The Blodgett Readers by Grades, Vol. 4 (Classic Reprint) - Softcover
Excerpt from The Blodgett Readers by Grades, Vol. 4
Until the pupil reaches the grade of a fourth reader he is mainly concerned with the technicalities of learning to read. His attention has been concentrated on the printed symbols and the intricacies of their combinations. At this point, however, he is prepared to enjoy, without the hindrances that have hitherto blocked his way, the full use of his new powers, and he may fairly expect entertainment as well as instruction. These, the legitimate rewards of his efforts, should now be put within his grasp. He should be introduced to the masters of fiction and have at least a glimpse of the delights which Scott and Dickens, Hawthorne and Stevenson, will open to him. He should also build a foundation for the future study of history, mythology, science, and poetry, and he should make acquaintance, at least, with the literary storehouses to which he will find constant allu sion as his knowledge of books increases, Chaucer's Canter bury Tales, German folklore, The Arabian Nights, the Norse and Greek myths, and other rich treasuries.
