How Can Children be Taught To Read Differently? "Bill's New Frock" and the "Hidden Curriculum."

Wing, Alexis

Gender and Education, v9 n4 p491-504 Dec 1997

Explores the interaction between readers and books through classroom observations of 10 and 11 year olds reading and discussing the book "Bill's New Frock" (Anne Fine). Reactions from the 32 participating students appear to confirm the notion that girls and boys are treated differently. Included is a survey of the literature on feminist theories of reading. (GR)
