Teaching and learning materials

Children in primary school need a variety of teaching and learning materials to become fluent readers, including primers or basal readers, integrated readers, subject-specific texts, storybooks, and teacher's guides. Some of these may be considered textbooks, while others would not, so the broader term "teaching and learning materials" will be used to include all of them. This study will include most books and other materials created for a specific educational environment, as long they were created in a non-dominant language. Different combinations of materials are appropriate in different contexts, so including a wider variety of texts will also assist in finding a sufficient number of projects to study.
