Relationships between Literature Programs, Library Corner Designs, and Children's Use of Literature.

Morrow, Lesley Mandel

Journal of Educational Research, v75 n6 p339-44 Jul-Aug 1982

Observations of nursery school classrooms revealed that many lacked inviting library corners and that many teachers did not sufficiently encourage reading. (PP)
