Reading: "High Status" Rhetoric, "Low Status" Reality.

Reed, Beatrice Diana

Reading, v24 n1 p15-20 Apr 1990

Discusses teachers' intentions and practices, parental involvement in the teaching of reading, and the consequent view many children develop of reading as a low status activity. Suggests that teachers' reliance on commercially produced teaching packages for reading denies the intrinsic value of reading, which they claim to be so important. (MG)
