Don't Throw the Basals out with the Bathwater.
McCallum, Richard D.
Reading Teacher, v42 n3 p204-08 Dec 1988
Describes how basals help translate research into practice (responding to changes in theory), and provide on-the-job training for teachers. Notes that although continued revisions of basal series are necessary, they are useful for teachers who do not have time, energy, or expertise to develop reading materials and activities. (MM)
