Synopsis

Excerpt from The National Second Reader: Containing Lessons in Punctuation; And Progressive and Pleasing Exercises in Reading, Accompanied With Simple and Comprehensive Definitions and the Pronunciation of All Doubtful Words This volume though designed to follow "The Word-Builder," is complete in itself, and may be used as a Second Reader in any series. In its preparation, we have aimed to adapt the exercises and lessons to the special wants of the pupil; and, while avoiding a feeble and puerile style, to reconcile simplicity with pure literary taste. Beginning with lessons more easy than some at the close of the preceding work, its gradation is so complete, that the learner, almost insensibly overcoming obstacles, at its close will be thoroughly prepared for the succeeding volume. In Part First, a few simple and comprehensive reading lessons are prepared, to amuse and interest the pupil, to teach him the names of the points used in this work, and, as far as may be, give him a practical knowledge of punctuation as applied to reading. Articulation and Orthoepy are recognized as of primary importance. Complete exercises on the elementary sounds and their combinations are so introduced as to teach but one element at a time, and to apply this knowledge to use as soon as it Is acquired.

As most of the lessons are original, or have been rewritten for this little work, a list of the names of authors is deemed unnecessary. To one gentleman in particular, however, the authors of this volume confess themselves much indebted, for the liberty so freely given to avail themselves of his labors. We refer to T. S. Arthur, Esq., whose beautiful tales and stories are read with so much avidity by the rising generation.
