Excerpt from The Carroll and Brooks Readers: A First Reader
The order of topics in the first reader follows in a measure the order governing the kindergarten year, which is the universal order in its appeal to the natural interests of children. The early lessons are based upon the child's love of activity and are intended to accompany the sense games of the kindergarten, modified to meet the needs of the primary school. Appropriate to the child's progress there are introduced lessons based upon familiar games and nursery rhymes, which appeal to his dramatic instinct.
These lessons afford the richest material for language drill. The words are very simple, and their sound and meaning are already familiar to the child. Moreover, the subjects Offer ample Opportunity for the repetition of the vocabulary without monot ony. It has been an ideal throughout that the lessons should be as varied as possible, the vocabulary carefully limited, and the repetition of new words immediate and frequent.
