So What's New in the New Basals? A Focus in First Grade.

Hoffman, James V.; And Others

Journal of Reading Behavior, v26 n1 p47-73 1994

Examines the first-grade materials in five new basal programs submitted for the 1993 Texas state adoption, comparing them with program materials currently in use in the state. Finds substantial changes in the more recent series. Interprets findings in terms of historical trends as well as recent developments in the literature-based and whole-language movements. (BS)
