Excerpt from Supplementary Reading for Primary Schools

IN this Second Series of supplementary reading lessons, especial care has been taken to provide enter taining and instructive stories.

Subjects have been chosen with which the child is familiar, or in which he will have a hearty interest.

Teach ers should pursue the several lines of thought indicated, and draw from the class original expressions of Opinion.

These Opinions should always be required in the form of complete sentences, and pupils should be led to notice and correct errors whenever occurring in the sentences given.

Forming and criticising sentences in this way will make an interesting lesson in oral language, and will also serve as a basis for work in written language during the second year in school.
