Book excerpt: Excerpt from Cambridge Readings in Literature These reading books have been prepared in the first instance for use among pupils of eleven or twelve and above, and are thus suitable for the middle forms of secondary schools, the four years of central and higher grade schools, the upper Standards of elementary schools and the literature courses of continuation schools. Admirable use is now made of what are called Continuous Readers; but these should not wholly supplant a miscellany, a collection of extracts good in themselves and representative of great or interesting writers. Reading in schools may take three forms - audible reading by individual pupils, silent reading by all members of a class and reading by the teacher to the class. These forms represent three grades of difficulty in matter. Pupils can appreciate poetry and prose well read to them which they could not themselves read aloud with intelligence. Some parts, therefore, of the available material should reach the third grade of difficulty. It must certainly not all be kept down to the level of a stumbler's precarious fluency. Litera ture Should be measured out to readers by their capacity to receive rather than by their ability to deliver.
