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.
