About the Book An almanac is an annual publication that lists a set of events in the following year, including such information as weather forecasts, farmers' planting dates, tide tables, and other data in tabular form. Celestial figures and a wide range of statistics are to be found in almanacs, including the rising and setting times of the Sun and Moon, dates of eclipses, hours of high and low tides, and dates of religious festivals. In the United States Benjamin Franklin began publishing Poor Richard's Almanack from 1733-1758, and Benjamin Banneker, a free African-American, published a number of almanacs from 1792 to 1797. Also in this Book A library catalog (catalogue) is a register of the bibliographic items found in a library or network of libraries that are spread over several locations. There are many other types of catalogs, including exhibition catalogs, music catalogs, database catalogs, font catalogs, stamp catalogs and auction catalogs.And in this Book An encyclopedia (encyclopaedia) is a reference book that provides brief summaries of general knowledge or of a specialized field or discipline. Encyclopedias are comprised of topics that are generally arranged alphabetically but sometimes thematically. The entries are longer and more detailed than in most dictionaries. While encyclopedias have existed for 2,000 years, Chambers' Cyclopaedia (1728), the Encyclopédie of Denis Diderot and Jean le Rond d'Alembert (1751 onwards), and the Encyclopædia Britannica were the first to be presented in a form that we would recognize today.About us Leopold Classic Library has the goal of making available to readers the classic books that have been out of print for decades.

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.
