Book excerpt: Excerpt from Literature in the Elementary School This book had its origin in several years of experience and experiment in teaching classes in literature in the Laboratory School Of the University of Chicago, when that fruitful venture in education was being conducted by Professor John Dewey; in many years Of pri vate reading with children; and in many years of lecturing to teachers Of children. Indeed, all the material bears the unconcealable marks Of its origin as lectures, it being extremely difficult to turn into decorous chapters in a book, stuff which first took Shape as spontaneous and informal lectures.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Reading and Literature in the Elementary School Furthermore, this theory recognizes the idea that the scho does not have the time to teach all that could be, learned with] a given subject, and that equal value is not placed upon' t various items Of that subject. The school cannot expect take time to teach pupils how to spell all the words in t English language, or to be able to solve all the mathematic problems, or to read all the literature that has been writte Nor do people place the same value upon the ability spell abracadabra and the ability to Spell about. For pu poses Of school instruction this means that the items with: a given subject have relative value, and the school should teac first and most completely those items that have the greate value.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Classics Old and New: A Series of School Readers Good expression in reading is the product of sympathy and understanding, and therefore, the child who likes to read is quite sure to take first rank as a good reader. The controlling purpose of Classics, Old and New is to inspire in children a love for reading, and thus, without their being conscious of the fact, induce in them the reading habit. This is about the best and safest of all habits. If we contrive to teach young people the mechanical art of reading, and fail, at the same time, to breed in them the impulse and desire to continue their education throughout life by reading, we have cheated them out of the best thing to be obtained by going to school. Good literature is an expression for the best of the world's activity, and the power latent in such literature to lift and en lighten the mind and spirit is greater than any other power, save, perhaps, the influences of home. The formal education of many of the children that will use this series of readers will cease with the elementary schools. This fact makes the prepara tion of the readers a very serious task, especially to one who knows children well enough to realize how difficult it is to know them at all.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Reader for the Sixth Grade I'r may safely be assumed that children in the sixth and seventh years in school are ready to enter upon a more' serious study of the best literature. The earlier Readers of this series contain many selections from the familiar classics of all ages. In the upper Readers the average pupil may now enjoy a greater variety of readings from standard authors, representative of wider fields of the world's culture. It should not be forgotten, however, that in any company of children in the elementary schools, there are few who have sufficient intelligence or maturity to study standard literature, as such, continu ously and exclusively. It has been the aim: of the authors, therefore, to present selections having informational and story interest as well as literary value. Combining as they do, then, interesting subject matter with distinction of style, these books will be found of great stimulative use in forming the taste of the pupils and in leading them, by attractive means, to the appreciation of the best in literature. These two Readers are reasonably well supplied with descriptive, scientific, and personal as well as purely imaginative selections. Biography, history, nature, and art have been carefully chosen so as to correlate with the average school curriculum.

Download or read book Lights to Literature Revised written by Abby E. Lane and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-12-12 with total page 424 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Lights to Literature, Revised: Book Four The purpose throughout the Lights to Literature Series of Readers is to furnish standard literature suited to pupils in the elementary schools. For a large majority of children, the time covered by the fifth and sixth years of school marks a transition in interest from the myth and fairy story to subjects of chivalry, adventure, history, science, and gen eral literature. The material of Book Four forms a natural and easy sequence to Book Three, and meets this advancing interest of the pupils. It fur nishes from the pens of the best authors, tales of chivalry, accounts of national heroes and events, descriptions of nature and of invention, and a large number of selections from classic writers in verse and fiction. These selections from the several departments of general literature will give the reader a personal knowledge of the sources of good read ing. Whenever selections have been made from larger works the title of the latter has been given at the close of the selection. This will serve as a guide to the pupil in his home reading. The selections are all in the language of the authors, and will intro duce the reader to the styles and qualities of individual writers. This acquaintance will form a basis for intelligent discrimination in the matter of reading, and at the same time develop the pupil's power in the use of language. Excellent portraits and carefully prepared biographical sketches of each author are given. These will add to the pupil's interest and give him valuable aid in his further investigations.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Problems of the Elementary School It is clearly impossible for an essayist to make form al acknowledgment of all the sources of his inspira tion. The student of education keeps his mind open to the influence of every honest word whether spoken by the thinkers of old or by the seers of to-day, and he keeps his heart open to the influence of the living child, to whom all educational systems owe their ex istence. And who shall say which speaks the more effectively, Plato and Emerson and Mark Hopkins, or the tow-headed boy in the fourth seat in the third row and the patient teacher who is leading him, helpfully and hopefully, according to her lights?

Download or read book Hero Stories From American History written by Albert F. Blaisdell and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-09 with total page 276 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Hero Stories From American History: For Elementary Schools This book is intended to be used as a supplementary historical reader for the sixth and seventh grades of our public schools, or for any other pupils from twelve to fifteen years of age. It is also designed for collateral reading in connection with the study of a formal text-book on American history. The period here included is the first fifty years of our national life. No attempt has been made, however, to present a connected account, or to furnish a birds-eye view, of this half century. It is the universal testimony of experienced teachers that such materials as are pervaded with reality serve a useful purpose with young pupils. The reason is plain. Historical matter that is instinct with human life attracts and holds the attention of boys and girls, and whets their desire to know more of the real meaning of their country's history. For this reason the authors have selected rapid historical narratives, treating of notable and dramatic events, and have embellished them with more details than is feasible within the limits of most schoolbooks. Free use has been made of personal incidents and anecdotes, which thrill us because of their human element, and smack of the picturesque life of our forefathers. It has seemed advisable to arrange the subjects in chronological order. As the various chapters have appeared in proof, they have been put to a practical test in the sixth grade in several grammar schools.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Elementary-School Speller IN recent years a number of careful investigations have been made as to the extent of the vocabularies that are employed by adults in personal and business correspondence, and also by pupils in the writ ten work required in Elementary schools. The results of these investigations indicate that in these several fields the number of different words employed is decidedly less than has been generally supposed. Accordingly, many educa tors have suggested that the vocabulary of the spelling book should be limited to the words in practical use in composition, and that ample provision should be made for their imten sive study in the regular drill work of the schoolroom. The elementary-school Speller has been prepared in response to these suggestions. It is planned to cover the formal work in spelling and word-study for the grades below the high school.

This book was released on 2017-11-29 with total page 458 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Story of American History for Elementary Schools Some sort of a first book on American history is now quite generally used in schools as a preparation for the more intelligent study of a larger and more formal text-book in the higher grammar grades. For beginners, a mere compilation of facts is dry and unsatisfactory. Such books have now given place, for the most part, to those prepared on a more attractive and judicious plan. The real aim in a first book should be to interest boys and girls in the history of their country, and to encourage them to cultivate a taste for further study and reading. This book is intended for use in the earlier grammar grades and to be preliminary to the study of a more advanced work in the higher grades. The author has also kept in mind the fact that the school life of many children is brief, and that all their instruction in Amer ican history must come from a text-book of this kind.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from History in the Elementary School Of course it is absolutely necessary that the scientific historian shall discover by a rigid method what our social past has really been. The disentanglement of truths from myths is a serious task and must be accomplished relent lessly. But the acceptance of this obligation does not by any means complete the duty of histo rians as a class. Since ordinary men cannot and will not know all that historians do, it is neces sary to choose that which is the more significant in the interpretation of the historic currents which have swept us into our present and will sweep us on to our future.
