It is the thought--the impression--rather than the form--the -expression--which gives value to what is read. With this fact in mind -the subject-matter has been chosen with special reference to primal -social activities in history and contemporaneous society significant -of the race development, as the securing of food, shelter, and -clothing. But this subject-matter must touch the child personally if -it is to be of value in learning to read. It must appear for him in -the form of action, rhythm, stories, observation, plays and games, if -the symbols of reading are to be fraught with meaning for him. What -is of interest to the child, and what is of value to society, have -both been kept in mind in selecting and arranging the literature of -childhood used in this series of readers. - -This Manual of Instruction provides for three half years of work. -Foreign children, or those of slower development, will require a -longer time. In that event, the lessons in the Manual will suggest -the _order_, not the time. - -In learning to read, two lines of work are to be developed at -separate periods each day. Reading lessons and Phonic lessons in -orderly sequence are given in the Manual of Instruction. - -Helpful suggestions for this series of readers have come from many -sources. The author wishes to acknowledge especial indebtedness to -Edgar Dubs Shimer, Ph.D., District Superintendent, New York City, for -valuable criticism; to Grant Karr, Ph.D., Teacher of the Principles -of Education and Director of Observation in the Training School for -Teachers, New York City, for suggestions concerning the statement -of the unity of language; to Miss Alice H. Damon, A.B., Supervising -Principal of the Primary Department, State Normal School, Potsdam, -N. Y., for assistance in preparing the Manual of Instruction; -and to Miss Caroline A.

Summary. - - - 1. - - THE FUNDAMENTAL PRINCIPLES - IN LEARNING TO READ. - - -=Language Defined.= Language is the conventional means by which man -communicates his thoughts. It is a complex unity composed of thought -and symbol, spoken or written. Because it is the means by which -different minds are identified in thought, it becomes an essential -factor in social organization. - -=Symbolism.= In a wider sense all means of social communication, -material and pictorial expressions, as well as spoken and written -words, may be called language. Thought, through symbol, to thought, -is the whole social process of language, spoken and written, for -every meaning has a symbol and every symbol has a meaning. - -=The Problem in Learning to Read.= The problem in teaching reading -is to bring the symbol and its meaning into vital unity in the mind -of the learner. Hence it is necessary that the teacher distinguish -clearly between these elements. When the thought and the symbol have -become so united that each is essential to the other, the problem of -learning to read has been solved. - -=Fundamental Principles.= There are three chief fundamental -principles involved in the process of learning to read, namely: - - _First. Images._ The thought aspect of language depends upon clear - and vivid images. This is so important that unless children have - such images they cannot master the symbols which represent them. One - purpose of nature study, handicraft, and art is to give children - these images. - - _Second. Wholes to Parts._ In acquiring knowledge the mind moves from - the vague whole to the parts and then back again to the clarified - whole. An understanding of the parts gives a fuller meaning to the - whole. The mind analyzes in order to reach a better synthesis. When - we wish to make known to a child a coat, for instance, we do not show - him separately the sleeves, the lapels, the pockets, the buttons. We - hold up the whole garment and say, "Here is a coat." It is necessary - to do the same in teaching reading. Give the child first an image of - the whole situation which he is to think himself into, and then come - to the details to make the whole clear. - - _Third. Self-Activity._ The child is an active, creative agent, - vitally concerned in adjusting himself to his physical and spiritual - environment. Self-activity manifests itself in some external form, - which in language is the symbol of the self-active thought. Success - in teaching reading depends upon the amount of self-active response - the symbol awakens in the thought of the child. - -These three fundamental principles, namely, clear and vivid images, -whole situations, and self-activity in the form of response and -interest on the part of the child, should be kept in the foreground -in teaching reading. - - - 2. - - ELEMENTS IN LEARNING TO READ. - - -Since language is composed of thought, symbol, and sound, the main -elements to be considered in learning to read are the thought, the -symbol, and the phonic elements. - - - THE THOUGHT ELEMENT. - -=The Purpose of the Thought Element.