| contents | What Children Read in School: Critical Analysis of Primary Reading Textbooks. Zimet, Sara Goodman, Ed. Beginning Reading Multicultural Textbooks Reading Reading Materials Reading Research Reading Skills Sex Differences Social Values Textbooks The purpose of this book is to present in a single source a portrait of the primary reading textbook as a learning motivator and transmitter of a culture's values and behavior standards. Some of the topics covered in the twelve chapters include: a description of the methods and the results of the analyses of 1,307 stories from twelve of the most widely used primary reading textbook series; a theoretical justification of the idea that reading textbooks whose content has little interest, appeal, or meaning for the child will impede his learning to read; a comparison of the content of the library book selections made by middle-class first grade students with the content of first grade reading textbooks; a utilization of the information presented in the first three chapters to determine if first grade children do prefer the textbook stories which are developmentally appropriate; a discussion of multiethnic texts; a look at the role of males and females in American primers from colonial days to the present; and the relationship between textbook content and the social values and attitudes held by the establishment.
