Children's Books in Child Care Classrooms: Quality, Accessibility, and Reasons for Teachers' Choices.
Stone, Sandra; Twardosz, Sandra
Journal of Research in Childhood Education, v16 n1 p53-69 Fall-Win 2001
Investigated the early childhood teacher's role in selecting, reading, and making accessible high-quality children's books, and providing reading opportunities. Twenty-one teachers' responses showed that they mostly read books recommended for literary quality; a smaller portion of the books accessible to the children were of high quality. Problems included the absence of dedicated book areas, and variability of reading opportunities. (JPB)