= The problem of elementary -reading is to establish a permanent association between the written -or the printed symbols and the thoughts which they represent. The -thought is all-important; it is the vitalizing element in learning to -read. In learning to talk the child associates the meaning with the -spoken symbol; in learning to read he associates a thought content -with a sight symbol. The strength of the association depends in each -case upon the worth the thought has for the child; hence the great -necessity of giving especial attention to the thought element in -learning to read. - -=Action Sentences.= A sentence is the unit of language and the -life-giving factor in the process of learning to read. It is -important, therefore, that in the beginning the child should form -the habit of grasping sentences. In the first reading lessons it is -necessary to find subjects which interest the child and furnish clear -mental pictures. Children are interested in actions. They like to -move and will read for the purpose of performing an action. Action -sentences appeal to all children, because that which a child does -makes a deep impression and involves large self-activity. - -=Nursery Rhymes.= Children are so influenced by rhythm that it is -impossible to train them aright without giving due consideration -to this form of expression. There are many interesting complete -rhymes and poems that are valuable for reading lessons. In content -the poetry of childhood should contain familiar images, tinged with -enough of mystery to give that subtle mingling of sense and nonsense -which stirs the imagination of the child and also relates him to the -actual world in which he lives. The Mother Goose melodies fulfil -these conditions, but it is the rhythm far more than the thought that -attracts the child. Have the children learn the rhymes by ear and -recite them with no thought other than that they are to be enjoyed. -Incidentally, they will afford valuable exercise in pronunciation, -articulation, and tone modulation, if the teacher is careful -about these matters, for children are great imitators. Later the -children will read these rhymes and poems with great pleasure, thus -associating a valuable thought content with its printed symbol in a -way that will make the association abiding. - -=Stories.= Children express in action, and ultimately in character, -the influences which they receive from stories. Therefore, stories -containing true and good ideals should be selected. Children -appreciate and love what appeals to the best and the highest in -them. Nursery rhymes, fables, fairy lore, and classic myth should -be used. They have nourished the race, and will also feed the soul -life of the individual child. The outer form varies with the age and -the country, but the inner meaning is of the spirit and will outlast -the centuries. Every teacher should, therefore, carefully cultivate -the art of story-telling. It is far better to present a story orally -than to read it from a book. If it is told, the teacher can adapt it -to the needs of her classes, and by the magnetism of voice, eye, and -personality awaken an abiding love for good literature. At a later -period the child will enjoy reading these same stories in the reading -books of the first and second grades. - -=Observation Lessons.= Observation and description should precede -reading in the early lessons. The teacher may write on the blackboard -simple sentences based upon these observations and descriptions. -Anything in the environment of the home or the school which interests -the child should be utilized. Encourage the children to observe their -household pets and to tell the other children about them. Whatever -the child makes in the time devoted to handicraft, or observes in -the nature lessons, or plays in the recreation period may be used as -material for reading lessons. Color is so intimately connected with -the emotional life that its value and importance should be recognized. - - - THE SYMBOL ELEMENT. - -=Use.= All thought which rises to the plane of self-consciousness -is communicated by means of a material, a pictorial, or a lingual -symbol. The thought element and the symbol element are two sides of -the same thing, namely, language. They form the _impression_ and -_expression_ of language, and hence of social communication and -identity. - -=Kinds of Symbols.= There are two kinds of symbols which must be -mastered in learning to read, namely, the vocal and the graphic, -appealing respectively to the ear and to the eye. These symbols are -made by the voice and the hand, and are recognized by the ear and the -eye. They must always be regarded in the light of that which they -represent in connection with elementary reading, whether used in -receiving or expressing thought. This thought must be kept clearly -in mind in silent and oral reading, in word repetition, and in word -drill. It will aid also in the spelling and the phonic work of the -children. - - THE PHONIC ELEMENT. - -=Definition.= The phonic element deals with articulate sounds and the -letters or the symbols which represent them. Here, as elsewhere in -learning to read, the unity between meaning and symbol--impression -and expression--must be kept clearly in mind. The spoken symbol -implies training in pronunciation, enunciation, articulation, -inflection, and all that makes for clear understanding and agreeable -oral expression of thought. Ear and voice, eye and hand, are tools -which must be trained to work with automatic perfection as the means -in communicating thought. - -=Purpose.