Eighth Reader

Hardcover (Forgotten Books Jan. 18, 2018)
Excerpt from Eighth ReaderThe paramount design of this series of School Readers is to help young people to acquire the art and the habit of reading well that is, of interpreting the printed page in such manner as to give pleasure and instruction to themselves and to those who listen to them. In his eighth year at school the pupil is supposed to be able to read, with ease and with some degree of fluency, anything in the English language that may come to his hand; but, that he may read always with the understanding and in a manner pleasing to his hearers and satisfactory to himself, he must still have daily systematic practice in the rendering of selections not too difficult for comprehension and yet embracing various styles of literary workmanship and illustrating the different forms of English composition. The contents of this volume have been chosen and arranged to supply or, where not supplying, to suggest the materials for this kind of practice.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
