Investigates 68 primary grade teachers' self reports of familiarity, utility, and perceived applicability of content reading strategies. Finds that teachers did not appear to be familiar with recommended content reading strategies. Finds also that years of teaching at the same grade level and workshop attendance appeared to have a positive impact upon independent variables. (PA)