= The purpose of the phonic lesson is the association of a -sound with its written or printed symbol, so that the child will be -able to get and to express the sound when the symbol is presented to -him. The sight symbol and the sound symbol should be so thoroughly -associated that immediately upon the presentation of either one of -them the other will appear in consciousness. - -=Ear and Voice Training.= It is of the utmost importance that -children be given a broad experience with sound in the way of ear -and voice training exercises for a few weeks before the formal study -of phonics is begun. These exercises may be carried on in connection -with the thought development in learning to read and in the music -work. In the nature work the children should be trained to listen to -bird note, insect hum, and other sounds of nature. Story-telling is -most helpful in this ear training. It should begin in the first grade -and continue through the entire elementary school period. The reading -of poems aloud should be a regular part of the school program, not -only to stimulate the imagination, but also to give the enjoyment -that comes from the cadence of rhythmic language and to train the -ear to make fine discriminations. Ear training and voice culture are -so intimately related that it is impossible to cultivate one without -cultivating the other, for they sustain to each other the vital -relation of impression and expression. - -=Phonic Facts.= The question of the exact number of elementary -sounds in the English language is still unsettled. This Manual is -based on the belief that there are forty-five elementary sounds in -the English language, twenty vowel sounds and twenty-five consonant -sounds. The difficulty in mastering the phonic element in learning -to read English is greatly increased because some of the elementary -sounds are represented by two letters, as _th_ in _thin_, _ea_ in -_head_; and some sounds are represented by two or more symbols, -as _e_ in _her_, _u_ in _turn_, and _i_ in _firm_. It is neither -necessary nor desirable that little children should learn all the -equivalent symbols; nor is it considered wise to give to children all -of the forty-five elementary sounds. Forty is the number taught in -the phonic lessons of this Manual. Use has determined the order of -presentation. - - 1. _Vowel Sounds._ The vowels are always pure sound. They express - the emotions and are the rhythmic, musical element which gives - language its beauty. There are many equivalent spellings for the - twenty elementary vowel sounds in the English language. Those most - frequently used are found on page 113; the others will be learned - unconsciously as the child develops. See page 113 for a scientific - arrangement of the vowel sounds. - - 2. _Consonant Sounds._ The consonants limit and define sound. Of the - twenty-five elementary consonant sounds, ten have no vocal quality - whatever. They are commonly known as breath sounds--_f, h, k, p, - s, t, ch, sh, th, wh_. With the exception of _h_, every one of - these breath sounds has its corresponding vocal sound: - - f vocalized becomes v - - p " " b - - t " " d - - th (thin) " " th (then) - - wh " " w - - k " " g - - s " " z - - ch " " j - - sh " " zh - -See p. 112 for a scientific arrangement of the consonant sounds. - - 3. _Phonograms_. In all the phonic lessons used in this Manual a - _phonogram is the symbol of a sound group_, usually composed of - a single vowel sound combined with a single consonant sound. For - example, _ing_ in _s-ing_ is a phonogram, but in _see-ing_ it is a - syllable. - -=Diacritical Marks.= Useless phonograms are a burden rather than a -help; therefore the child should learn only those which he actually -uses. For this reason it is not advisable to use diacritical marks -during the earlier stages of learning to read. They make the symbol -complex and cumbersome, and at the same time their need and great -value do not become apparent until the child begins to use the -dictionary, say, in the fourth school year. In the earlier stages -of learning to read, symbols acquire meaning by being constantly -associated with their respective sounds and thoughts. Habits of -pronunciation are formed by always attaching the same sound values -to letters and groups of letters. When a child forms an image of a -word burdened with diacritical marks, he must later form an image -of the word without these. When children are taught to look for -diacritical marks their imaging power is centered upon the markings -of the words instead of the thoughts for which these words stand; -hence it takes longer to get the thought, and as a consequence they -are apt to be slow readers. Rapid readers are usually thoughtful -readers, because they have the power to grasp quickly a large number -of words and to interpret them in mental pictures. - -=Phonic Drill.