Synopsis
Excerpt from Second Reading Book
This is primarily a Reading Book, and the lessons have been selected and adapted with the object of assisting the children in the second classes of our Canadian schools to become intelligent and expressive readers; but, while this purpose has never been lost sight of, the Editors have endeavored to select lessons that shall also serve the pur pose of inculcating love to God and admiration for the works of nature of nurturing filial affection and other kindred virtues, and of creating an interest in the animal world.
It is hoped, therefore, that as the book is read, the pupils may become not only good readers and fond of reading, but that good principles and pure tastes may be instilled into their minds.
It is intended that the words at the head of the lessons, in the syllabi cation and accentuation of which Worcester's Dictionary has been the authority, should be pronounced in the most distinct manner possible, first by the teacher, and then by the members of the class, in concert and individually, before any attempt is made to read the lesson. This is necessary, in order that the pupil, when attempting to read, may give his full attention to bringing out the true expression. Too little consideration is usually given to this, the most important part of the work of teaching reading. In many of our schools reading classes are frequently classes in pronunciation only. No effort should be spared to correct this serious fault. The pupils ought to be thoroughly familiar with all the words of the lesson before attempting to read it.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book chronicles the evolution of Canadian reading textbooks during the late 19th century, moving away from British and American publications to focus on content closer to home with the aim of teaching reading using the world around them. The author traces the development of reading curricula from the early days of the public school systems to the end of the century. This book brings to life the educational history of Canada through the lens of children's reading materials. The book also highlights the importance of education, particularly language and reading skills, for effective citizenship. By the end of the 19th century, the author shows how educators had come to recognise the need for Canadian children to learn to read using materials they could relate to, thus introducing a distinctly Canadian perspective into teaching methods. 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 # 9781333166861_0
