Long Term Trend Reversing in Elementary Readers
Three Harvard researchers led by Jeanne Chall find signs of a shift toward greater challenge in elementary textbooks after decades of easier reading material. The study, part of a 600000 dollar College Board project, analyzes 35 texts from 1947 to 1975 and links rising difficulty to improved early test scores and broader educational practices.
