Abstract
This study examined the effect of incorporating literature in a social studies program. Two sixth grade classes were used. The experimental group had literature pertinent to the subject read to them four days a week for a period of four months. The experimental group covered the same material but spent the entire class period using a basal text. At the end of four months two tests were administered--one to test appreciation and one to test retention. There were no significant differences between the mean scores of the two groups.
