The Standard First Reader (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from The Standard First Reader

At convenient intervals appropriate memory exercises have been introduced. Committing these to memory will afford a most helpful and stimulating exercise. The child's imagina tion will be stimulated and a taste acquired for pure, clean literature.

Throughout the book great care has been exercised to pre sent reasonable experiences in chaste and stately language. Every form and variety of sentence common to the child is, however, in the text. It is believed that in this way the child's taste will be systematically developed, and an abiding love for the best literature acquired.

The drawings for this book were made by Miss Maria L. Kirk, and are as carefully and progressively adjusted to the growing interests of the child as is the text. The illustrations aid ln the interpretation of the text.
