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.

Download or read book Lights to Literature Vol 4 written by Abby E. Lane and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2016-11-01 with total page 424 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Lights to Literature, Vol. 4: Revised 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.

Download or read book Some Phases of Reading in the Elementary School 1919 written by Robert Hill Lane and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-08 with total page 28 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Some Phases of Reading in the Elementary School, 1919: Reprinted From the Series Published in the Educational Journal Because the Educational Journal is largely a principals' magazine, this article is addressed primarily to the elementary principal who desires to attack the problem of reading in his school. As far as possible, the writer wishes to put this into the form of a friendly talk rather than in the form of a finished essay, so that while we may lose something in the way of style, we may, perhaps, gain thereby in directness and simplicity. First of all, I should impress on the teachers of your building that reading is the most important subject with which we have to deal in the elementary school. Unfortunately, there is a tendency in this city, as well as elsewhere, to measure a child's progress, if not actually to decide upon his fitness for promotion, by his ability in arithmetic. Now, while arithmetic is a highly important subject, and merits our best attention, it is altogether conceivable that men and women may get along successfully in life with only a modicum of arithmetical skill. Indeed, the average person in adult life has little use for anything but the simple fundamental processes of addition, subtraction and multiplication, while reading functions to an enormous degree in the affairs of every day life, not only in conducting the affairs of the working day, but in the right employment of one's leisure. Hence, the position of so many teachers that reading as a subject, is of relatively little importance beyond the first and second grades is hardly a tenable one. In the next place, I should point out to the teachers that reading is an extremely complex subject, and one which is exceedingly hard to teach. Nothing is easier than to distribute readers to a class and to call upon the individual members to read in turn with an occasional criticism by the teacher. Such a lesson could hardly be called a reading lesson, but it is considered so in unfortunately too many cases. Again, there is a lack of clear understanding that reading must be considered both from the standpoint of silent reading and oral reading. Many teachers regard reading as synonymous with oral reading, neglecting entirely the wide field of silent reading. In the elementary school, it is indeed necessary to devote considerable time to oral recitations in reading, but the time given to oral reading should decrease from lower grades to higher grades, and the time given to silent reading increased from grade to grade until in the higher grades of the elementary school silent reading should receive most attention. In adult life, one's oral reading demands relatively an insignificant portion of our time, while silent reading for information or for pleasure is an indispensable part of daily life. Then, too, reading is complex in that the attempt to analyze a reading situation is not an easy task. To discover why a child fails in reading and to prescribe an adequate remedy calls forth the best skill which the teacher possesses; a task which is complicated by the truth that there is no panacea for poor reading, but every case, in a very real sense, must be judged upon its own merits.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Child Life and Literature The aim of this book is to call the teacher's attention to the choice of material in literature best suited to the nature and needs of elementary school pupils. To this end a gen eral survey is made of the field of child psychology, and a course in reading and literature is developed in harmony with the dominant mental characteristics and natural ih terests of children. It is gratifying to notice a tendency on the part of educa tional authorities to enlarge the school curriculum in liter ature. School readers alone must fail to interest children in reading. Complete units should be presented instead of extracts. Every phase of child life should be reflected; and all material should possess true literary merit.

Download or read book The Jones First Reader Classic Reprint written by Lewis Henry Jones and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-02-02 with total page 168 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Jones First Reader This is the first book of a series of Readers intended to cover the reading work of the eight grades of the elementary schools. It is not intended that the series shall furnish all the reading matter needed in these grades, but rather a basal line of thought and a vocab ulary sufficient for the interpretation of all reading matter used in these grades from whatever sources taken. Each book of the series is adapted to its place and part in such a plan. This book begins its work well within the child's present interests, but in some one or more of its lessons pushes each of these interests beyond the point which the child could reach without assistance. The subject-matter of this book has been carefully chosen from all fields of knowledge desirable for children of the age for which it is intended. Nature study has been given a prominent place, especially in the earlier pages. Animals have been presented through their most pleasing and characteristic attributes and the children are led to sympathetic and humane treatment of themthrough a real interest in them and their needs. Through out the book care has been taken to present the elements of ethics as applied concretely to conduct. The greatest service that a series of Readers can render to pupils is to supply each with proper standards of life and conduct. This book, as the first of the series, touches many matters pertaining to life and conduct, showing moral forces at work producing their legitimate effects. The lessons drawn from nature study give preference to the poetical rather than to the scientific interpretation of nature. The poetical interpretation, however, is always based on and developed from a correct relationship of facts, so that the child will have no mistaken notions to correct in his later scientific studies. This book is adapted for use through each or all of the modern methods of teaching beginners to read. The sentence method, the word method, and the phonic method - if such simple processes of teaching may properly be dignified by the term method - may be used to advantage, separately or in happy combination. The modern teacher knows well how to use good reading matter so as to develop the power to read well and at the same time to cultivate the love for good literature.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Language Readers: Fifth Reader Irving, Hawthorne, and Scott, which appear as formal reading lessons, carefully prepared accounts of the authors used have been arranged alphabetically in the appendix. Such arrangement will train pupils to use the reference lists as they use their dictionaries. These accounts should be utilized consistently. In many instances they present something of the romance of the author's life. The story of the struggles, ambitions, and successes of a writer often awakens in the pupil an interest which cannot fail to lead to the reading of other books by the same author. Too much stress cannot be laid on this feature of the work in reading. It is one of the most important functions of the teacher in the higher grades of the elementary school.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Literature for Fifth-Reader Grades IN grades below the high schools the reading lesson has a twofold purpose: to teach' the art of reading and to create and foster a taste for good literature. High schools now very generally have courses in reading and literature; but the great majority of young people never reach the high school, and for them chiefly this book has been pre pared. The more elementary work involved in reading has been mastered, or should have been mastered, before the fifth-reader grades are reached. The pupils are now ready to take a step in the conscious study of good literature when properly presented, and also to give more careful attention to the preper expression of what they read. So far as possible several representative selections, suited to the ad vancement of the pupil, have been chosen from leading authors. Some definite idea of the author and the character of his writings is thus secured. It is believed that the selections have been judiciously made. They are well suited to the age and maturity of the pupils for whom they are intended. The selections here used from Longfellow, Whittier, Stowe, Holmes.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Readings in Literature for Upper Grades Because of the importance of the subject of Residing in Elementary School curricula, much thought and attention have been given by prominent educators to devising methods whereby the beginner may be taught to master the printed page. The various methods invented and put into operation have resulted in rapid progress in the scientific manner of presenting and developing the beginnings of this art. In the lower grades, the advance that has been made in the teaching of reading is satisfactory from every standpoint. While the mechanical side of the art has been provided for, the content side has not been neglected. Unfortunately we cannot view with the same complacence the conditions that exist in connection with reading in the upper grades. There we are confronted with the two-fold problem, first, of continuing the process of aiding the pupils in the matter of oral expression, and second, of leading them to a real appreciation of the masterpieces of literature. No matter how excellent may be the results obtained in the mechanics of reading, unless the pupils are inspired with a love for good books, we have failed to accomplish the most important aim of the course. This double problem makes it necessary to select the reading matter for the upper grades with the greatest care.
