Models for the Design of Instructional Text.

Duffy, Thomas M.; And Others

Reading Research Quarterly, v24 n4 p434-57 Fall 1989

Extends and partially replicates a study comparing a segment from a high school history text with revised versions by linguists, composition teachers, and "Time-Life" writers. Finds that revisions by composition teachers were most effective. Suggests that textbook writers revise texts based on comments made by readers as they read. (RS)
