Classics Old and New: A Series of School Readers

This book is designed to be the first placed in the child's hands when entering school. It is carefully arranged so that it can be used with equal success by all teachers, whether they adopt the sentence method, the word method, or the phonic method. In this way it is equally well adapted to graded schools where the entire time of the teacher is devoted to the class studying it, or to ungraded schools where one teacher must do all the work of six or more grades. -- Preface to "A First Reader."
