| Abstract: | Despite frequent criticisms of basal readers, most teachers use them as a basic instructional tool or as a springboard for
other reading activities. Basals play an important role in translating research into practice. As our understanding of the
reading process changes, so do the contents of basal readers. Used selectively and with judgment, basals can help teachers
provide a research-based reading program for today’s children. Through understanding how teachers use these materials, publishers
can design basals to meet their needs more effectively.
Ruthellen Crews teaches children’s literature and language arts courses in the College of Education at the University of Florida.
She has coauthored a language arts series and a basal reading series. Formerly a classroom teacher at elementary and secondary
levels, she strongly supports an integrated approach to teaching. |
