Synopsis
Excerpt from Wheeler's Graded Readers: A First Reader
It is of the utmost importance that a child's first steps in reading should be taken in the right direction. A child does not learn to speak a word by hearing it once, and he will not learn to recognize the printed form of a word by seeing it once. He acquired his colloquial vocabulary slowly at first and by the aid of constant repetition. In this way, and in this way only, will he learn to recognize words in print. It should not be forgotten that in the early years of his training the child is forming habits of reading and of thought by which he will be aided for the rest of his life, or of which he will by and by have to cure himself with painful effort.
The end of learning to read is the ability to read great books, but what shall the child's first reading book be Some of our educational wise men say that it should be filled with classic literature, and that it should containnothing which is not strictly classic. This sounds well, but these wise men have failed to produce the strictly classic First Reader.
