Excerpt from How to Read A few months ago I happened to be present at a dinner where a chance question led to an interesting talk. Some phase of primary education was under discussion, and in the course of it the host, turning to one of the guests, asked, "When did you learn to read?" "At three, " was the prompt reply, given with a touch of pride. "And you?" said the host to the next guest. "Oh, I don't know. About five, I suppose." "And you?" to a lady beyond. There was a moments embarrassed hesitation. And then, with something about scarlet fever, came the confession that she had not learned her letters till she was nine. And thus it went, halfway round the table. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
