An experienced teacher of the early twentieth century, Emma Serl recognized the two things necessary for teaching proper English: capture the childs interest and drill, drill, drill. Primary Language Lessons is a drill book, but with a difference. Imaginative lessons and short, jargon-free instructions for teachers make it a pleasure for both student and teacherespecially when the teacher is a home schooling mom.
What makes this exercise book different?
Good literature. Emma Serl makes liberal use of writings by the likes of Robert Louis Stevenson and Samuel Taylor Coleridge as well as fables, folklore and maxims.
Famed artwork. Using reproductions of prominent paintings, Miss Serl trains children in observation and discussion. A unique approach to teaching oral language skills, it helps train children in art appreciation as well.
Comprehensive lessons and drills in the things parents want their children to master. The exercises here cover proper English usage, composition, punctuation, memorization, speaking, letter writing, dictation, reading, and etiquette in writing.

Reproduction Oral
The Lion and the Fox
A lion who was old and weak could not go out to hunt for food. He went into his den and made believe that he was very sick.
Many animals went into the den to look at him. When they came near, he caught them and ate them.
After a great many had been caught in this way, a fox came along. He sat down outside the den and asked the lion how he was.
The lion said that he was very sick, and he begged the fox to come in and see him.
So I would, said the fox, but I notice that all the footprints point into your den, and that none point out.
LESSON 18
Selection to be Memorized
Lady Moon
Lady Moon, Lady Moon, where are you roving?
Over the sea.
Lady Moon, Lady Moon, whom are you loving?
All that love me.
Are you not tired with rolling, and never
Resting to sleep?
Why look so pale and so sad, as forever
Wishing to weep?
Ask me not this, little child, if you love me;
You are too bold.
I must obey the dear Father above me,
And do as Im told.
Lady Moon, Lady Moon, where are you roving?
Over the sea.
Lady Moon, Lady Moon, whom are you loving?
All that love me.
Lord Houghton
