One frequent complaint about basal readers is that, when they adapt high-quality literature, they make pointless simplifications
that significantly detract from the value of the original stories. This article reports a study of adaptations of award-winning
stories for three grade levels. The results suggest strongly that, at least during the past fifteen years, these complaints
are unjustified.

One reason for the continuing popularity of basal reading programs is that they help to reduce the countless, decisions teachers
must make every day. They do not, however, eliminate teachers' decision making. Using a basal series selectively and critically
requires teachers to make daily choices and frequently to overrule the basal authors' suggestions. Considering the importance
of the decisions to be made with respect to basals, preservice and inservice education should provide specific guidance in
evaluating and using these instructional materials, at the same time that teachers are strengthening the general knowledge
base that supports prudent decision making.

Summary Now more than ever good translations are proving to be vitally important to fulfilling Shoichi Noma’s mission of advancing
good relationships between cultures. With the emergence of dozens of world-class Japanese writers, the translators of Japanese
literature have acquired a new significance and a new importance. No longer are they required to simply handle the language
like an exotic and precious commodity but they must prepare a writer’s work to compete with literature from around the globe
and let others understand the issues at their very heart of the Japanese people.
Indeed, the selection committee’s choice of Murakami’s Wind-Up Bird Chronicle is an apt example of how literature at its very best can span cultural divides to promote mutual understanding of very complicated
and important world issues. Written for Japanese to help them understand the devastation of war, it is a rare and timely book
that confronts Japan’s experience head on. Ironically, Noma’s idea that books are silent ambassadors, an idea born from agony
and defeat, so many years later is helping the world come together towards a unified vision of peace and understanding.
“Literature has been described as a means of exchange between the hearts of people. Literary translation, then, is the building
of bridges so that all peoples of the world can interact in this way.”

This article reports on a pilot study which aimed to consider the e-book reading experiences of young children and their families,
with currently available portable e-reader devices: Amazon Kindle, Nintendo DS-lite and Apple iPod Touch. Three families,
each with two children in the 7–12 year age range, experienced an e-reader for a two-week period. They recorded their experiences
in a diary and were interviewed at the beginning and end of the study. Key findings include the fact that, of the six children
involved, four rate themselves as ‘enthusiastic’ readers, one ‘average’ and one ‘reluctant’; whilst all six of the parents
enjoy reading. At the end of the study, all of the participants chose the Kindle as their preferred device and found it the
easiest to use. In addition, there were indications that the one reluctant young reader (a boy aged eight years) was inspired
to read by the Kindle. His parents were pleased with this enthusiasm, noting that he was reading rather than watching television,
excited by downloading and choosing books and it was the only time they had known him to ask to read voluntarily. When asked
whether they prefer printed or electronic books, all of the adults chose printed books, whilst the children were more ambivalent,
with half preferring electronic books. 相似文献

Learning how to evaluate reading texts should be an important part of preservice training. This study used a simulated textbook
selection process to compare differences in the consistency of experimental and control groups in evaluating textbooks. The
experimental groups, who were required to define their criteria operationally, were more consistent in their evaluations than
the control group, who used traditional checklists.

Children’s literature is essentially different from textbooks used in classrooms. It was primarily developed in India after
the establishment of Children’s Book Trust and National Book Trust in 1957. A truly multilingual phenomenon, Amar Chitra Katha was developed by India Book House and has sold over 80 million copies in some 30 years. The Sarv Shiksha Abhiyan programme
started by the Government of India, has done exceptionally well in developing and encouraging the development of children’s
literature in regional languages. English being the language of communication is understood in all parts of the country so
more books have been published in this language. Reading habits of children have been developed through reading campaigns
by Non Government Organisations (NGOs), Children Literary Festivals, Book Fairs, School Book Fairs and Book Clubs. International
and Indian Characters have also increased the publishing of children’s books and reading habits of children. 相似文献