= Phonic drill and reading are distinct processes and -should be taught at different periods of the day during the first -two years of school. The purpose of the elementary reading lesson is -to associate permanently the thought and the symbols which represent -it, so that the thought can be gained from the written or printed -language. The purpose of the elementary phonic lesson is to associate -permanently sounds and the characters which represent them, so that -new words can be readily recognized. Both processes are necessary -in teaching reading, but phonic lessons should be relegated to a -subsidiary place so that they may not become an impediment to the -main purpose. - -=Phonic Method.= In the phonic method sight words are analyzed -into their elements, which are then combined in new relations to -form new words. These new combinations of familiar elements in new -relations are recognized again and again, until the association -grows permanent, and so new words are acquired. Consonant sounds are -recognized as initial, final, and medial. Next the phonogram element -is analyzed into its vowel and consonant sounds. By means of familiar -symbols the child has the power to pronounce new words. A knowledge -of individual symbols is the foundation upon which the sight -recognition of words rests; hence the necessity of rapid and varied -drills. - -The method suggested in this Manual for phonic lessons is as follows: - - 1. Separate sight words into their consonant sounds and phonograms. - - 2. Separate phonograms into their consonant and vowel sounds. - - 3. Associate these sound elements with their symbols. - - 4. Combine the sound elements to form new words (Phonic Synthesis). - - 5. Teach initial and final syllables as phonograms. - - - 3. - - METHODS OF TEACHING READING. - -Methods of learning to read are the result of bringing the different -thought, symbol, and phonic elements into combination and active -co-operation. The process is organic and all these features must be -kept in mind. There are two kinds of reading, silent and oral. - -=Silent Reading.= Silent reading is the personal, individual way of -getting thought from the printed page. The teacher must lead the -pupil to see that the sentences have meaning. From the very first the -teacher should never lose sight of this fundamental principle and -should train the child into the habit of interpreting the printed -page into mental pictures. A good method of conducting the reading -lesson is the following: - -Let each child read the entire lesson silently to get the thought -(whole to parts). When the child does not recognize a word and -cannot get it from the context or the sound elements, tell him what -it is, in as simple a way as he would be told about a new object in -the home. When he has finished reading the child may show that he -is ready to give the thought. The teacher requests a pupil to give -in his own language what he has just read. It will then be seen -how vivid his images are of what he has read and how fully it has -appealed to him. At the same time, his expressing it in his own words -will exercise his self-activity. It is not wise in the beginning to -correct imperfect language to any great extent, for the reason that -the child's attention is liable to be diverted from the main thought -to some detail of the medium of expression. This is disastrous and -will tend to make him unnatural in both his thinking and feeling. It -destroys his appreciation for the whole, blurs his images, and takes -away the chief motive for reading. - -In learning to read the child begins with the image of some story, -which he particularizes and clarifies by the thoughts in the -sentences and the ideas in the words. He masters the word elements in -this way, as a unity of meaning and symbol, which gives significance -to the sentence and to the story as a whole. Thus the power of -getting thought from the printed page develops. - -=Oral Reading.= Oral reading is the process of interpreting thought -from the printed page and imparting it to another by means of -the voice. Silent reading should always precede oral reading, so -that the child may get the thought before he attempts to give it. -Silent reading is the power to translate the words into thoughts or -emotions. Oral reading goes a step further and gives these thoughts -and emotions audible expression and awakens them in another. Silent -reading is a necessity; oral reading is an accomplishment. Oral -reading is another way of telling a story. It implies the ability -to awaken one's thoughts in another's mind. It lacks the freedom of -expression usual in story-telling, for it demands power to interpret -and transmit thought almost simultaneously. - -There are many ways of conducting an oral reading lesson. Two methods -are given for illustration: - - _A_ - - 1. The development of new words. - 2. The silent reading of the complete story. - 3. Oral reproduction of the complete story. - 4. Oral reading of the complete story. - - _B_ - - 1. The development of new words. - 2. Silent reading of paragraphs. - 3. Oral reproduction of paragraphs. - 4. Oral reading of paragraphs, then of the whole. - -These methods differ only in the breadth and scope of the image of -the whole that the child is to think through at one time. - -Freedom of expression usually accompanies the reading of interesting -thought. The child will usually use natural, clear tones in reading, -as he does in talking, if he understands what he reads. Many children -read poorly because they neither understand nor feel any meaning in -the words. Both gesture and language will be spontaneous if prompted -by right thinking and right feeling. The dramatic presentation of a -story, however crude, becomes a great aid. - -=Word Repetition.