The Image of the Family in Second-Grade Readers.

Kealey, Robert J.

Momentum, v11 n3 p16-19 Oct 1980

This study investigates the image of the American family presented in six recent basal readers published by Allyn and Bacon, Harcourt Brace Jovanovich, Harper and Row, Laidlaw, Macmillan, and Scott Foresman. It compares these model families to social reality in terms of family structure, ethnicity, and father and grandparent roles. (Author/SJL)
