10-second review: Author is disturbed by the overemphasis in elementary schools on fiction vs. nonfiction.
Source: P Colman. Language Arts (January 2007), 257-268. Elementary school publication of the National Council of Teachers of English (NCTE).
Comment: This complaint has been made a number of times in the past. I’m surprised that the overemphasis on fiction is still a problem in 2007, especially with the emphasis on whole language and the use of trade books instead of basals. . RayS.
