Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book explores the development of reading methods for children during the 19th century. At the time, reading instruction was largely seen as a mechanical skill. Authors like the one featured here believed reading should instead engage the mind as well as the eyes and vocal cords. The author offers various insights about the nature of learning and how to engage a child's natural inquisitiveness. Ultimately, the author argues that while mechanical reading skill is a good building block for learning, genuine literacy is only possible when children are encouraged to connect the words on the page to their own lives and the world around them.
