Excerpt from Sixth Reader

The Shorter selections, on the other hand, Should be read aloud with due attention to voice training and the graces Of pleasant speech. Chil dren at this age are prone to careless and inaccurate enunciation. Clear, distinct, unfailing utterance Of the initial and final consonants of words should be insisted on. In every lesson in oral reading, at least one sentence should be read for precision in articulation. It would be well to keep on the blackboard a list of common expressions that are slurred over in conversation. Frequent practice with these sen tenoes will help to carry over into conversation the results Of the work in clear articulation in the reading lessons.

The suggestions for study at the back of the book are designed to give such information as a thoughtful young reader would wish to have about the author or the subject. The questions call attention to the main ideas, and should be answered readily by the children after a care ful reading of the text. In every lesson in reading the children should get the main idea and Should express it in distinct and pleasant speech. In this grade also their taste Should be developed by attention to the. Beauties of expression and sentiment in the selections that are read. In the suggestions frequent references are made to felicitous phrases and graces of style. Not only these phrases but many others should have attention, as there is no other method so effective in enlarging the vocab ulary, enriching the mental imagery, and developing the taste of children.

Product Description

Excerpt from Sixth Reader It is the purpose of this Sixth Reader to provide, for both oral and silent reading, an abundance of matter that is of fine literary quality and at the same time is fresh and well adapted to the pupils' powers of understanding and appreciation. Children at eleven and twelve years of age are voracious readers. It is the testimony of librarians that their appetite for books at this period is as great as at any age of life. It is highly important that parents, teachers, and librarians should recognize this fact and take care to guide the interest of children in wholesome channels. It is the business of the schools to teach them to read not only intelligently but discriminatingly, and to develop a taste for those things that are worth while. In the supplementary reading connected with geography and history, children will acquire a taste for informational reading; this should be balanced by the frequent use of literary selections that appeal to the sentiments and the imagination and lead step by step into an appreciation of the masters of prose and poetry. In this Sixth Reader there are selections of considerable length, interspersed with numerous short selections which form complete wholes that young minds can grasp without fatigue. The longer selections have been chosen with special care, as it is fatal at this age to expect prolonged attention even to masterpieces, unless they have those qualities of action, humor, and adventure that naturally excite and hold the interest of children. Whenever it has seemed advisable to abridge the longer selections, the spirit and the language of the author have been carefully preserved.
