Synopsis

This book, originally published in 1912, is an early reader designed to teach children to read sentences, not just single words, as previous books did. The author began writing it after years of teaching children and realizing the need for more engaging reading materials. She believed in presenting children with content they could understand and relate to, so she wrote lessons that drew heavily from childhood experiences, such as directed play and special days like holidays. This reader, part of a series by the author, is specifically intended to provide lessons for the first six weeks of school and provides suggestions for activities to help expand children’s vocabulary and introduce them to sounds associated with various letter combinations. This reader contains a number of poems, songs, and stories that will delight young readers as they learn to associate sounds with words.
