U.S. History Content in Basal and Supplementary Readers.

Garcia, Jesus; Osborn, Betty R.

Social Studies, v72 n6 p273-78 Nov-Dec 1981

Ten basal and supplementary elementary reading series were evaluated for U.S. history content. Approximately 23% of the stories in readers have a U.S. history orientation. The image presented of U.S. history is unbalanced and incomplete. What publishers can do to present a more comprehensive coverage is discussed. (RM)
