Several reform reports on American education that focus on improving the quality of instructional materials are reviewed.

L. Boyer's "High School: A Report on Secondary Education in America," the Education Commission of the States Task Force on Education for Economic Growth, the National Science Foundation, W. J. Bennett's "To Reclaim a Legacy: A Report on the Humanities in Higher Education," a National Association of Secondary School Principals and the Commission on Educational Issues of the National Association of Independent Schools joint project to study high schools (three reports by Sizer, 1984, by Powell et al., 1985, and by Hampel, 1986), the United States Department of Education's "The Nation Responds: Recent Efforts to Improve Education," the Carnegie Forum on Education and the Economy Task Force on Teaching as a Profession report, W. J. Bennett's "First Lessons: A Report on Elementary Education in America," and W. J. Bennett's "American Education: Making it Work"; and (3) to summarize the findings of the reviews.
