"Presents Marg Evans, language consultant, Toronto Board of Education, examining the readers used today in the primary grades. Raises questions about the treatment of sex-roles in many of the materials currently in use. Examines the assumptions made about female and male children, and adults in the illustrations and content of basal reader stories. Offers some suggestions as to how teachers can deal with this form of stereotyping."
