This final report formulates objectives for literary instruction of a type suitable for inclusion in a central standard curriculum for the Swedish Comprehensive School and a coordination of curricular objectives with instructional procedures and evaluation methods. Based on results of questionnaires sent to literature methods teachers, literary scholars, authors of children's books, children's librarians, and cultural experts, a taxonomic approach to the study is developed which concentrates on goal descriptions and the objectives of instruction. A sample questionnaire with selective comments by recipients and an extensive list of figures and tables are included. (RL)
