About this book
ERIC ED622319: The Merrill Readers. First Reader
Author: ERIC
Year: 1915
The chief difficulties in teaching a child to read are focused in the Primer (ED622318) and the First Reader. If the teaching in the first year is wisely done, the later work in reading should go forward smoothly and steadily. Every step in this fundamental work must be carefully planned and developed. The First Reader, therefore, should be a natural sequel to the Primer, with a broadening vocabulary that extends the child's power over words. The two books carry the child to a point where they can stand alone. This first reader textbook builds on vocabulary acquired in the primer. Early pages of this reader are very simple, and the new words on these pages are taught first in rhymes. The vocabulary of the book consists of words familiar to children and common to many primers. Words containing the phonic elements have been used extensively so that the child may learn to help himself in the recognition of new words. The text throughout the book appeals to the almost universal liking for rhythm and for repetition in story and rhyme. Such repetition is the most interesting way of securing the word review that is necessary with beginners.
