It is based upon the kindergarten idea as taught by Froebel. According to his teachings, lessons in form and color should precede lessons in general science. The rainbow colors in flowers and fruits, and the sphere, cube and cylinder among type forms, furnish the most simple basis of classification for Observation work. These simple and clear ideas are especially suitable for the subject matter of the first reading lessons. Studies of plant and animal life follow naturally and these are closely related to the literature which is presented in story, song and fable. Again, the lessons put into practice the kindergarten doctrine that the hand helps the brain in acquiring knowledge. A variety Of occupations are pro vided, many of which will aid the child in learning to read and write. This Primer outlines for the teacher's use all the work for the first term or half year including reading, writing, language, number, science, literature and occupations. Full instructions for the teacher's guidance are given in the Suggestions and in the notes. Accompanying each lesson.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Easy Road to Reading: Primer The subject matter in a beginning text book in reading should touch the child personally and be in keeping with his natural activities if it is to be of value in teaching him to read. It should appear for him in the form of action, rhythm, stories, plays, and games if the symbols of reading are to convey meaning. This Primer has been compiled with the foregoing in mind, the purpose being to offer an easy and natural course in reading for beginners. The vocabulary and subject matter have accordingly been chosen with special reference to the natural activities of children. Children are actors by nature and they therefore perform with pleasure the actions which words suggest. That which a child does involving self-activity makes a deep impression; thus the true meaning of words can be easily impressed upon him. It is, therefore, important that there shall be included in the early lessons a good list of action words which shall form the basis of interesting and thought-inspiring reading lessons and which can be easily demonstrated in class-room practice. The first nine lessons of The Easy Road to Reading Primer consist of simple reading matter compiled from a desirable list of action words. All these early lessons can be dramatized and the meaning of the words can thus be easily taught by having the children perform the actions suggested by them. Lessons 16-32 consist of interesting reading in which the new words are introduced in simple rhymes made up in part from the action words previously learned. These rhymes serve to fix the meaning of the words and sentences in the lessons and make the reading matter more interesting. Lessons 32-38 consist of short rhymes from that classic of childhood literature, Mother Goose. The lessons preserve the integrity of the rhymes, yet introduce a sufficient number of other sentences to emphasize the new words and fix by repetition those already presented. Lessons 38-68 are on nature. This section will be read in the fall of the year when the outside world is full of beauty and attractiveness.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Language Readers Primer The child comes to school at the age of six or seven with a speaking vocabulary of several hundred words, say from five hundred to seven hundred words. This number will vary according to his environment and home influences. In teaching reading to these first year pupils, the aim should be to teach the child to recognize the symbols for the ideas which he already possesses. In other words, the aim is not to enlarge the child's speaking vocabulary but rather to convert it into a reading vocabulary. The child must learn to associate form and sound; the printed symbol must suggest an idea. Furthermore the child must learn to translate these symbols into oral language expressively rendered. If the class be one composed largely of children who speak little or no English, the problem is more complex. The teacher must build up an English vocabulary for the most commonplace actions and ideas, and, at the same time, must associate the spoken words which the pupils are learning day by day with the printed or written symbols. That is, the teacher must teach English speech as well as reading. In this Primer no particular method has been fol lowed absolutely. The aim has been to use the best features of the word, the look and say, the sen tence, the phonic, and the Gouin methods. Nouns, verbs, and adjectives in common use form the basis of the child's reading vocabulary. These should be taught as sight words. As an introduction to the work in reading, such commands as stand, face, etc., which are at first given orally by the teacher, may be written on the board and the children directed to obey them. The first sentences in this Primer direct the performance of certain actions, one purpose being to secure silent reading before oral reading is attempted.

Every word in the Primer and First Reader, when spoken, is known by all English-speaking children before they begin to use books.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Wheeler's Graded Readers: A Primer In his own way, - just a little every day, - this faithful little gleaner learns more, perhaps, during the first four years of his life than a student does in a four years' college course. In six short years he learns to speak a language, and to understand it when it is spoken by others. Within the narrow range of his limited vocabulary he can express his wants and wishes and understand the speech of others. Thus equipped, he is sent to school to take his first lessons in learning to read, learning to get thought from the crooked and curious marks upon the printed page.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Natural Method Readers: A Primer This book consists almost entirely of nursery rhymes and of sentences in which the words of these rhymes occur. In the case of longer rhymes or those calling for ex tended treatment the rhyme is first printed as a whole so that the teacher may read it to the class. Then portions of the rhyme are given in prose form in such a way that the child may become familiar with the words. Finally, the completed rhyme is presented to be read by the pupils. The rhyme thus becomes a part of the child's mental equipment, and is made to serve as a key to the recognition of words. It takes but little practice to enable the pupil to pick out the words of the rhyme. The skillful teacher does not take up the book in the first stages of instruction. The work is begun on the blackboard, and oral work necessarily forms a great part of the instruction. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

By this word-analysis he becomes master of mechanical aids which enable him to increase his vocabulary independently. For example, his knowledge of the sound of h in hen, and at in cat enables him to work out the phonetic parts of such a word as hat and blend them into a word hitherto unknown to him in its printed form.

It assumes that they can read the usual vocabulary of a good primer, either of this series or of any other. It is, however, closely related to the American School Primer. The children and their pets, whose acquaintance was made in that book, appear again here, with new experiences, in the earlier pages. But the keynote of the book is children's lore. The characters of the primer appear less and less frequently and finally drop out altogether. The latter part of the book contains children's literature only. The authors believe that this literature is of so excel lent a quality that it will intensify the interest of chil dren in the reading book, and hence in learning to read, and will also implant the seeds of good literary taste. Carefully organized lists of words for phonic drill are given on pages 135 - 137. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Reading-Literature: The Primer, Adapted and Graded For years the most progressive educators have been urging that only good literature should be used in school readers. Some authors of primers have thought it impossible to provide such material with in the vocabulary that beginners can learn with ease. Others have used a little real literature with a large amount of unrelated and uninteresting material specially prepared for the sake of word repe tition and phonic drill. Experience proves that all children are interested in and enjoy the simple folk tales, which are the literary products of many minds and have survived the centuries, because they represent certain uni versal human experiences and satisfy certain common needs of childhood. Through countless repetitions, from one generation to another, they have assumed a form marked by simplicity and a unique literary charm. After years of careful work we present some of these tales so as to utilize the child's love for the stories and make an easy road to reading. Avoiding the long struggle through forced interest, and the devious byways of artificial methods, we start the child at once into the realm of good, appropriate literature.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Elson-Runkel Primer This book is based upon the belief that interesting material is the most important factor in learning to read; that the key note of interest is the story-element, the plot; and that the child's delight in the oral story should be utilized in the Very first steps of reading. This basis is the distinguishing feature of the Primer. In consequence, real stories, rich in dramatic action, have been chosen - stories which make use of the child's curiosity in what is going to happen next-stories which have a plot, a series of incidents, and an outcome; hence the child gets some where with his reading. The story element has been unfolded in such a way as to make each page a distinct unit. The primer lessons presuppose that the teacher has first told the children the fuller stories, as given in the Teachers' Manual which accompanies this book. While these oral stories will add greatly to the children's content and interest, nevertheless, the stories in the primer are complete units in themselves.
