An Unfortunate Distraction: The Real Books Debate, 10 Years On.
Beard, Roger; McKay, Maureen
Educational Studies, v24 n1 p69-81 Apr 1998
Reexamines aspects of the "real books/reading scheme books" debate that erupted into British literacy education in the late 1980s. Argues that the debate was not over-polarized, but that it did not take appropriate account of scholarly review of related research. Notes the relationships to current developments in the field.
