Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Bits of History Of the utility of stories in the class-room of the deaf there can be no question. Indeed, most teachers recognize them as an indispensable factor to the success of their pupils in acquiring language. As a means for giving language to the pupil, for exciting his interest, cultivating his memory, awakening his dormant reasoning powers, and relieving the hum-drum and drudgery of the classroom, and for the general brightening of the school hours, there is nothing more practical. But stories pertaining to United States History, as do the series herein contained, serve a twofold purpose. While they meet all the requirements of ordinary school stories as a means for familiarizing the pupil with the various forms of the English language, they, at the same time, teach him lessons of fortitude and self-sacrifice, and acquaint him with the heroic trials, sufferings, and achievements of our forefathers in making this country what it now is, all of which tend to stimulate in him the desire to learn more of those facts in broader fields. The design of this little book is to pave the way to the formal study of the History of the United States. Every teacher of experience knows how hard deaf children find the transition from the easy language lessons specially prepared for their pupils for the first four or five years of their school course to the enlarged vocabulary and involved sentences of the simplest common-school histories. A few months drill on these historical stories will make that transition comparatively easy. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
