This basal reading series cross-reference guide can help educators (1) place students transfering from another basal program; (2) select appropriate enrichment basal programs to satisfy school district policies; (3) identify and select reinforcement skill exercises from other basal programs; (4) identify basal reading materials with similar skills sequences where the reading instruction philosophy is either eclectic or multibasal; and (5) select basal reading series they wish to review for adoption. The first section provides publisher-furnished information on reader levels, number of new words introduced, cumulative vocabulary count, and reported readability. The next section offers a list of the reading readiness skills presented in most basal reading programs. This is followed by lists of the word attack skills, vocabulary development skills, comprehension skills, and study skills presented in most basal reading programs. The appendix includes basal reading series sequences listed alphabetically by publisher. (HOD)
