Basal Worksheet Directions: Are They Designed by Publishers According to a Student's Competency Level?

Miller, Samuel D.

Reading Improvement, v25 n4 p319-25 Win 1988

Evaluates the syntactical features (readability) and demands placed on students' memory (number of steps) by basal reader worksheet directions in the three most common basal reading series. Concludes that, with the exception of one series' demand on memory, worksheet directions are not designed according to students' competency level. (RS)
