Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The First Steps in Reading: For the Beginner, the Rural School Teacher, the Primary Teacher, the Intermediate Teacher Who Does Not Know What Work Preceded Hers, the Mother Who Wishes to Teach Her Child to Read, Anyone Unfamiliar With the First Steps in Reading
Learning to read is a complex problem. But this problem must be solved by every one who would have the avenue of approach to the larger world. Reading is the key that unlocks the storehouse of knowledge. To teach children to read is a fine art - an art too little understood by many - yes, by most teachers.
It is the purpose of this monograph to aid the mother in the home and the teacher in the school to solve that difficult problem, teaching children to read. This message goes forth from the pen of one who has been a successful teacher in the school room and in the home. Out of the abundance of her experience and devotion to her cause, with sincerity of purpose she gives this message to the beginning teacher. The author, through definite and concrete suggestion, shows the teacher how she may make her pupils thoughtful, expressive, fluent, and independent readers. Not all the work is done for the teacher. But sufficient direction is given to encourage and to stimulate the teacher who is struggling with the problem of teaching beginners to read.
