Cloud-Silva, Connie; Sadoski, Mark

Journal of Educational Research, v81 n1 p5-16 Sep-Oct 1987

Elementary school teachers in Texas were surveyed to determine (1) their attitudes toward basal readers; (2) the extent of their use of basal reader programs; and (3) their perceptions of state reading textbook adoption policies. Findings are presented. Issues regarding teachers as decision makers versus technicians are discussed. (Author/MT)
