Book Description
Excerpt from English Spoken and Written: Book I; Lessons in Language, for Primary Grades The books of this course in English are closely related in purpose, matter, and method. They aim to arouse in our boys and girls an abiding interest in the correct and effective use of the English of to-day as well as to give them a clear insight into the structure of the English language. This book has been carefully planned to meet the needs of primary grades in public and private schools. The authors have employed practically the same methods, and, in part, have used the same material as in the first book of "Modern English," which has met with such pronounced favor. Instead of relying upon technical grammar to mold the daily speech of children, emphasis is laid upon practice in speaking, reading, interpreting, and writing under the guidance of the teacher. The authors believe in the supreme importance of interest in successful language study. They have, therefore, spared no pains in determining upon the topics to be presented and in subjecting their choice to repeated tests in the schoolroom. The lessons are based upon home life, school associations, and familiar sights and sounds in nature. Pictures, stories, poems, exercises, suggested readings, have all been chosen in accordance with this plan, to the end that children may view language less as an unrelated branch of study than as a unifying medium for all school studies and out-of-school experiences. In developing the plan. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
