Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Sixth Reader It is the purpose of this Sixth Reader to provide, for both oral and silent reading, an abundance of matter that is of fine literary quality and at the same time is fresh and well adapted to the pupils´ powers of understanding and appreciation. Children at eleven and twelve years of age are voracious readers. It is the testimony of librarians that their appetite for books at this period is as great as at any age of life. It is highly important that parents, teachers, and librarians should recognize this fact and take care to guide the interest of children in wholesome channels. It is the business of the schools to teach them to read not only intelligently but discriminatingly, and to develop a taste for those things that are worth while. In the supplementary reading connected with geography and history, children will acquire a taste for informational reading; this should be balanced by the frequent use of literary selections that appeal to the sentiments and the imagination and lead step by step into an appreciation of the masters of prose and poetry. In this Sixth Reader there are selections of considerable length, interspersed with numerous short selections which form complete wholes that young minds can grasp without fatigue. The longer selections have been chosen with special care, as it is fatal at this age to expect prolonged attention even to masterpieces, unless they have those qualities of action, humor, and adventure that naturally excite and hold the interest of children. Whenever it has seemed advisable to abridge the longer selections, the spirit and the language of the author have been carefully preserved. The story of Ulysses, of Roland, of Wolfert the gold hunter, of Faggus and his horse, of Richard and Saladin, of the boyhood of Franklin, exquisitely told by Lamb, Irving, Scott, and other true artists, will read themselves into the hearts of the children. Much of the oral reading period may well be spent in talking about these stories. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
