Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Our Country's Readers, Vol. 5 The Readers of this series have at least one important distinction: they are composed almost entirely of selections from our own authors. Of the thirty-four pieces in this reader, thirty-two are from American writers. One selec tion is from The Pilgrim's Progress and one is from the Bible. The proportion of foreign and of native literature in American readers has been usually just the reverse of this, giving the great part to foreign writers and a small part to our own writers. And the native selections included have most often been those on which the copyright had expired or that had never been copyrighted. Quite a different plan has been followed here. The first design has been to present our own authors. The ground of choice has been solely one of fitness. Each selection from our native authors has been made on the ground of its representative nature, or of its special application to phases of our own home life. The result is the embodiment of an expensive collection of copyrighted material; but we be lieve the character of this material justifies the expense and labor incurred. In view of the fact that the selections are from Americanauthors, about American subjects, for American youths, it seemed appropriate to call the series Our Country's Readers. The selections presented are from the latest authorized readings, and correspond to the author's approved editions. The grading has been made with the utmost care, both from principle and theory and from actual tests with pupils.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Our Country's Readers The Readers of this series have at least one important distinction: they are composed almost entirely of selections from our own authors.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Our Country's Readers, Vol. 1 The lessons are, as nearly as could be given, actual lessons used in the school-room. An effort has been made to give lessons that are full of life and of interest to children, and at the same time to use all words introduced often enough to fully establish them in the child's Visual and written vocabularies. It is hoped that the lessons will be suggestive of the possibilities of arousing the mental activities of the child through those things which delight his heart. The reading lessons are drawn largely from directed play, by which means the question of ex pression in reading is solved.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Our Country's Readers, Vol. 2 AN attempt is made in this, the Second Book of our country's readers, to present material that is interesting to the child. The mere process of get ting thought from the printed page is task enough to tax his powers to the utmost; if we add to the great difficulties of this process, tasks for study in history, science, and the arts, he goes to his reading with aversion. On the other hand, in the world of the imagination and the emotions, he is very much at home. Trailing clouds of glory do we come, as Wordsworth has it. If: we give him sufficient material from this. Magic world of the imagination, he will brave the difficulties of the technical process cheerfully and successfully. Fortunately, this old, gray world of ours has a great storehouse of litera ture simple enough in conception, buoyant enough in spirit, and warm enough in color to fascinate the child. The work of the editor of such a primary book as this, is to make a proper selection from this storehouse and to present it in language simple enough for the child at this stage of his develop ment in the art of reading.

Download or read book Loxfinger written by Sol Weinstein and published by About Comics. This book was released on 2011-08 with total page 118 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Israel Bond may seem like a simple-if-sexy salesman for Mother Margolies' Old World Chicken Soup, but when the Holy Land needs his skills - his quickness with a pun, his second-to-none semitic seduction techniques, and (if absolutely necessary) his abilities at actual espionage - then the man known by the code name Oy-Oy-7 (licensed not only to kill, but to say prayers over the corpse) is there to do what needs be done. In a land surrounded by its enemies, Oy-Oy-7 is called on to guard the nation's great benefactor, the generous but odd Lazarus Loxfinger. Is there more to Loxfinger than meets the eye? Bond aims to find out, even if doing so requires sleeping with dozens of exotic beauties! In the mid-1960s, when Playboy was serializing the adventures of the world's most famous superspy, they interspersed them with the rollicking adventures of Israel's most hilarious weapon, Israel Bond. After the book editions of what the Chicago Tribune called "probably the funniest secret agent parodies ever written" had sold over a million copies, they were allowed to fall out of print. Decades later, all four books in the Israel Bond series are now back in new editions!

Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Country Reader, Vol. 1: Book One In preparing this American edition of Mr. Buchanan's Country Readers, I have tried throughout to preserve the simple language of the English author. Naturally, many changes were necessary to make the book suitable for our American schools. Volume I is devoted entirely to farm animals, an arrangement which I think is highly desirable. Volume II will deal with the soil and crops. As Mr. Buchanan states in his preface to the English edition, this book is not intended for very young children, but for the older children of both our rural and city schools; children who are able to read and understand the meaning of ordinary English words. The value of reading - especially of reading aloud - in training the young mind is, I think, recognized by all. It is the aim of these readers to assist in this valuable training by presenting correct information about those things around us which we have found to be especially interesting to the child.

Download or read book Builders of Our Country Vol 1 Classic Reprint written by Gertrude Van Duyn Southworth and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-11-23 with total page 298 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Builders of Our Country, Vol. 1 OF the narrative forms of history, the biographical has proved by far the most interesting and serviceable for boys and girls of ten or twelve; and experience tells us that for children of this age events in the lives of men must be told in a way that fixes those events by many striking and vivid pictures of each. In the twenty-five biographies here given, representing the most important builders of our country from the year 1000 to the beginnings of the American Revolution, the hero of each has received attention in proportion to the reach of his influence or of that of the group of which he is the central figure. The order of presentation is very nearly chronological, being otherwise only where there is a greater advantage in grouping locally; and, in returning to any region, the reader is referred to what he has already learned of events on the same soil. Thus, there is no confusion in his mind as to either place or time. It is hoped that the present volume will be found ade quate in every respect for the teaching of the elementary history of the period covered. It may be noted that it conforms minutely to the requirements of the Fifth Grade set down in the new Elementary Syllabus of the Department of Education of the State of New York.
