Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Nightingale Being A story for children and A parable for men and women. N china, you must know, the Emperor is a Chinaman, and all whom he has about him are I Chinamen too. It happened a good many years ago, but that's just why it's worth while to hear the story before it's forgotten! The Emperor's Palace was the most splendid in the World; it was made entire ly of porcelain, very costly, but so delicate and brittle that one had to take care how one touched it. In the Garden were to be seen the most wonderful owers, and to the costliest of them silver bells were tied, which sounded, so that nobody should pass by without noticing the owers. Yes, every thing in the Emperor's Garden was admirably arranged. And it extended so far, that the Gardener himself did not know where the end was. If a man went on and on, he came into a glorious forest with high trees and deep lakes. The wood extended straight down to the sea, which was blue and deep; great vessels could sail beneath the branches of the trees, and in the trees lived a Nightingale, which sang so splendidly that even the poor Fisherman, who had many other things to do, stopped still and listened, when he had gone out at night to throw out his nets, and heard the N ightin gale. How beautiful that is! He said; but he was obliged to attend to his property and thus forgot the bird. But when in the next night, the bird sang again and the Fisherman heard it, he exclaimed again, H ow beautiful that is!tin at? From all the countries of the World, Travellers came to the City of the Emperor and admired it, and the Pal ace and the Garden, but when they heard the song of the Nightingale, they said: That is the best of all! And the Travellers told of it when they came home; and the learned men wrote many books about the Town, the Palace, and the Garden. But they did not forget the Nightingale; that was placed highest of all; and those who were Poets wrote most magnificent poems about the Nightingale in the wood, by the deep lake. The books went through all the World; and a few of them once came to the Emperor. He sat in his golden chair, and read, and read; every moment he nodded his head, for it pleased him to peruse the masterly descriptions of the City, the Palace, and the Garden. But the N i ghtin gale is the best of all it stood written there. What's that? Exclaimed the Emperor. I do not know the Nightingale at all! Is there such a bird in my Garden? I've never heard of that: to learn such a thing for the first time from books! And hereupon he called his Cavalier. This Cavalier was so grand that if any one lower in rank than himself dared to speak to him, or to ask him any question, he answered nothing but P! And that meant nothing.

Download or read book Everyday Classics First Reader Classic Reprint written by Fannie Wyche Dunn and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-11-22 with total page 150 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Everyday Classics First Reader Children come to a First Reader after the Primer know ing a few hundred common words, and able to make out, by phonic analysis, some new words of simple form. That is, they have read a little, and acquired the power to read a little more. The problem of the First Reader is to stimulate in the children further interest, to increase their list of known words, and their command of the phonic elements, to quicken their pace and strengthen their confidence in their reading, and so enlarge their powers and add to their pleasure. For this, as for the other books of the series, the editors have chosen, from the established children's classics, prose and verse which all are expected to know. Much use is made of stories of the repetitive type. Not only do chil dren like the repeated form, but they get from it the most pleasing and effective kind of drill, and a stimulating sense of achievement. The poetry, the fables, and the other stories present ideas that are simple and congenial to young minds. New words are introduced very slowly at first, and are systematically repeated. Sure and immediate control of words is the right foundation for reading. In the illustrations the artists have not only helped to interpret the literature, but they have satisfied the sense of beauty and the sense of humor. Except for the word list at the end of the book, all teaching apparatus, helps and suggestions for the teacher, are excluded. These are given in the Manual written to accompany the text.

