent of these schools. About 72.9 percent of the reading programs were less than six years old and a majority had been partially supported by Federal funds. Reading instruction in basic reading skills was generally provided in full credit classes which met five days each week. The prevailing method of:selecting students for the classes was by teacher and counselor recommendation along with their standardized test scores. In about 40 percent of the schools, 25 percent of the students had been identified as reading below grade level. In about 20 percent of the schools, 25 percent of the students were receiving special reading instruction Approximately 85 percent of the reading teachers have had at least one course in reading. About one-third of the schools had a written course of study. Tape recorders were used in 85.2 percent of the schools; controlled readers in 82.7 percent; record players in 68.5 percent; tachistoscopic devices in 67.3 percent; and pacers in 63.0 percent of the schools. Conclusions The status of reading programs in the state of Oregon is one of rapid growth. The greatest need for reading programs is in the small senior high schools. There is a great need for well prepared reading teachers. Oregon secondary students are being discriminated against because of the shortage of adequately prepared teachers of reading and the inability of the subject matter teachers to teach those reading skills necessary for understanding in their content areas. The total evaluative program is inadequate and inaccurate. Very little reading instruction is being given in the content areas by classroom teachers. The emphasis is upon remediation and correction rather than continuous development of reading skills. In general, schools with reading programs have enthusiastic personnel who believe the programs are successful.

Book excerpt: From the National Book Award–winning author of The Absolutely True Diary of a Part-Time Indian, the tale of a troubled boy’s trip through history. Half Native American and half Irish, fifteen-year-old “Zits” has spent much of his short life alternately abused and ignored as an orphan and ward of the foster care system. Ever since his mother died, he’s felt alienated from everyone, but, thanks to the alcoholic father whom he’s never met, especially disconnected from other Indians. After he runs away from his latest foster home, he makes a new friend. Handsome, charismatic, and eloquent, Justice soon persuades Zits to unleash his pain and anger on the uncaring world. But picking up a gun leads Zits on an unexpected time-traveling journey through several violent moments in American history, experiencing life as an FBI agent during the civil rights movement, a mute Indian boy during the Battle of Little Bighorn, a nineteenth-century Indian tracker, and a modern-day airplane pilot. When Zits finally returns to his own body, “he begins to understand what it means to be the hero, the villain and the victim. . . . Mr. Alexie succeeds yet again with his ability to pierce to the heart of matters, leaving this reader with tears in her eyes” (The New York Times Book Review). Sherman Alexie’s acclaimed novels have turned a spotlight on the unique experiences of modern-day Native Americans, and here, the New York Times–bestselling author of The Lone Ranger and Tonto Fistfight in Heaven and The Absolutely True Diary of a Part-Time Indian takes a bold new turn, combining magical realism with his singular humor and insight. This ebook features an illustrated biography of Sherman Alexie including rare photos from the author’s personal collection.

Book excerpt: Read-i-cide: The systematic killing of the love of reading, often exacerbated by the inane, mind-numbing practices found in schools. Reading is dying in our schools. Educators are familiar with many of the factors that have contributed to the decline, poverty, second-language issues, and the ever-expanding choices of electronic entertainment. In this provocative book Readicide: How Schools are Killing Reading and What You Can Do About It , author and teacher Kelly Gallagher suggests it is time to recognize a new and significant contributor to the death of reading: our schools. Readicide , Gallagher argues that American schools are actively (though unwittingly) furthering the decline of reading. Specifically, he contends that the standard instructional practices used in most schools are killing reading by:Valuing standardized testing over the development of lifelong readersMandating breadth over depth in instructionRequiring students to read difficult texts without proper instructional support and insisting students focus on academic textsIgnoring the importance of developing recreational readingLosing sight of authentic instruction in the looming shadow of political pressuresReadicide provides teachers, literacy coaches, and administrators with specific steps to reverse the downward spiral in reading-;steps that will help prevent the loss of another generation of readers.

Book excerpt: TEACH YOUR STUDENTS TO READ WITH PRECISION AND INSIGHT The world we are preparing our students to succeed in is one bound together by words and phrases. Our students learn their literature, history, math, science, or art via a firm foundation of strong reading skills. When we teach students to read with precision, rigor, and insight, we are truly handing over the key to the kingdom. Of all the subjects we teach reading is first among equals. Grounded in advice from effective classrooms nationwide, enhanced with more than 40 video clips, Reading Reconsidered takes you into the trenches with actionable guidance from real-life educators and instructional champions. The authors address the anxiety-inducing world of Common Core State Standards, distilling from those standards four key ideas that help hone teaching practices both generally and in preparation for assessments. This 'Core of the Core' comprises the first half of the book and instructs educators on how to teach students to: read harder texts, 'closely read' texts rigorously and intentionally, read nonfiction more effectively, and write more effectively in direct response to texts. The second half of Reading Reconsidered reinforces these principles, coupling them with the 'fundamentals' of reading instruction—a host of techniques and subject specific tools to reconsider how teachers approach such essential topics as vocabulary, interactive reading, and student autonomy. Reading Reconsidered breaks an overly broad issue into clear, easy-to-implement approaches. Filled with practical tools, including: 44 video clips of exemplar teachers demonstrating the techniques and principles in their classrooms (note: for online access of this content, please visit my.teachlikeachampion.com) Recommended book lists Downloadable tips and templates on key topics like reading nonfiction, vocabulary instruction, and literary terms and definitions. Reading Reconsidered provides the framework necessary for teachers to ensure that students forge futures as lifelong readers.
