Literature as the core of the reading curriculum: Multiple perspectives

The historical development of reading instruction and the recent growth in the quantity of children's literature have intersected in the last twenty years as a result of the contributions of those who study language acquisition, reader response, elementary school classrooms, and instructional practice. Both university researchers and public school teachers have documented the shift toward using more literature as a part of the instructional reading program. There has, however, been little documentation of how reading programs based on children's literature have been put into practice.
