Book excerpt: Excerpt from Second Reading Book This is primarily a Reading Book, and the lessons have been selected and adapted with the object of assisting the children in the second classes of our \canadian schools to become intelligent and expressive readers; but, while this purpose has never been lost sight of, the Editors have endeavored to select lessons that shall also serve the pur pose of inculcating love to God and admiration for the works of nature of nurturing filial affection and other kindred virtues, and of creating an interest in the animal world. It is hoped, therefore, that as the book is read, the pupils may become not only good readers and fond of reading, but that good principles and pure tastes may be instilled into their minds. It is intended that the words at the head of the lessons, in the syllabi cation and accentuation of which Worcester's Dictionary has been the authority, should be pronounced in the most distinct manner possible, first by the teacher, and then by the members of the class, in concert and individually, before any attempt is made to read the lesson. This is necessary, in order that the pupil, when attempting to read, may give his full attention to bringing out the true expression. Too little consideration is usually given to this, the most important part of the work of teaching reading. In many of our schools reading classes are frequently classes in pronunciation only. No effort should be spared to correct this serious fault. The pupils ought to be thoroughly familiar with all the words of the lesson before attempting to read it.
