Gwyther-Jones 1968

Reference
	Gwyther-Jones, Roy E. 1968. "Background in illustrations." READ: Promoting Literacy and Literature. Interest level: lay specialist.

Summary
	Argues for simplified illustration in primers for new literates. States that background information in the illustration confuses new readers because they are gleaning more than one idea from the picture. States precision is necessary in illustrating artifacts, dress, and weapons to avoid distraction.

Evaluation
	Author's point seems concise and accurate. Is a helpful article for those who may one day construct primers or literacy materials.
