Synopsis
Excerpt from The First Reader
This book is adapted to the Word Method and the Phonic Method of teaching reading, although it can be used equally well for the Alphabetic Method.
The words at the end of each reading lesson are de signed for a phonic review, and not for a spelling lesson.
The first lessons in the book are not confined to very short words, for the reason that a child can as readily recognize a word of five or six letters as he can a shorter one.
Some of the lessons are in script, to give the child an opportunity to learn to write, and to enable him to read script as readily as ordinary printed matter.

Seller rating 4 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book discusses spelling and reading education methods from a pedagogical perspective. The author begins by strongly advocating for the word method over the alphabetic method and argues that teaching spelling and reading should be separate. They emphasize the importance of developing ideas before teaching words and provide many illustrations to aid teachers. The author believes that teaching letters slows children down and that they can learn words more easily because they represent something tangible. They also believe that spelling can be learned through reading and that reading cannot be learned through spelling. However, they note that spelling does aid reading comprehension to some extent. Overall, the book provides insights into the phonics method of teaching reading and spelling, while challenging commonly held beliefs about how to educate children in these areas. They argue strongly for their approach, suggesting that children will learn more effectively if educators follow their guidance. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. Seller Inventory # 9781332004768_0
