An Investigation of the Use of Children's Nonfiction-Informational Trade Books in Selected Fourth-, Fifth-, and Sixth-Grade Classrooms in Illinois
Abstract
dc:descriptionStatement of the Problem. Elementary-school classroom teachers have been encouraged by textbook authors, educational authorities, and publications from professional educational organizations to use a wide variety of materials including supplementary children's nonfiction-informational trade books for instruction in all areas of the curriculum; however, little documentation has existed to describe how teachers are using these materials in their instructional plans. This study (a) investigated use of children's nonfiction-informational trade books in fourth-, fifth-, and sixth-grade classrooms in selected schools in Illinois from August through December, 1979, and (b) identified factors which influenced or did not influence use of these books in classrooms.
