Excerpt from School Reading by Grades: Second YearTm; chief purpose of this volume, as of the others in the series, is to help the pupil learn to read; and to this object everything else is sub servient. Bearing in mind the fact that only those children who like to read ever become good readers, the author has endeavored so to construct and arrange the several lessons as to make each reading exercise a source of pleasure to all. The successive stories, poems, and other pieces have been chosen so as to present a varied succession of thoughts and images pleasing to the child - thus stimulating his interest from day to day, arousing his curiosity, directing his imagination, and adding to his store of knowledge. The gradation is as nearly perfect as possible, each lesson being but a little more difficult than that which precedes it. All new words that would be likely to offer the slightest difficulties to the learner are printed in the word lists at the beginning of the selection.Since each recitation must necessarily be short, all the longer pieces have been divided into parts - each part being sufficient in most cases for one lesson. This method obviates the objection usually made to long selections in books of this grede, and makes it possible to present in complete form several adaptations of productions that are by common consent recognized as classical. The constant trend of the lessons in all the volumes in this series is towards leading the learner, as soon as he is prepared for it, to a knowledge and appreciation of the best things in the permanent literature of the world.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from School Reading by Grades: First YearThe earlier lessons in this book relate to objects which are famil iar to every child and which may be brought into every schoolroom. The transition from things near and well known to things remote and strange is gradual and natural, and parallel with the mental growth of the young learner.In accordance with the method pursued in the majority of the best schools, script is introduced at the same time with the Roman characters. This, besides other advantages, enables the teacher to make very extensive use of the blackboard in connection with each lesson from the book.The lessons are so constructed that, by variations of the different sentences, each one may be largely supplemented from the blackboard without the addition of new or unfamiliar words.The active propensities of the child are constantly recognized, the majority of the lessons being exercises in doing and observing as well as in the recognition of words.Easy and interesting reviews, containing no new words, are given at regular intervals. Connected with some of these reviews are a few simple exercises in language which, being largely suggestive, may be extended and continued at pleasure by the teacher.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
