Excerpt from German Stories Retold (Grimms M�rchen): Edited for School Use

In the arrangement of this work, the beginner is looked upon as a child in the language. His reading should be graded for him as it is for children who are learning to read their mother tongue. The best way to do this is to rewrite stories. Fireside tales such as Grimms' furnish such a foundation and readily admit of suitable additions.

In the first few stories the sentences are simple and short; common words and expressions are used until the learner grows accustomed to the natural ﬂow of the language. New words, new expressions and longer sentences have been introduced as gradu ally as possible. In this way the beginner Can easily do a large amount of reading.

As an aid to fix the language more firmly in the memory and to cultivate conversation and narration, questions are given on each story. The answer to each question should be a complete sentence. The aim is to help the learner to make a practical use of what he is learning. In this way come acquisi tion and ability.
