TO meet these with advantage, his knowledge of the power of lot ters must be extended and perfected. He must continue to spell words by sound, and note silent letters. His attention must be directed to peculiar combinations Of letters by which given sounds are represented. The Table of Sounds, page 209, should become as familiar to the child as his letters.Reading-matter. - Acquiring additional power over new words as he be comes more familiar with the diacritical marks, the pupil will advance with rapidity and confidence.

Excerpt from The Wide Awake Fourth ReaderThe fourth reader of a series does not deal so much With mechanical details, which Should have been mastered in the lower grades, as with the more practical and aesthetic Sides of reading. The pupils are now beginning to learn by reading instead of learn ing to read; and the selections should be of two distinct types, those which contain definite statements of fact to be read and digested, and those which, by their entertaining style and liter ary merit, will lead to an appreciation and love of the best books. In other words, the pupils must learn to read intelligently, so that they may be prepared for the more serious study of history and geography, and they must also acquire a taste for real liter ature and become acquainted with good authors.All of the prose selections and many of the poems in this book are copyrighted material. They have not been used in other series of readers, and thus the tiresome repetition of reading a story over and over again will be avoided.In so far as is consistent with the necessity for. Grading the work to the understanding and ability of the pupils, the se lections are chosen with reference to their literary value and children will read with delight stories from the pen of such well known writers as Louisa M.

The Wide Awake Third Reader by Clara Murray Edited and Formatted for optional user enjoyment.- Our books are professionally produced and edited to provide the best reading experience- Our books contain unique illustrations that readers can enjoy - Check out our extensive range of top quality books on our site by searching Zellerz Publishing on Amazon Summary In this, the third reader of the series, great care has been taken, not only in selecting material suited to the needs and ability of the pupil, but also to arrange the selections so that he may develop the habit of acquiring interesting facts as he reads.In the first two grades the children need to learn the mechanics of reading,—the recognition of words, the ability to find out new words for themselves by means of phonics, correct pronunciation, enunciation, inflection, expression, etc., but in this grade especial stress may be laid on learning by reading,—getting the fact and remembering it. This prepares the pupil for the actual work of studying, when he is given a book and asked for the first time to “learn the lessons.” The questions at the end of many of the lessons should be read and answered by the pupil after he has read the selection. His answers should be thoughtfully prepared and correctly stated. Especial attention is called to the fact that the selections in this book are almost exclusively copyrighted material, and have never been and cannot be used in other series of readers. This avoids the tiresome repetition of stories, read first in one book and then again and again in others. Many of the selections are valuable from a literary standpoint, and the pupils will read with real enjoyment stories by Laura Richards, Mary E. Wilkins, Anna von Rydingsvärd, Helen Hunt Jackson, and other authors, noted for their skill in writing stories for children. The selections which deal especially with child life and interests in other countries will broaden the child’s view of the world, prepare him for the study of geography, and help him to be a wide awake child, just the child whom this Wide Awake Series is intended to develop.
