Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A City Reader for the Fourth Year This book is the outgrowth of the author's experience, as teacher and supervisor, with thousands of children in several public schools of New York City. Like many other teachers, she has found that the majority of children do not care for classical literature because they do not understand it. The classical literature of England and America does not represent modern industrial conditions. Its traditions are peculiarly those of the Anglo-Saxon race. The genius of authors leads them to treat of subjects beyond the comprehension of the average child, and the beauties of their style involve forms of language that are too difficult for most children. This book has been prepared with the above conditions in mind. The chief aims that have governed the selection of material are: (1) That the general limits of the content be determined by the city child's experience.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from City and Town: A Fourth Reader Like its predecessor, City And Town, A Third Reader, this book primarily aims to stimulate the child's interest in city life. Recognizing the fact that most fourth readers deal with country life, the fairy story, the folk story, and the myth, nature study and geographical subjects, the author has endeavored to lighten the monotony of the child's reading plan by giving him an enticing background of everyday city and village life. The policeman, fireman, postman, street cleaner, and the many other figures familiar to the child of city or town, are dealt with in a manner to inform and interest, and through each story there runs an appeal to the awakening civic pride of the reader.

Download or read book City and Town written by Pauline Frost Rafter and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-03-14 with total page 314 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from City and Town: A Third Reader Third grade readers may be divided into two gen eral classes. The first of these lays strong emphasis upon the imaginative element in literature, as the fairy story, folk tale, fable, and myth. The second corre lates closely with nature study. Other features that may be included in these readers are employed merely to relieve the monotony of an otherwise one idea book. It is true that children are interested in, and should become acquainted with, both of the above types of readers, but such readers, excellent to a limited extent, are not adequate. A well-balanced reading plan should provide material which appeals to the many sides of the child's experience and to the multiplicity of his interests and tastes. Three definite objects have been kept in mind in the preparation of this book which is offered to satisfy the demand for variety.

Download or read book Under Bow Bells written by John Hollingshead and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-18 with total page 330 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Under Bow Bells: A City Book for All Readers The twenty-five stories and sketches which compose this book are selected from certain papers written and published by me, during the last two years, in the "Household Words." They have been popular with the public and the press in a periodical form; and I hope they will not lose any of their popularity or readable quality in the form of a book. They have been placed together because they all deal with, or revolve round, one centre - the City; and being written with this design of future united republication, they fall naturally into their appointed places, without any elaborate introduction, any material alteration, or any laboured connecting link. This gives them their claim to their first title of "Under Bow Bells." Their second title of "A City book for all Readers" is given to them because, in accordance with the leading principle of the journal in which they originally appeared, they have endeavoured to retain some degree of fancy and imagination, while touching upon the driest subjects.

Download or read book Monsieur written by Lawrence Durrell and published by Open Road Media. This book was released on 2012-06-12 with total page 278 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the olive trees of southern France to Gnostic cults in Egypt, a man and his lovers are invented and reinvented in this first volume of a great literary adventure. For British doctor Bruce Drexel, a return to Provence is bittersweet. Here, at a rustic chateau, he once fell in love with Sylvie, the Frenchwoman who would become his wife, and befriended her brother, Piers. The three made up a peculiar, potent ménage for years until Sylvie’s descent into madness and Piers’s suicide. As Drexel attends to Piers’s affairs, he becomes steeped in the memories of a spiritually transformational trip to Egypt; the band of intellectual confederates who used to be his intimate friends; and a three-sided love that became his reason for being. So begins Monsieur, the masterful first entry of Durrell’s Avignon Quintet, an infinite regress of memory and imagination that challenges the formal conventions of fiction.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Stories of the City of London: Retold for Youthful Readers Stories either has been or might be made the subject of a separate instructive volume; but elaborations of History, with all their wide spread ramifications, are only really acceptable to the mature and already well-informed reader. To the young there must ever be a gradual acquirement of all sorts of knowledge, and those histories which are most diffuse, and those biographies which are most ample, do not always make the deepest impression on youthful minds. Remembering this, my aim has been to retell these true stories graphically, yet succinctly. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
