Download or read book The Jones Second Reader Classic Reprint written by L. H. Jones and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-19 with total page 224 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Jones Second Reader Each book in a Series of Readers should begin with work easily understood by the children of the grade for which it is prepared, but should push rapidly beyond the present limits of the pupil's interests and capabilities, thus becoming an important factor in the developing life of the children who use it. The Second Reader makes a distinct advance from the First Reader of this series in the range and character of its vocabulary and in the difficulty of its subject-matter. The attention of pupils may now be held through a longer narrative; and a much fuller treatment may now be given to ethical problems, looking toward the formation of ideals of life and conduct. Good literature correctly interpreted teaches its own lessons. When the child has learned to love good literature, he absorbs the life-giving elements from it as naturally as he takes the health-giving portions from the air he breathes. The subject-matter of the Second Reader has been drawn from the various fields of thought and action which especially interest children. Care has been taken to have the ideas embodied in the subject-matter of sufficient variety to assist children to interpret nature and life as exemplified in their daily environment.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Beacon Second Reader In the Beacon Second Reader the author has chosen for his stories only those of recognized literary merit; and While it has been necessary to rearrange and sometimes rewrite them for the purpose of simplification, yet he has endeavored to retain the spirit which has served to endear these ancient tales to the children of all ages. The fairy story appeals particularly to children who are in the second school year. It has been proved by our ablest psychologists that at about this period of development, children are espe cially susceptible to the stimulus of the old folklore. They are in fact passing through the stage which corresponds to the dawn of the human race, when demons, dragons, fairies, and hobgoblins were as firmly believed in as rivers and mountains.

Download or read book The Horace Mann Readers written by Walter L. Hervey and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-12-19 with total page 210 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Horace Mann Readers: Introductory Second Reader This Introductory Second Reader has been prepared in response to an urgent demand. Teachers using the Horace Mann Readers and the Daily Lesson Plans, the Teachers; Manual of the Series, have found that their pupils have made such rapid progress as to exhaust the material supplied by the Primer, the First Reader, and the Second Reader long before the end of the second year. They have therefore insistently requested the authors to prepare an additional reader which Should be, in point of vocabulary and phonic system, an integral part of the Horace Mann Series and suitable for use between the First and Second Readers. The present book, it is believed, satisfies these requirements and furnishes interesting and valuable material for reading les sons, word studies, and phonic drills. Teachers using this book are urged to make regular use of the phonic exercises, word problems, and drills, which are given, lesson by lesson, at the end of the book. For it cannot be too strongly emphasized that the highest success in teaching beginners to read depends, not merely upon the use of an abundance of well-graded, permanently interesting reading matter, but also on the wise and skillful use of phonics, the master key to inde pendent reading. Experience has demonstrated the soundness and the efficiency of the Horace Mann method of teaching reading. It has been proved that while methods depending chiefly upon mechanical repetition produce little result with great labor, the Horace Mann method, depending upon the intelligent mastery of oper ative processes, achieves great results with comparatively little labor. For an exposition of the theory underlying the Horace Mann method, together with practical suggestions for handling every phase of the reading lesson, teachers are referred to Daily Lesson Plans, the Teachers' Manual of the Series.

Download or read book Clear and Simple as the Truth written by Francis-Noël Thomas and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 2017-03-14 with total page 234 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Everyone talks about style, but no one explains it. The authors of this book do; and in doing so, they provoke the reader to consider style, not as an elegant accessory of effective prose, but as its very heart. At a time when writing skills have virtually disappeared, what can be done? If only people learned the principles of verbal correctness, the essential rules, wouldn't good prose simply fall into place? Thomas and Turner say no. Attending to rules of grammar, sense, and sentence structure will no more lead to effective prose than knowing the mechanics of a golf swing will lead to a hole-in-one. Furthermore, ten-step programs to better writing exacerbate the problem by failing to recognize, as Thomas and Turner point out, that there are many styles with different standards. In the first half of Clear and Simple, the authors introduce a range of styles--reflexive, practical, plain, contemplative, romantic, prophetic, and others--contrasting them to classic style. Its principles are simple: The writer adopts the pose that the motive is truth, the purpose is presentation, the reader is an intellectual equal, and the occasion is informal. Classic style is at home in everything from business memos to personal letters, from magazine articles to university writing. The second half of the book is a tour of examples--the exquisite and the execrable--showing what has worked and what hasn't. Classic prose is found everywhere: from Thomas Jefferson to Junichirō Tanizaki, from Mark Twain to the observations of an undergraduate. Here are many fine performances in classic style, each clear and simple as the truth. Originally published in 1994. The Princeton Legacy Library uses the latest print-on-demand technology to again make available previously out-of-print books from the distinguished backlist of Princeton University Press. These editions preserve the original texts of these important books while presenting them in durable paperback and hardcover editions. The goal of the Princeton Legacy Library is to vastly increase access to the rich scholarly heritage found in the thousands of books published by Princeton University Press since its founding in 1905.