Download or read book Story Hour Readers Revised written by Ida Coe and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2019-01-03 with total page 208 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Story Hour Readers Revised: Book Two During the last few years, the teaching Of reading has been exhaustively studied from many angles, and the current trend towards simplification of material in the early grades is very marked. The Story Hour Readers Revised are in harmony with these recent tendencies. They attack the easiest problems first, employ a simple though relatively extensive vocabulary, and secure the children's interest through variety of content. In Second Year First Half of the revised series, the method used in the earlier books is adapted to the teaching problems of this grade. The child's phonetic power is developed in dealing with new words; dramatiza tion and oral reproduction continue to be important features Of the language work; and silent reading, begun in First Year Second Half, is here extended to the observation and discrimination of thought groups. Content. The material used in the Revised Second Year First Half has a wide range of interest, including simple legendary and historical narratives as well as folk tales and fanciful stories. Mechanical features. This book preserves in the earlier stories the phrase grouping which was a feature ofthe Primer and Book One, but the lines throughout have been skillfully kept to normal length. Through this ar rangement the child derives from the phrase grouping the assistance which he requires, and at the same time becomes accustomed to a normal page of type. After the first four stories the rigid phrase grouping is step by step abandoned. An important mechanical aid in the use of the book for Silent reading is supplied by the blank lines that mark the divisions of all thought groups which do not end with the page.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from For the Children's Hour In nearly every case it has been found necessary to adapt the stories to the immediate use of the story teller, whether kindergartner or mother. They have been shortened, and only such salient facts retained as will result in clear mental concepts, and make the stories easily told without undue taxing of the child's attention. A large place has been given to the fanciful tale, which has a direct educational value in the training of the imagination; and the accumulative repetition story, which develops the child's sense of humor, and appeals to his instinctive love of rhyme and jingle.

Download or read book The American Normal Readers Vol 3 Classic Reprint written by May Louise Harvey and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-01-20 with total page 226 pages. 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 Stories for Children The object of this little book is to furnish a series of easy supplementary reading lessons for the youngest children at school. As soon as the pupils are able readily to recognize five or six of the most commonly used words, these stories may be given to them to read. The words may be taught from the blackboard, from reading charts, or by any other method which the teacher finds to be best and most practicable. They should be chosen with refer ence both to their ready comprehension by the children and to the order of their occurrence in the reading lessons. As the children progress in the ability to read, variety and interest will demand' that the vocabulary should increase with greater rapidity; and soon, instead of presenting only three or four new words at a time, the teacher need feel no fear but that twice as many, and even more, will be readily learned.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Child Life in Tale and Fable: A Second Reader A taste for good reading is an essential part of an education. To develop this taste, while helping the child to learn to read, this book has been prepared. It is important, in the beginning, that the child should like What he reads, and that the lessons should not be so difficult as to mar his pleasure in reading. For this reason great care has been taken to make attractive lessons, Within the child's ability to read and understand. The stories, as the name of the book suggests, have been carefully selected from the legends, tales, and fables, which, by their genuineness and truth to life, have come to form a literature for children. The longer selections have been divided into parts of sufficient length for one lesson. By doing this it has been possible to introduce versions and adaptations of tales of real classical value. The more difficult words are placed at the head of the lessons, and are marked for pronunciation. A key to these marks is given and should be carefully studied.

Download or read book The Sprague Classic Readers Vol 4 written by Sarah E. Sprague and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-10-24 with total page 198 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Sprague Classic Readers, Vol. 4: Part One The author of the sprague classic readers understands children intimately. She has touched very closely the lives of many of them, in their plays and games, and in their work in the school room. She knows their ways, what they like, hat bores them, what exerts a happy influence upon them. She can take the child's point of view; and she can, also, take the adult's point of view in planning wisely for the child's welfare. This familiarity with child-life has, in my judgment, enabled the author to make an excellent series of readers. The selections inter est the child for whom they are designed; and this is the most important consideration in a reading book. The art of arts is easily acquired when the child uses it in gaining something he enjoys; but it is drudgery when it adds little or nothing to his pleasure. Myth, fairy tale, and fable, biography, history, nature study, the events of daily life, all have been searched over and the most attractive, and the best culled out for young readers. The selections in this book deal with a variety of situations and experiences which come very close to all children. And they all point upward and forward. They take the child in the sphere of life in which he normally lives, and show him an ideal sort of conduct. They do not tell him how to behave; they suggest good behavior by presenting concrete examples of it. If we can present to the young in literature. As well as in real life, persons, as well as animals, they are genuinely fond of, conducting themselves in kindly, courteous, brave, honest, and considerate ways, we shall do the most that can be done for their moral and social training. I feel that the author has succeeded in doing this very effectively in this book. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
