FURTHER REPRO- DUCTION OUTSIDE THE ERIC SYSTEM RE- QUIRES PERMISSION OF THE COPYRIGHT OWNER." Foreword For some time, the National Council of Teachers of English has con- templated a new kind of professional service for its members: publication of an overview of all commercially produced instructional materials for students of English and the language arts. No such single reference now exists. We thought that such a work could provide English teachers gen- erally, and those committees who select instructional materials partic- ularly, with a detailed and objective description of all English and language arts materials in the marketplace. As catalogers, we soon found that our best course was to describe thoroughly one kind of instructional material at one school level. Given the galaxy of diverse kinds of instructional materials in English and the language arts, we soon found that we could not, in one volume, describe in depth more than print-based instructional materials for grades 7-12. That discovery forces us, for the time being, to omit wholly audiovisual materials, and materials of whatever kind for elementary school and col- lege students. Perhaps if the present catalog enables secondary school English teachers to screen and sift print-based materials more easily, we shall venture to those other parts of the galaxy. To compile this Guide, we first solicited entries from 375 publishers. More than fifty educational publishers, including virtually every major house, responded by submitting entries written to NCTE format and subject to NCTE verification. The entries, a total of 550, were arranged and indexed by NCTE. We wish to make plain that inclusion in this Guide in no sense con- stitutes NCTE endcrsement. Those wishing evaluation of materials will find citation lines to an NCTE journal review of a given textbook or series, but, ultimately, evaluation is most pertinent when it results from review by the particular department or school district.Prices and addresses are of course subject to change. The Council hopes you will find the Guide a valuable reference and welcomes your suggestions and criticisms. PAUL.

Works of literature, audiovisual materials, and professional publications are included only when they are integrally related to specific, listed instructional materials. Entries are grouped into the 16 subject areas given on the Contents page. Four subject areas are separated into (a) basal series (materials which constitute a self-sufficient curriculum for two or more years) and (b) single volumes and packages. The LiteratureAnthologies section is further subdivided into poetry anthologies, short story anthologies, and general anthologies, books which include a variety of genres. An entry which could fit in more than one subject area has been placed in the area of its primary emphasis and cross-referenced. Within each section, entries are arranged alphabetically by title. However, the individual titles described in the annotation for a aeries are often listed by grade level or other sequence of difficulty. Annotations give: 1. Title, author or editor, publisher, copyright date, edition number 2. Prices for P13 (paperbound) and HB (hardbound) editions, teacher manuals, and supplementary materials, number of pages, ISBN numbers, ordering information 3. Primary audience, extended audience, and reading level 4. Accelerated and remedial ability level notations where appropriate 5. Description of the text, series, or package components 6. Review lines indicating the month and year of the NCTE journal issue hi which the review appeared The Directory of Publishers gives addresses for all publishrs, listed alphabetically by the publisher's full name. The Directory includes the publisher's abbreviation used in the Ability Level and Title Indexes. The Ability Level Indexes give titles, publishers, and page references for materials that publishers indicated were most appropriate for accelerated or remedial students. The Author-Editor Index gives the first listed author or editor of a title. The Title Index guides the reader to more than 830 individual titles described in the Guide's 550 annotations.
