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.
