McCabe, James J., Jr.

Community Review, v6 n1 p33-40 Fall 1985

Identifies noninstructional conditions leading to semiliterate high school graduates, including the inaccessibility of books, lack of time to read, lack of readers as role models, and barriers within the curriculum and school structure. Argues that educational reforms emphasizing only instruction are unlikely to change these conditions. (DMM)
