Four Steps toward Literature-Based Reading.

Frew, Andrew W.

Journal of Reading, v34 n2 p98-102 Oct 1990

Outlines a descriptive (not prescriptive) approach for the creation of a literature-based reading curriculum. Describes the 4 steps (behaving with basals, redefining reading, revving up for reading, and letting literature loose) that took the author 14 years of teaching to complete. Argues that literature-based reading programs are fun, enjoyable, rewarding, and well worth the effort. (RS)
