Excerpt from First ReaderThe chief difficulties in teaching a child to read are focused in the Primer and the First Reader. If the teaching in the first year is wisely done, the later work in reading should go forward smoothly and steadily. Every step in this fundamental work must be care fully planned and developed. The First Reader, therefore, should be a natural sequel to the Primer, with a broadening vocabulary that extends the child's power over words.The first reader in this series is an outgrowth of the primer. The two books carry the child to a point where he can stand alone.The authors recognize that children make varying degrees of progress and also that the first work in reading may be based on the Primers of other series. Consequently the early pages of this first reader are very simple and the new words on these pages are taught first in rhymes. The vocabulary of the book consists of words familiar to children and common to many Primers. Words containing the phonic elements have been used extensively So that the child may learn to help himself in the recognition of new words.The text throughout the book appeals to the almost universal liking for rhythm and for repetition in story and rhyme. Such repetition is the most interesting way of securing the word review that is necessary with beginners.The suggestions TO teachers that accompany the Series indi cate a plan of presenting the text and of developing the work in phonics. There are, however, no hard and fast rules that must be followed to attain success. The individual teacher may select, as a result of her own experience, a variety of methods and devices which have proved successful in teaching reading. This book readily lendsitself to any such methods. The method and the class and the book may easily be made to work together in harmony.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.
