Excerpt from Preparing to Read, or the Beginning of School Life
If we would make a success of anything, we must have a good foundation upon which to build, even though the task of making this basis is slow and laborious. No satisfactory superstructure can rest upon a defective base.
Many who are just beginning to teach a primary school fail to understand the nature or the amount of preparatory work which is necessary before a child is able to read from a book with ease and with a natural expression. It is my purpose to offer such suggestions and to present such details as will assist the inexperienced.
The exercises given are but suggestive of many others of a similar nature. Slowly but steadily must the pupil be led on from the known and familiar to that which is unknown and strange.
The blackboard is essential in preparatory work, since it affords the teacher a means for presenting written forms until they are well known. It is a help in gaining the attention of the child, who is interested in seeing form given to his oral expression.
