Abstract

THAT the new readers for primary-school children are becoming more attractive and more visually hygienic, even a cursory examination will reveal. But the content-is it as stimulating as the appearance of the books? A little first-grade girl in the initial stages of learning to read turned a page in her laborious reading of a long, cumulative story to find the beginning of another tale. Puzzled, she turned again to the end of her story and said, Is that all? So what! Fortunately such an experience is not typical. The story in the reader has improved, but is it fitted to teach as well as to teach reading? As one way of determining the proximity of the reading content to the child's world, eleven second and eleven third readers of popular series were examined to find the occupations that were mentioned in them. The names of the readers are given at the end of this article.
