Synopsis
The First Reader is a Childs Book. It recognizes his longing for the story and helps him to satisfy this desire as he gradually gains power over the printed word. The First Reader includes the vocabulary of the Primer, and gives many opportunities for reviewing old words in new relations. It makes a distinct advance on the Primer in vocabulary and subject-matter, and emphasizes the careful grading so necessary at this stage of the childs growth. The child comes to his reading with personal experiences which help him to interpret and appreciate what he reads. The daily round of his life is full of exciting interest, and he takes pleasure in finding the children of his reading book living over his own experiences. It is upon this basis that the First Reader is built. The play spirit is dominant throughout the book, and it is believed that the games, dialogues and action plays will be very suggestive to teachers. Grateful acknowledgment is made to the authors for the use of the poems: Darling Little Clovers, by Kate Louise Brown, The Child and the Bird, by Margaret E. Sangster, and Noah s Ark, by Ella Given.
