About this book
ERIC ED621132: School Reading by Grades: Fifth Year
Author: ERIC
Year: 1897
This textbook is a fifth-year reader. The lessons in this volume have been prepared and arranged with a view towards several ends: to interest the young reader; to cultivate a taste for the best style of literature as regards both thought and expression; to point the way to an acquaintance with good books; to appeal to the pupil's sense of duty, and strengthen his desire to do right; to arouse patriotic feelings and a just pride in the achievements of our countrymen; and incidentally to add somewhat to the learner's knowledge of history and science and art. Pupils who have read the earlier editions of the series are now ready to spend time observing and discussing the literary contents, the author's manner of narrating a story, of describing an action or an appearance, of portraying emotion, of producing an impression upon the mind of the reader or the hearer. Writings adapted from authors such as Samuel Woodworth, Henry W. Longfellow, Charles Dickens, Nathaniel Hawthorne, Alfred Tennyson, Sir Walter Scott, John G. Whittier, Daniel Webster, and Sir Thomas Malory are presented.
