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.
