2015 Reprint of 1911 Edition. Full Facsimile of the original edition. Not reproduced with Optical Recognition Software. Along with Charlotte Mason, Serl's work is considered one of the more lasting classics on Home Schooling. "Primary Language Lessons" deals with word usage, punctuation, capitalization, abbreviations, contractions, letter writing, memorization and recitation of poetry, retelling or rewriting of brief narratives, copy-work, and dictation. Overall emphasis is upon proper word usage in both spoken and written communication. Beautiful artwork reproductions (in black and white) are used as the basis for a number of lessons as are myths, legends, fables, fairy tales, historical vignettes, biographies, Bible stories, and nature lessons. This work is intended for second and third graders.

From the Publisher

An experienced teacher of the early 20th century, Emma Serl recognized the two things necessary for teaching proper English: capture the child's interest and drill, drill, drill.

Primary Language Lessons is a drill book, but with a difference. Imaginative lessons and short, jargon-free instructions for teachers make it a pleasure for both student and teacher. Emma Serl makes liberal use of writings by the literary giants of our English language heritage, as well as fables, folklore and maxims--the kinds of writing children should know if they are to become well educated in our rich literary traditions.

Recommended for Ages 7-9.
