Excerpt from McGuffey's Newly Revised Eclectic First Reader: Containing Progressive Lessons in Reading and Spelling, Revised and ImprovedThis little book is offered to the public, in the hope t that it may prove a valuable auxiliary to those engaged in the instruction of children.Great pains have been taken to select Lessons in which the language is simple, and the subjects interesting and natural to childhood; as we have learned, from actual experience, that a child's progress is more rapid when the subjects are agreeable, and he can understand the terms in which they are conveyed.The Lessons are short, and many of them composed of word of one and two syllables. Much care has been taken to render them as progressive as possible, so that the child may not meet with many expressions which are strange to his ear, and none that are above his comprehension.The Spelling Lessons are composed of words derived from the Reading Lessons. Some of the words are repeated in the spelling list of the different lessons, and the more difficult ones, as often as they can be found.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
