Elson Primary School Reader, Vol 3 Classic Reprint

Excerpt from Elson Primary School Reader, Vol. 3

In this Reader the child is introduced to some Of the best stories in the realm of children's literature, and to many Of the great story-tellers, ancient and modern. The material has been selected primarily with reference to its interest for chil dren, and always with regard to its ethical and literary values.

The child at this stage is in the golden age Of pure fancy. In consequence, stories which appeal to his imagination are best suited not only to interest him in the printed page, but also to interpret for him his own experiences. However, the world Of reality should not be overlooked, and in recognition Of this fact Nature and biography, in fascinating tales and poems, have been included.

The book is therefore intended to be well balanced and many-sided. A glance at the classification Of the selections will show the many phases Of child-interest to which the mate rial appeals. There will be found fable, fairy and folk tale, legend, biography, stories Of heroes, of children, of Nature, and stories suited to the various festival occasions,-thanks giving, Christmas, New Year, Easter, and patriotic days. Each group serves a distinct purpose in the life Of the school and the child. There is something for every day's needs and for all the children.
