Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Reading in Public Schools It is unnecessary today to argue the advantages of reading. From being the possession of the few, regarded by the people as a form of black art, read ing has come to be the heritage of the many. The man who can not read to some extent is now as rare as five hundred years ago he that could. By reading we satisfy our instant craving for current news, we read for the pleasure that literature affords, and we stand on the shoulders of our ancestors in all realms of knowledge. A librarian has said, Take away our reading, and the observation possible to one man, with the thought it will awaken, may result in shrewdness, even profundity, but they can never give him breadth.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from How to Teach Reading the Public Schools This book is intended primarily as a manual for teachers of reading in the public schools. In the preparation of the work the author has borne in mind the chief needs of the teacher: First, that he should thoroughly understand how thought and feeling are expressed; and, second, that he should have a definite graded method of instruction, in which the simple precedes the complex, and in which one element, and one only, is presented at a time.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Our Public Schools To be a source of enjoyment, reading must not involve labor or study. The reader or hearer must not be tasked to understand what is read. He must be so familiar with all words and phrases in ordinary use, that he can call them properly, and attach the proper meaning to them without an effort. And every public school should furnish at least this measure of knowledge to every pupil that attends a sufficient length of time. To read the printed page, is first and most important but the pupil should also be. Taught to read writing readily - ran acquisition of no little value in the daily transactions of life.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The American School Readers: First Reader The american school first reader is planned as the children's second reading book. It assumes that they can read the usual vocabulary of a good primer, either of this series or of any other. It is, however, closely related to the American School Primer. The children and their pets, whose acquaintance was made in that book, appear again here, with new experiences, in the earlier pages. But the keynote of the book is children's lore. The characters of the primer appear less and less frequently and finally drop out altogether. The latter part of the book contains children's literature only. The authors believe that this literature is of so excel lent a quality that it will intensify the interest of chil dren in the reading book, and hence in learning to read, and will also implant the seeds of good literary taste. Carefully organized lists of words for phonic drill are given on pages 135 - 137. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book Classroom Libraries for Public Schools Classic Reprint written by Buffalo Public Library and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-10-26 with total page 62 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Classroom Libraries for Public Schools The first purpose of this graded list is to furnish to teachers a convenient cata logue Of the books which the Public Library has to this date devoted to school use. We hope, by having such a list, to secure the aid of the teachers in the choice of each classroom library, so that the books may be suited to the age and capacity of the Children, and helpful both to teachers and pupils in connection with the course of study. The list is only tentative, and other books will be added from time to time, both from old books found to be needed and from new books published, as the wants of the schools require and the resources of the library will permit. The library will be very glad of suggestions from teachers, both as to changes in the list and the addi tion of new books. The selection of the books and the division into grades was first made on the basis of the reading from the Children's Department of the Public Library. The first selec tion and division was very carefully revised after trying the books in the classrooms of ten schools for a full year. The assignment of the books to the different grades has been changed and modified, particularly in the subjects of travel and history, to meet the requirements of the course of study. For instance, Cofiin's books on United States history have been continued into the ninth grade, although they are not above the comprehension of much younger readers, because American history is studied in this grade, and these books are found very useful and are much sought after. Librarians, superintendents of education and teachers in other cities, to whom the list may come, will find it Open to criticism, both as to books omitted, books included which perhaps should have been left out, and as to the assignment to grades. After a longer trial of the books by further use, and a larger experience by the com pilers, we will try to issue a better and fuller list with subject entries. The suggested list of reference books is also only tentative. It is added because it is a part of our plan to build up a good reference library in each school. The entire amount of the state appropriation awarded to those schools under the library care will be expended for this purpose each year, the Public Library furnishing all the books for the pupils' home reading.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Books and Reading for the Young: A Reprint From a State Report The public school teaches its children to read. It Opens to them a world of vast and varied literature. There are good books, good magazines and good papers, and there are bad books, bad maga zines and bad papers. While the printing press is thus a great engine of civilization, it is at the same time a great instrumentality for evil. As there is no better way to protect a child from evil than to make him a lover of good literature, so there is no surer way to corrupt him than by bringing him in contact with bad literature. The public school teaches the child to read, but it does not teach him what to read or how to read. It gives him the ability to interpret the printed page, but it fails in a great measure to cultivate in him a taste for that which is pure, elevating and instructive. It must not be forgotten that by giving the child the ability to read, we put it in his power to read the worst kind of books, and that, if left to himself, he will be quite as likely to take poisonous mental food as to take wholesome mental food. Indeed I think that, in view of the attractive garb in which vicious literature is clothed, he will be more likely to read to his injury than to his profit. The person, then, who teaches children to read and fails to cultivate in them a taste for good literature, puts an instrument into their hands which may possibly be used by them to their own destruction.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Classified Reading: Books for the School, the Library, and the Home, With a Full Bibliography of Education Much contemporary work is of this vital character, but the greater num ber of valuable books for the teacher are not among recent publications. The School Classic derives its life from the immortality of the literature it presents. The value of the school edition is in inverse proportion to the number of notes, the extent of adaptation and abridgment, and, for the old masters must be handled with due reverence, the childishness of the binding. Every hour of the day in every grade of the public schools, may be made fuller and richer in its results, by the use of the right books by teach ers and pupils. This addition to the teacher's power has become so widely recognized that nothing is more common than demands like the following.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The American School Readers: Fifth Reader It is not enough for children in the higher grades merely to read lessons in a reader. They should readunderstandingly and sympathetically, and should have their eyes opened more and more to the finer qualities of good literature. The authors believe that the use of this Fifth Reader will greatly help to this desirable end. The book, however, is not heavy, and the literature is not, like that of many fifth readers, beyond the com prehension of children. The questions for study are not learned and discouraging; on the contrary they are stimulating and suggestive, and will add to the pleasure of the reading. The authors beg leave gratefully to acknowledge the valuable criticism of the manuscript by Professor Charles W. Kent of the University of Virginia.

