Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Fourth Reader of the Popular Series With reference to the few "Oral Exercises" found at the bottoms of pages in this and the preceding numbers, we would say, that they are not designed, in the least, to teach grammar; but to lead pupils in a natural, easy and philosophical way, and of their own efforts, to comprehend the meaning of what they read, and to explain it to others, void of technicalities. The Writing Exercises have a still higher object. They are a novel, and, as we believe, truly philosophical method of daily drill in the construction of sentences. As here planned they are exercises that will not be found at all difficult for those who go through them systematically, from the beginning of the book, while, at the same time, they will require some thought, on the part of pupils, to change the phraseology as required, - and more and more of it as the pupil advances; while in the latter part of this Fourth Reader he will find that he may exercise his judgment still further in selecting the best among several possible forms of expression. - [See the Sixth, Seventh, and Eighth Series of Exercises, pp. 200, 225, and 289.] It may be asked, "Why encumber a Reading Book with Exercises of this character, - and why not devote a separate work to them instead?" We answer, "Because they are very appropriately connected with lessons in reading, and really form part of them; - because they are much cheaper in this form than in any other; - and, what is most important, because they will be used extensively in this form, and without the necessity of separate classes in the school, and separate books." They are, moreover, to some extent, brief analyses of the Chapters; and hence, in addition to their main object, they serve as a kind of daily review of the reading lessons. Having long been convinced, both from our experience as a teacher and from the well-known views of prominent educators, that children are seldom provided with sufficient school-reading in their Reading Books, we have made most of the numbers of the present series somewhat larger than is usual. We have aimed, thereby, to make the gradation, from the beginning, very easy, and still to attain as high a standard in the selections of the Fifth, and the Supplementary number, as the needs of pupils require. There is little danger that the amount of interesting and useful school-reading will be too abundant. Parents can provide their children with no better, safer, or cheaper reading - considering quality and adaptability - than is generally found in their Reading Books.

Book excerpt: Israel Bond may seem like a simple-if-sexy salesman for Mother Margolies' Old World Chicken Soup, but when the Holy Land needs his skills - his quickness with a pun, his second-to-none semitic seduction techniques, and (if absolutely necessary) his abilities at actual espionage - then the man known by the code name Oy-Oy-7 (licensed not only to kill, but to say prayers over the corpse) is there to do what needs be done. In a land surrounded by its enemies, Oy-Oy-7 is called on to guard the nation's great benefactor, the generous but odd Lazarus Loxfinger. Is there more to Loxfinger than meets the eye? Bond aims to find out, even if doing so requires sleeping with dozens of exotic beauties! In the mid-1960s, when Playboy was serializing the adventures of the world's most famous superspy, they interspersed them with the rollicking adventures of Israel's most hilarious weapon, Israel Bond. After the book editions of what the Chicago Tribune called "probably the funniest secret agent parodies ever written" had sold over a million copies, they were allowed to fall out of print. Decades later, all four books in the Israel Bond series are now back in new editions!

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Fourth Reader While doubtless much good has come from reading the brief selec tions from standard authors found in the ordinary readers, they have failed of the prime purpose of inculcating a fondness for literature in its completeness and a taste for reading good books. It is not improbable that the too prevalent taste for scrappy reading is partially derived from the character of the reading books upon which children have been fed. Hence as many selections as possible in these Readers are given in full, and it is urged that teachers treat them as complete works of literature and see that they are studied as such.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Everyday Classics: Fourth Reader A classic is something more easily known than defined. It is not necessarily abstruse, difficult, or remote from common life. It is a piece of literature that has received the approval of good judges for a long enough time to make that approval settled. Like good music, it cannot grow old; it is last year's rag-time that becomes unpleasant, not the good old songs. A classic may be as old as Homer, or as new as Hawthorne; it may be as difficult as Dante, or as simple as Mother Goose.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Reading-Literature: Fourth Reader The frost-giants were always trying to get into Asgard. For more than half the year they held the world in their grasp. They locked up the streams in their rocky beds, hushing their music and the music of the birds as well. They left nothing but a wild waste under the cold Sky. They hated the warm sunshine which stirs the wild flowers out of their Sleep, and covers the mountains with verdure, and sets all the birds a-singing in the tree-tops. Above all, they hated Thor, whose flashing hammer drove them back into J O'-tun-heim and guarded the summer Sky. So long as Thor had his hammer Asgard was safe against the giants.

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. He saw the river that swept past the garden wall. On the other side Of the river lay a beautiful val ley, and beyond this, long lines Of hills. 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?

