Reading Teacher, v51 n8 p712-15 May 1998
Examines each Newbery-award-winning book from 1922 to 1997, reporting readability grade level and readability grade range. Finds that the Newbery award books are for children ages 9 to 16, and recommends that a separate category be established to recognize books of quality for emergent readers. Suggests ways Newbery books can be read in elementary classrooms. (SR)
