Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from How to Teach Beginning Reading
Games played with candlestick and at blackboard - A candlestick which had been provided for the occasion was brought out and the children played a game of jumping over it, meanwhile becoming more familiar with the rhyme. Miss Hardy then said she knew another way of playing the game in which all could play it at once. The children wondered how it could be done, and the teacher showed them how to represent a candlestick on the blackboard with the chalk and how to show Jack jumping back and forth by curved lines. The children exhibited considerable individuality in their drawings of the candlestick, some adding a little curved handle, others adding the ?ame with smoke trailing off. They practiced the rhythmic sweeps, back and forth, while reciting the rhyme in unison.
