Providing for Capable Readers: Beyond the Basal Manual.

Allen, Diane D.; Swearingen, Rebecca A.

Reading Horizons, v29 n4 p262-68 Sum 1989

Examines teacher practices of placing students in basal reading series, particularly capable readers. Finds basic inconsistencies between teachers' stated beliefs about capable readers and stated placement practices which are partly the result of the fear of skipping essential skills as outlined in the basals.
