Synopsis

Excerpt from First Year Language Reader

The language readers are based upon the general theory that the work in reading and the work in language should be brought into close relationship. Arguments for this theory are presented in the prefaces to the higher books of the series.

The main purpose of the reading work of the first two years must be to learn to read. By the general agreement of expo ricuce, nothing so hastens a child's progress as the desire to read and actual practice in reading. His desire to read is, in the first place, aroused by his teacher, and fostered by the pleasure he takes in the work.° Not only the skill of the teacher, therefore, but the nature of the reading matter also, enters into the problem. For this reason, the editors and publishers have striven to make these books attractive to children in appearance and substance.
