Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The American School Readers: Second Reader The Second Reader is Book Three of the American School Readers Series. It carries out the principles laid down in the First Reader. It is purely literary. That is, every selection is representative of standard children's literature. The Primer and the first part of the First Reader are devoted to teaching children to read their already familiar vocabulary. At the same time by slow degrees they are made acquainted with the form and appearance of simple folklore and its word. When this point has been reached, no "made up" lessons are used. The authors believe that the whole time given to reading books in school should be spent upon worthy literature, in cultivating taste for good reading. They follow this creed consistently throughout the series. This book especially makes much use of the "repetitional" story, in which words and phrased occur repeatedly. The more difficult words are given before the lessons in which they occur. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
