Print on Demand. This book presents an instructional method for beginning readers by employing a system of physical actions to introduce written or printed commands. This "action reading" method is distinct from conventional primers and is designed as a supplementary tool, especially suitable for students who are new to the classroom environment or non-native English speakers. The method progresses through three stages: associating the written command with a specific action, recognizing the individual words of the command, and comprehending the meaning of the sentences. The author emphasizes that this method is not intended to replace existing primer methods but rather to provide an alternative approach that can enhance student engagement and comprehension. The book's exercises are carefully structured to ensure constant repetition and introduce new commands one at a time, allowing students to build a strong foundation in both the physical and linguistic aspects of reading. By engaging students' senses and promoting active participation, this method aims to foster a deeper understanding of written language and facilitate the transition to more traditional reading instruction. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book.…

Action Reading helps beginners learn to read through action, not translation.
This method, designed for the earliest stage of reading, emphasizes attention and active participation to build early literacy. It guides teachers in pairing written commands with actions, helping students move from seeing words to understanding and using them.
Three clear stages structure the approach. In the first stage, pupils associate a whole written command with the action, without translating each word. In the second stage, they recognize individual words within the command. In the third stage, they read sentences for meaning aloud, treating the commands as familiar units and focusing on word learning within a reading text.
The book also offers practical classroom guidance, featuring step-by-step lessons, strategies for managing groups and individuals, and a variety of engaging activities to reinforce word and command recognition. These activities aim to keep beginners energized and involved while building confidence in reading and following written directions.
- Three-step progression from action to word recognition to reading meaning
- Methods to secure attention and promote concerted class action
- Strategies for word drills, repeated practice, and engaging classroom activities
- Guidance for diverse learners, including foreign or backward pupils
Ideal for teachers introducing young students to reading, as well as instructors seeking a structured, hands-on approach to early literacy.

All Forgotten Books titles are printed on demand. The moment an order is submitted, it is automatically transmitted to our distributor and then forwarded to the printer, where it enters production. This process begins within minutes and is entirely automated.
A cancellation, however, is a manual, multi-step request that must pass through several systems. By the time such a request reaches the appropriate stage, the book has almost always been printed, packed, or already dispatched, which makes cancellation impossible.
For this reason, we kindly ask that you double-check the title, edition, and your shipping details before placing an order.
If you change your mind after ordering, you are welcome to return the book once it arrives, and a refund will be issued in accordance with AbeBooks’ return policy.
