Book excerpt: Excerpt from The American Normal Readers, Vol. 4 Now this little book has been invited by your teacher to come in and to tell you many things which she thinks you will be glad to know. I hope very much that it will please you and will prove to be a true friend. You will find here stories of many kinds: tales of adven ture and of fairyland, true stories about countries far away and about the people in those foreign lands, about places in your own country which, perhaps, you have never seen, about boys and girls like you, and about famous men and women, who have lived noble lives for God and for their fellow -men and whose memory will always be loved and honored because Of the good which they have done. You will find, too, many beautiful poems, which are like the songs the stranger would sing for you. These poems will not be hard to understand. You' can readily catch the swing of the rhythm, and you will enjoy them as you enjoy music. I hope you will like all the stories in your book not only for the stories themselves, but also for the meaning in them, - for the thoughts they will bring to your mind.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The American Normal Readers, Vol. 3 For the primary teacher the study of history, especially in its beginnings, is extremely important. If we would really understand the minds of children, let us turn back to the pages of the past where we may follow the development of the race as it has been led forward toward perfect adjustment and realization, for in the develop ment of the race we may see that of the typical child. By actual experience in teaching we learn that certain things appeal most to children and are therefore most effective at specific stages of their advancement. We are often able to determine very nearly the learning point of the child's mind, and by the study of the child in the light of history we come to understand why all this is true. We see that those elements which have entered most persistently into the development of the race are the very things in which the child finds his greatest delight. This truth has a deep significance in practical education. If we as teachers will be guided by the natural spontaneous interest of children and if we will at the same time direct this interest toward their highest good, following in advance as it were, we shall not be found blindly striving against Nature and perhaps checking many a God-given impulse, but by understanding the child's real need we may be able to supply it more fully and exactly and so to assist the natural course of his advancement. This is the central thought of the American Normal Readers. An effort has been made throughout to provide material interesting and truly profitable to the child because suited to his needs, and helpful and suggestive to the teacher.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The American Normal Readers, Vol. 1: Prepared Under the Direction and With the Approval of a Supervisor of Catholic Schools The primitive arts and crafts are introduced in order to teach in symbolic form the community of human interests, individual rights and obligations, and many rules and principles which underlie personal conduct. The pedagogical value of fable and folklore in their effect upon the imagination has been fully recognized. They have a mythological background, representing the childhood of mankind, and for this reason they never fail to appeal to children. If we are wise in our choice and application, they are excellent tools for our purpose. The laws of association have been faithfully followed. Ideas and their symbols are carefully associated by comparison, by contrast, by relation of time or of place. In this way the child learns to think in an orderly manner, he is able to make true mental pictures, and by sufficient repetition to recall them at will, to remember. Frequent use is made of analogy, and words which have both a literal and a figurative sense are used literally first, so that a clear idea may be formed, and so that figurative language may really mean. Something to the child. If teachers will sow these little seeds carefully now in the imaginative years of childhood, the mind will become more and more appreciative of the best things in literature.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Normal Course in Reading: Fourth Reader; The Wonderful Things Around Us One afternoon when the school duties Of the day were done, a bright, thoughtful boy sat at his window.

Among these hills were small valleys leading into the one through which the river wound its way. The boy beheld this delightful scene with a look Of inquiry on his face. What could he be thinking about? What did he wish to inquire about? Was it the curious curves of the hills, giving such grace to the land scape, that pleased him?

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The American School Readers: Third Reader The subject matter has four chief elements: folklore and fairy story, historical stories, nature stories, and poems. The folklore and fairy stories are full of interest to children; they have humor and are decidedly ethical. The offensive stories of wicked relatives are omitted, as being immoral in their tendency. In their place are tales of enterprise and of common life which have become classics, and which tend to elevate the minds and characters of children. Historical stories are valuable at this age, because, while children are interested in fairy tales, they are also interested in real people, and this interest should be fostered in the school readers; so we have stories of Washington, of Lincoln, of Charlemagne, and of other historical characters, all by standard authors.

They could not see, therefore, why Karl was not satisfied.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In a masterful study Carl Richard explores how the Greek and Roman classics became enshrined in American antebellum culture.

Download or read book A Return to the Common Reader written by Dr Adelene Buckland and published by Ashgate Publishing, Ltd.. This book was released on 2013-05-28 with total page 216 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1957, Richard Altick's groundbreaking work The English Common Reader transformed the study of book history. Putting readers at the centre of literary culture, Altick anticipated-and helped produce-fifty years of scholarly inquiry into the ways and means by which the Victorians read. Now, A Return to the Common Reader asks what Altick's concept of the 'common reader' actually means in the wake of a half-century of research. Digging deep into unusual and eclectic archives and hitherto-overlooked sources, its authors give new understanding to the masses of newly literate readers who picked up books in the Victorian period. They find readers in prisons, in the barracks, and around the world, and they remind us of the power of those forgotten readers to find forbidden texts, shape new markets, and drive the production of new reading material across a century. Inspired and informed by Altick's seminal work, A Return to the Common Reader is a cutting-edge collection which dramatically reconfigures our understanding of the ordinary Victorian readers whose efforts and choices changed our literary culture forever.
