Excerpt from The Rational Method in Reading: An Original Presentation of Sight and Sound Work That Leads Rapidly to Independent and Intelligent Reading, Second Reader (Third Half-Year's Work)The specific purpose of this book I have sufficiently explained in the Preface to the Manual of Instruction for Teachers and in the introductory remarks in the Primer and First Reader.I desire, however, to call attention to the fact that many of the selec tions found herein are possessed of real literary merit, and that the use of this book, therefore, cannot fail to be conducive to the formation of a correct taste. That children can be prepared for such reading within a year or a year and a half of their introduction to school life, certainly affords strong evidence as to the value of the Rational Method.In this connection I wish to acknowledge my great obligation to several authors and publishers, whose kindness has supplied me with a wealth of valuable material.The names of the authors are appended to their respective selections, so that the little ones may know in each case just what loving friend prepared the feast.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
