The article focuses issues and topics discussed during a convention of middle-school, junior-, and senior-high teachers at the Converse Campus for a workshop on content area reading in the U.S. in 1977. The teachers were re-acquainted with a typical elementary reading text. The science teachers found that the basal reader primarily used narrative materials, while the science textbooks, on the other hand, were usually written in a technical style. Many contend that the usual basal materials alone did not prepare students to use a science text with its technical style and many additional book parts. |
