Abstract

This survey identified study-skill tasks for the primary grades, and investigated three basal reading series to determine provisions made in the teacher’s guides for teaching the skills. An analysis was made to determine: 1.) At what grade level do the various teacher’s guides introduce the skills?; and 2.) With what frequency do the guides reinforce and expand the various skills? An instrument was developed with identified and described each study-skill task appropriate for the primary grades. The study-skills were divided into the broad areas of location of information; organization of information; and following directions leading to the location and organization of information. Broad areas were subdivided into specific supporting skills. An abridged version of the instrument was devised to record the level of skill introduction and frequencies of reinforcements and expansions for each grade. The three basal reading series surveyed were Macmillan, Ginn, and Scott Foresman.
