Peer reviewedJohnson, Charles D.; Crano, William D. – Journal of Experimental Education, 1978
This study reports the results of a program focused on the amelioration of reading comprehension deficits in a sample of rural children. The results suggest that spatial skills operate causally on subsequent verbal acquisitions, and may be central to remediation of reading difficulties in children of low socioeconomic status.

Fisher, Richard; Bruss, William – Colorado Journal of Educational Research, 1976
A survey of 120 fifth- and sixth-grade children indicates that the number of hours spent viewing TV is significantly related to perceptual passivity; that a negative correlation between perceptual passivity and reading achievement is not indicated; and that a negative correlation between the number of TV viewing hours and reading achievement does…

Oxford, Rebecca L. – 1978
Frequently a variety of visual perception difficulties correlate with reading disabilities. A study was made to investigate the relationship between visual perception and reading disability in families, and to explore the genetic aspects of the relationship. One-hundred twenty-five reading-disabled students, ages 7.5 to 12 years, were matched with…

Ohnmacht, Fred W.; Fleming, James T. – 1977
The difficulties children have when learning to read vary from child to child and from age to age. Some learning variables transfer as a child develops so that skills acquired in early learning stages transfer to more mature stages of development. However, the abilities that transfer and produce effects at one stage of learning may be different…

For the past 100 years we have been acting as if education in school was of words, by words, and for words, but in fact verbal literacy was preceded by visual literacy when humans communicated with body language before they had speech. American educators have been concentrating efforts on the left hemisphere of the brain in which the verbal…

Research on reading has tried, and failed, to account for wide disparities in reading skill even among children taught by the same method. Why do some children learn to read easily and quickly while others, in the same classroom and taught by the same teacher, don't learn to read at all? In "Language Development and Learning to Read", Diane…
