Abstract
This study was made to present textile material in a reader for use in the home life unit of the social studies program of the primary grades.
In order to select the content for the reader, an analysis was made of the textile and slothing unit in then representative states courses of study.
To determine the objectives of present day primary reading professional literature by authorities in the primary field was studied.
It was found that textiles and clothing are important factors in each home life unit of the courses of studies analyzed and that the obvious trend in content in primary reading is for realistic, worth while material.
A reader was constructed using the four main textile fibers—cotton, wool, silk and linen as a basis for the content.
