 Reading Online - Articles: Early Childhood and Elementary Literature-Based Instruction
Literature is the sole or primary basis for initial reading instruction, or it is a significant supplement to a basal program.
Theorists in this area posit that literature is not an object to be studied, nor does any literary work have a single correct interpretation (Iser, 1978); rather, meaning in the text is constructed by readers’ own interpretations of their experiences while they are reading (Rosenblatt, 1978).
Morrow and Weinstein (1982, 1986) found that literature use increased dramatically when teachers incorporated enjoyable literature activities into the daily program, when library centers were created in the classrooms, and when recreational reading periods were scheduled on a regular basis.
