Types of Writings Found in the Early Levels of Basal Reading Programs: Preprimers through Second Grade Readers.

Flood, James; And Others

Annals of Dyslexia, v34 p241-55 1984

Analysis of eight leading basal reading programs indicated that the majority of selections were narrative materials, that poems accounted for 25 percent of the total selections, and that exposition accounted for 15 percent. Teacher's Manuals provided instruction on how to read various types of writing. Narrative materials were most often used for testing. (Author/CL)
