Excerpt from Teaching to Read The problems of the reading class are the Problems of Expression and the Problems of Construction. One by one the selections present them, and one by one the Suggestive Studies aim to help the teacher dispose of them. The book has been prepared more particularly for teachers, and those preparing to teach. Its first aim is to help them to be better readers; its second, to help them to be better teachers of reading.

Excerpt from Teaching Children to Read The author feels impelled to set forth the purpose and the scope of this _volume, lest the student of education in search of new theories and experimentations in the physi ology and the psychology of reading, be led astray. This book is given solely to the task of aiding teachers, who are seeking a method that has stood the pragmatic test, and that may, therefore, help them in their day's work. The author acknowledges his indebtedness to the large number of teachers from whose methods of 'instruction, he has gleaned much that is practical in this volume.

Excerpt from The Teaching of Reading: A Manual to Accompany Everyday Classics Books Seven and Eight Another element in the plans of the junior high school is the more distinct organization of the subject matter. In reading, for example, there will be grouping of the short selections read under some large general topic; such grouping, for example, as is shown in the Tables of Contents in books seven and eight of this series. There will also be frequent comparisons and contrasts, suggested by the teacher, between what the pupil is reading and what he has read before. The plan of teaching that helps him consciously to organize his ideas is better than the plan which leaves such organization to chance.

Excerpt from A Plan for Teaching Beginners to Read Realizing from my experience in teaching primary reading that preliminary work is necessary before putting a book into the hands of the child, I have tried this plan for beginners and have found it very successful. It may be used for any primer but it is necessary to decide on one, in order that the vocabulary may correspond.

Excerpt from A Teacher's Companion to "Reading in a Twelvemonth" Or the Problem of Teaching to ReadA desire to make the reading Exercises more attractive to children has entailed the necessity of altering the sequence and gradation of the lessons, all of which are entirely new, and of adding illus trations to some of the sentences and stories.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from How to Teach Beginners to Read: Thought Method As reading is the most important subject to the primary child great care should be taken that the best method be employed in presenting it. The main object in teaching reading is to train the child to interpret the thoughts of others and to express them naturally as if they were his own. This is best done by the thought method. The child should never begin to read with less than a sentence. The teaching of words and their meaning, sounds, etc., should be used as a means, only, in getting the thought, never as an end in themselves. As soon as the teacher becomes acquainted with the little folks, the first step is to get them to talk easily and naturally about familiar objects, things they have seen, etc., to answer questions correctly and intelligently and to express themselves in complete and connected sentences. This will not be found a difficult task as the children think in sentences and have talked at home and to their little companions in complete sentences long before they entered school. An attempt, then, by the teacher to teach reading to little children by the a, b, c, word, phonic, or any method that takes from the thought is a great mistake. Some time should be spent in conversational lessons; then from three to four months in development work from the blackboard. The work should be presented in the following order: 1 Object. 2 Spoken thought. 3 Written thought. 4 Recognition of words in sentences and their meaning. 5 Transition from script to print. The lessons to be developed and read by the pupils should always be prepared in advance by the teacher. In preparing these lessons the sentences should be arranged in an orderly sequence; then the blackboard development lessons will train the children to think in an orderly way.

Excerpt from First Reader The 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.

Excerpt from The Rational Method of Teaching Reading The quickest way to learn the mechanism of a clock or any other machine is to take it apart and then put the parts together again. As in teaching grammar we first take sentences and separate them into their parts, and afterwards take words and make up sentences, so in teaching reading we should first separate words into their parts and afterwards com bine the parts to make words'.
