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.

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.

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 A Reader for the Sixth Grade I'r may safely be assumed that children in the sixth and seventh years in school are ready to enter upon a more' serious study of the best literature. The earlier Readers of this series contain many selections from the familiar classics of all ages. In the upper Readers the average pupil may now enjoy a greater variety of readings from standard authors, representative of wider fields of the world's culture. It should not be forgotten, however, that in any company of children in the elementary schools, there are few who have sufficient intelligence or maturity to study standard literature, as such, continu ously and exclusively. It has been the aim: of the authors, therefore, to present selections having informational and story interest as well as literary value. Combining as they do, then, interesting subject matter with distinction of style, these books will be found of great stimulative use in forming the taste of the pupils and in leading them, by attractive means, to the appreciation of the best in literature. These two Readers are reasonably well supplied with descriptive, scientific, and personal as well as purely imaginative selections. Biography, history, nature, and art have been carefully chosen so as to correlate with the average school curriculum.

Download or read book School Reading by Grades written by James Baldwin and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-10-24 with total page 498 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from School Reading by Grades: Sixth Year The pupil who is in his sixth year at school should be able to read quite well. He should be able to pronounce at sight and without hesita tion all new or unusual words; and when reading aloud, his tones should be so clear, his enunciation so faultless, and his manner so agreeable that his hearers shall listen with pleasure and shall have a ready under standing oi whatever is being read. He is now prepared to devote more and more attention to literary criticisin - that is, to the study of the peculiarities of style which distinguish any selection, the passages which are remarkable for their beauty, their truth, or their adaptation to the particular purpose for which they were written. The habit should be cultivated of looking for and enjoying the admirable qualities of any literary production, and particularly of such productions as are generally recognized as the classics of our language. While learning to distinguish between good literature and that sort of writing which, properly speaking, is not literature at all, the pupil's acquaintance with books is enlarged and extended. He learns to know what are the best books and why they are so considered; and he acquires some knowledge of the lives of the best authors and of the circumstances under which certain of their works were produced. The present volume is designed to aid the learner in the acquisition of all these ends. The selections are of a highly interesting character, and illustrate almost every variety of English composition. To assist in their comprehension, many of the selections are introduced or followed by brief historical or bibliographical notes. Hints also are given as to col lateral, or supplementary readings on a variety of subjects. To assist the pupil still further to enlarge his acquaintance with books and authors, additional notes, literary and biographical, are given in the appendix; here also may be found several pages of brief notes explanatory of dith cult passages, unusual expressions, and historical references, such as might otherwise be stumbling stones in the way of the learner. The numerous portraits of authors is another important feature designed to add to the interest and beauty of the book, and to assist the pupil to a more intimate acquaintance with the makers of our literature. Most of the full-page pictures are reproductions of famous paintings, and these, while serving as illustrations of the text which they accompany, are designed to Introduce the learner to some of the masters of art also, and perform the more important office of cultivating and enlarging his aesthetic tastes and sympathies.

Download or read book School Reading by Grades written by James Baldwin and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-11-22 with total page 176 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from School Reading by Grades: Second Year Tm; chief purpose of this volume, as of the others in the series, is to help the pupil learn to read; and to this object everything else is sub servient. Bearing in mind the fact that only those children who like to read ever become good readers, the author has endeavored so to construct and arrange the several lessons as to make each reading exercise a source of pleasure to all. The successive stories, poems, and other pieces have been chosen so as to present a varied succession of thoughts and images pleasing to the child - thus stimulating his interest from day to day, arousing his curiosity, directing his imagination, and adding to his store of knowledge. The gradation is as nearly perfect as possible, each lesson being but a little more difficult than that which precedes it. All new words that would be likely to offer the slightest difficulties to the learner are printed in the word lists at the beginning of the selection. Since each recitation must necessarily be short, all the longer pieces have been divided into parts - each part being sufficient in most cases for one lesson. This method obviates the objection usually made to long selections in books of this grede, and makes it possible to present in complete form several adaptations of productions that are by common consent recognized as classical. The constant trend of the lessons in all the volumes in this series is towards leading the learner, as soon as he is prepared for it, to a knowledge and appreciation of the best things in the permanent literature of the world.

Download or read book The Blodgett Readers by Grades written by Frances E. Blodgett and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-12-19 with total page 266 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Blodgett Readers by Grades: Book Six In the study of every art there must be a certain familiarity with the products Of genius before any attempt at classification is possible. This is as true of literature as it is of music and painting. At first the pupil has no more curiosity as to the authors represented in his reading book than he has concerning the musicians whose songs he sings, or the painters and sculptors whose work adorns his schoolroom. His teachers know, however, that in order to lay claim to any degree Of general culture he will need to become acquainted with the names and characteristics Of the master workmen in literature. When he applies for admission to one of the higher institutions of learning, he will assuredly discover that, whatever his special interests are, he will be expected to possess a definite amount of this purely literary information. It is true that it mav be acquired in the second ary schools, but only at a sacrifice Of time which is needed for other work. Much Of this knowledge may be assimilated quite as easily in the lower grades, with a corresponding impetus toward later achieve ment and enjoyment. A glance at the list Of authors represented in this and the succeed ing volume will Show scarcely a name that is outside the demands of literary culture. Yet experience has already made it clear that the selections are wholly within the grasp Of pupils Of the sixth and seventh grades. Most of the material is in narrative form, and all Of it, it is hoped, will stand the test of schoolroom requirements.

This book was released on 2018-07-31 with total page 266 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Special Method in the Reading of Complete English Classics in the Grades of the Common School Millions of children are introduced yearly to book land, and it is a matter of greater importance than what Congress does, what provision is made for these oncoming millions in the sunlit fields and forest glades of literature, where the boys and girls walk in happy companionship with the wisest and wittiest of our race. We have now had enough experience with these treasures of culture to get a real foretaste of the feast prepared for the growing youth. We know that their appetites are keen and their digestive powers strong. It is incumbent upon educators to get a comprehensive survey of this land and to estimate its resources: Other fields of study, like natural science, geography, music, etc., are undergoing the same scrutiny as to their educative value. Literature, certainly a peer in the hierarchy of great studies, if not supreme in value above others, is one of the most difficult to estimate. Tangible proofs of the vital culture-force of good literature upon growing minds can be given in many individual cases. But to what degree it has general or uni versal fitness to awaken, strengthen, and refine all minds, is in dispute.