Download or read book Teaching Reading in Ten Cities Classic Reprint written by Eva D. Kellogg and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-11 with total page 122 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Teaching Reading in Ten Cities Perhaps no plan for helping teachers through an educational journal has ever been a greater success than the series of "Teaching Reading in Ten Cities," which appeared last year in Primary Education. Everybody who is responsible for the teaching of little children is keenly interested in the problem of teaching them to read. The ways are numerous. The results record every shade of satisfaction and dissatisfaction known to teachers. Rumors of what was being done in this branch of instruction in other schools reached the teachers; but they could not go and see for themselves. For this reason the work of the primary schools in ten leading cities of the Union was brought to them by means of this valuable series, prepared either by the primary supervisor or a leading teacher in each locality. The scheme became popular at once. Here was a chance to visit other schools and compare notes without leaving their own work. Many school principals used each instalment as it appeared as the text for a teachers' meeting for the study of teaching youngest children to read. The ten articles cover every prominent method or system for teaching reading to beginners now in use in our public schools, and primary teachers have found in them the help, the breadth, and the inspiration that the series was designed to give. It is a happy thought of the publishers of Primary Education to arrange these articles in book form for more convenient use and quick reference by teachers. May the new readers appreciate them as much as did the first, and may the first enjoy them all over again.

Very little use is made of such marks, and that only in Book One. Here they are used merely to smooth rough spots, and when they have served their purpose, their use is discontinued. In cases of peculiar difficulty, or of infrequent occurrence, the same word may be marked more than once, but even then there is a gradual elimination of the marks; as know, know, know, know.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from New Haven Public Schools: Suggestions and Directions for Teaching Reading in Primary and Grammar Schools The success of the teaching depends first, last, and all the time, upon the zest and enthusiasm and spirit which the teacher puts into the exercise. No subject needs more careful preparation than this one. Reading exercises are often merely formal and tiresomely mechanical; on the other hand, they are often full of life and spirit, the chil dren looking forward to them with eagerness, because the teacher, by her own deep interest and love of the subject, makes the lesson one of the most animated and enjoyable hours of the day. The teacher is earnestly advised to first read, herself, the entire book or selection, if it be one with which she is not familiar. It will then be more easily, skilfully, and intelligently taught. She will then feel the conscious ness of being master of the whole work. While she may not know all around, above, and below her subject, she will at least know through it.

Shewmake Jr. and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-01-08 with total page 26 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Private Reading of Public-School Teachers, And, General Suggestions Concerning the Teaching of Music in the Grades A study of literature by types is perhaps the best method of mak ing a first-hand survey of the general field of good writing. Within each of the two general divisions, prose and poetry, there are several definite forms, including the prose types known as history, oratory, biography, the letter, the essay, the novel, and the short story; and the poetic forms called the epic, the lyric, the drama, and the ballad.* The benefits to be derived from reading and reflecting upon some of the best examples of these eleven literary types are in most cases too obvious to need elaboration here; but there are certain large effects that the careful reading of literature of the right kind pro duces, and concerning these a few suggestions may well be made. Some literature is read primarily for entertainment, with the avowed purpose of driving dull care away. One reader may be entertained best by the short story, another by the novel, another by the letter, While still another may find that poetry of a certain type Will lead to the sessions of sweet, silent thought that will rest the mind and relieve it of the cares of the day. A word of caution may be inserted at this point. Let it be remembered that in choos ing material that will entertain there is no need to go outside the bounds of real literature. Many great works have a strong narra tive element, but to appreciate their greatness we must look beyond the story and find qualities that are products less of the imagination than of the intellect.
