Excerpt from The Ideal Catholic Readers Fourth Reader
The teacher of reading distinguishes two periods in the ele mentary grades; the period Of learning to read, and the period Of reading to learn. During the first three years of school life, the greater part of the time is spent in learning to read, that is, in endeavoring to master the mechanics Of reading, and, at the same time, storing up mental pictures which tend to develop the faculties of the child gradually and systematically.
But when the children take up the Fourth Reader, a more varied and interesting field of literature is opened to them. Gradually they leave the realm of childhood and fancy and enter into a more realistic world. It may be said, then, that the Fourth Reader serves as a transition from the work of the Primary to that Of the Grammar grades.
The Fourth Reader of The Ideal Catholic Series is arranged according to the ideas and principles of the best educators in this country. While keeping the religious feature in the fore ground, the author has succeeded in introducing selections of real literary value which cannot help appealing to the true, the beautiful, and the good in the nature of the child.
