Excerpt from The Rational Method in Reading: An Original Presentation of Sight and Sound Work That Leads Rapidly to Independent and Intelligent Reading

The special purpose of the Primer and the first two Readers in this series is to put the child, within a year and a half from his entrance into school, into possession of a complete key to English Reading; so that, should his schooling then cease, his ability to read would nevertheless grow with his growth and strengthen with his strength.

The method here introduced is a combination of the word (or sentence) method and the phonetic method. It differs in many essential respects from any before presented, the differences being based upon principles not hitherto clearly understood, or, at any rate, not properly recognized.