Download or read book The Jones Fourth Reader Classic Reprint written by L. H. Jones and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-01-22 with total page 428 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Jones Fourth Reader This book is intended to cover the work in reading for the fourth and fifth school years. Pupils who enter the fourth school year are supposed to have mastered to at least a fair degree the mechanics of learning to read. They may therefore begin to appreciate the better class of literature, in which ideas are put forth in artistic form. The transition to such literature must needs be made slowly and carefully, inasmuch as the new matter brings with it a somewhat new vocabulary and a more complicated construction of sentence. The selections in the first part of this reader have been chosen with especial reference to bridging over for the child the natural chasm between the forms of thought and language of childhood and those appropriate to youth. The selections lead to the best in literature that is available for young readers. Attention is called particularly to the fact that many of the selections used are organic parts of larger works, to which the notice and interest of pupils will naturally be directed through the reading of these selected parts. Care has been taken that the part chosen in each case shall constitute an artistic literary whole, while sustaining its organic relations to the work from which it is taken. Great care has also been given to the kind and range of ideas embodied. The book has a distinctly moral bearing, assisting the young to form right ideas of life and conduct. Every department of laudable human aspiration and endeavor is rep resented in some appropriate concrete form, and every noble instinct is reenforced by its appropriate stimulus.

Download or read book Fourth Reader Classic Reprint written by Franklin B. Dyer and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-12 with total page 332 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Fourth Reader This Fourth Reader is designed to meet the children on their own level and to lead them by easy stages to a higher plane. They are now at an age when their ability to understand and appreciate is far in advance of their reading ability. They enjoy great stories and appreciate fine sentiment if the language does not offer too many difficulties. In the preparation of this Reader, therefore, special attention has been given to keeping the vocabulary within range of the pupil's ability. The earlier part of the book contains selections that are simple in vocabulary and sentence structure, and the later lessons provide for a steady growth, without introducing tedious difficulties. Ideas and ideals, however, are more important than forms and vocabularies. Already the children have begun to enjoy some of the masterpieces of literature. It frequently happens that they can appreciate part of a long story before they can read it in the complete form. It is also true that the reading of a simplified version of a classic is often the best introduction to the reading of the classic itself. In the selections that are here abridged from longer works, the spirit and the language of the author have been preserved. Moreover, these selections are always complete units and are of sufficient length to aid in establishing habits of sustained attention and interest. While most of the selections are fresh and unhackneyed, classics that every child should know have also been included.

Download or read book The Language Readers written by Joseph H. Wade and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-11 with total page 310 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Language Readers: Fourth Reader The lessons in this fifth book of the Language Readers have been written or selected to meet the requirements of fourth-year pupils. At this period of school life it is possible to lay the foundations of a literary sense if the reading lessons exhibit interesting diversity of content, and the language is adapted to the understanding of the child. In this reader frequent use has been made of the legends and folk stories of different nations, because the human interest in such stories appeals strongly to the child's mind. Fairy stories from Hans Christian Andersen and other sources have also been included, for this is the age when the child's enjoyment of the fairy tale has reached its zenith. Much has been accomplished in the education of the young when a desire to read has been aroused But the reading must be select in content as well as literary in form; hence stories of patriotism and lessons with a direct ethical purpose have been included in this book. Such reading tends directly to the development of character, and the ethical purpose in the lesson is best taught through the interest in the story. The value of the earliest work in literature is measured by the interest aroused and the profit the child obtains from his reading. This marks the beginning of a literary taste. Its development is a matter of slow growth. It cannot be forced. It must follow the same general principle - from the simple to the more difficult - that underlies the teaching of other subjects.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The New Century Fourth Reader: Selected and Adapted From the World's Standard Literature In placing this book in the hands of pupil and teacher, it will not be amiss to offer a few suggestions on the art of reading. Few understand this simple art; yet to have mastered it means that we are to get, through life, twice, often thrice and four times, as much from what we read. With the Fourth Reader we begin to study something more than the pronunciation of words. From this point on, reading should be a training in the gathering up of thought from the words or symbols with which we have already become more or less familiar. It is a matter of surprise how much thought a printed page con tains. The greater the writer, the more there is in a page of his writing. To extract all that the classic author has stored away for us is by no means easy. The truth is, we must re-create his thought, his dreams, his noble conceptions, after him; in short, we have to share in his genius and his skill. In our case, fortunately, he is our guide, and leads us if we are only willing to be led. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
