This annotated bibliography contains 30 references and provides resources to understand the theoretical foundations of reader response--a literary theory that is currently gaining increasing attention in literature instruction. The bibliography ranges from 1982 to 1989 and is divided into four sections. The first section, "Teaching of Literature and Poetry," presents citations that offer strategies on how to implement reader response in the literature classroom. The second section, "Teaching of Composition," cites sources that suggest ways to incorporate reader response into the composition classroom. A section on "Other Teaching Techniques" presents ideas for discussion based on reader response, and how reader response theory applies to journalism, film study, and reading instruction. The last section, "Theory and Research," examines several studies on reader response. (MS)