An examination of the issue of literary massification and degradation of taste in the light of how locally organized reading
groups select and respond to books. Although commodification does somewhat narrow the universe of choice for these groups
it seems less important in shaping their use of books than are the opinions of cultural authorities or the reader’s own personal
experience. Further, the responses of these readers of “good” books resemble in certain ways what is known of reader responses
to mass market books, which also undermine a rigid dichotomy between high culture and mass culture. 相似文献

Between 1880 and 1950, the role of women as authors of elementary readers flowered and faded. From 1880 to 1915, female authorship
dominated. Over the next fifteen years female authorship withstood the challenge of the scientific movement in education.
Women’s role as solo authors declined, however, during the Depression, World War II and the postwar years. These changes are
explained by the deteriorating environment for female professionalism, changes in the concept of reading expertise, the expanded
role of publishers in textbook development, and the differences between men and women in opportunities for graduate study.

After settling in to his second term, Brazil’s president Lula da Silva has pledged to improve on his country’s woefully inadequate
education system. This means addressing illiteracy, which is one of Brazil’s most serious development issues. While Brazil
has the potential to be one of the world’s largest economies, it is hampered by high rates of functional illiteracy. Furthermore,
those that can read are non-readers. Consequently the Brazilian government has pledged to resolve illiteracy and launched
a nationwide reading program in 2005 with the optimistic goal of increasing the national reading rate by 50%. The article
analyzes the political risk in Brazil in light of the da Silva administration’s stated objectives. It will also assess the
impact of state literacy campaigns will have on the publishing industry and the potential for investment in the country. Finally,
it will discuss the importance of foreign investors in Brazil’s development goals. 相似文献

The development of the publishing industry for children and young adults is very recent in Morocco. Indeed it was in the 1980s
that people became aware of its importance for future generations. The first national publications were mainly in Arabic language,
stories were very short, books were of paperback format and the subjects were very much dominated by moral, social and religious
didacticism. In the late 1990s, publishers started being more and more concerned with the appearance of the book (size, cover,
illustrations, topic, etc.) and there are nowadays two publishers specialized only in children’s books—Yanbow al Kitab and
Yomad—who produce books that respond to international norms. They are both very active in promoting reading and especially
allowing children from disadvantaged social backgrounds to have access to books, price being a main constraint for those children.
But there is still a lack of publishers specialized in children’s books in Morocco (two publishers for the whole country),
not enough pleasant reading spaces and no real government policy to allow mass access by making books cheaper. 相似文献

Conversation is key and as the communication landscape shifts rapidly, harnessing ‘e’ is pivotal in extending ‘story’ as digital
evolves, catapulting publishing from analogue to digital. Harnessing ‘e’ is an exciting and effective way to add value, but
for ‘e’ to be implemented successfully and seamlessly requires more than a standard ‘roll out’ of strategy. Staying Single [1] was my MA dissertation project in the form of a fictional blog that bridged a fictitious digital world with a real physical
one as I supplemented Sophie’s story with souvenirs, additional digital content, UGC, and social media elements, all channelled
through Sophie’s fictional storyworld. This study was an investigation into the effects that interactivity and community might
bring to contemporary fiction, traditionally published in print form, by women, for women. The presentation of Staying Single as a cross-media, digital story challenged conventional boundaries for story enjoyment and involvement and attempted to vastly
expand the story universe, recording how the option for interactivity impacted the story. Readers were offered choices to
receive Staying Single through blog feeds, by email or downloaded podcasts, with additional options for involvement through multiple platforms—‘Pulling
Power’ ‘relationship’ documentaries, SMS alerts and ‘meeting’ Sophie in Second Life. My current transmedia romantic comedy
fiction, Loving NY will push these resources and opportunities further, enhancing and driving the story whilst engaging and interacting with
readers. Transmedia storyworld development is extremely fast-moving and with magazines offering web-cam enabled augmented
realities and iPhone apps allowing readers to GPS tag co-readers, these are extremely exciting times! To harness ‘e’ is to
offer options—levels of immersion and engagement, multi-platform choices, perhaps even linear or non-linear narratives with
the intention of organically reaching a wider readership far beyond the restrictions of print based novels. 相似文献