= Many repetitions of words, phrases, and sentences -are necessary in mastering the symbol. It is quite possible to have -a repetition of words with an ever-changing variety in valuable -thought. This variety holds the interest of the children and at -the same time accustoms the eye to the repeated symbol. The symbol -elements in the action sentences, observation lessons, nursery -rhymes, and stories must be repeated many times, but, to preserve -interest in them and to increase their meaning, the greatest care -must be taken in the selection and the presentation of the thought -element. If the teacher of elementary reading can master this part of -her work, her success is well-nigh assured. - - - SPELLING. - -=Notion and Purpose.= Spelling is a finer analysis of the process of -learning to read and hence involves all the elements of learning to -read. The problem in learning to spell is to associate permanently -the smallest symbols of the word, the letters, oral and written, -with their appropriate meanings. In oral spelling the impression is -received through the ear; the expression is by means of the voice. -In written spelling the impression is received through the eye; the -expression is by means of the hand. Because written spelling occupies -a much larger place in life through the need of communicating ideas -by means of writing, it should receive more attention in language -teaching than oral spelling. The training of the eye and the hand -is, therefore, more important in learning to spell than the training -of the ear and the voice, although oral spelling sometimes helps by -bringing in the auditory and the vocal memory to assist the visual -and the manual. In the beginning children should learn to spell by -_writing_, not as a drill in penmanship, but for the purpose of -calling attention to the form of the word. - -=Elements.= Spelling is a complex and difficult art and requires (a) -training in elementary sounds and their symbols, or phonic drill; -(b) training of eye and hand in forming the letters of a word, or -written spelling; (c) training of ear and voice in naming the letters -of a word, or oral spelling. Sound, form, and name of letters must be -inseparably associated, so that they will become necessary elements -in the vital combination of symbol and meaning in the word. - -=Method.= In the method pursued the teacher writes _Sing._, for -instance, upon the blackboard, with capital letter and period to -indicate that it is the expression of a complete thought. The teacher -then erases the word and requests the children to write it. Review -this word at the next lesson and add a new one. Next the teacher -writes _I can sing. Can you sing?_, and similar sentences, upon the -blackboard, and proceeds in the same manner. As the work progresses -the children should image a new sentence at each lesson, and in -addition should be able to write from dictation several review -sentences. In the early lessons the children should write at the -blackboard, or use unruled paper and soft lead pencils with dull -points. A clear image of the symbol will aid the child in writing it. -This makes it essential that the teacher write a legible hand. - -=Word Drill.= Drill upon the words learned is necessary to mechanize -ear, voice, eye, and hand in the reading process so that the child -may be left free to attend to the subject-matter. Have the children -pronounce, write, and spell the unfamiliar words found in the reading -lesson. Insist upon exact pronunciation and a natural, pleasing -modulation of the voice. Later the children should use these same -words in spoken and written sentences. After children have learned -the names of the letters, both oral and written spelling should be -used, since they are correlative processes. Oral spelling often -deepens the impression and makes the image more permanent. - - - THE ALPHABET. - -The alphabet should be taught in serial order, because of its use in -reading card catalogs, dictionaries, etc. The alphabet characters -have been learned in the phonic drill by associating the sounds -with the letters as the children require them to master words, but -not consecutively. The A B C's, however, in their old-fashioned -significance, should be a part of the child's knowledge when he -enters the second grade. - - - SUMMARY. - -In the process of learning to read, certain elements are brought -together and associated in vital organic unity in accordance with -broad general principles. These the teacher must keep constantly -in mind if she is to succeed. Reading, like all language, is a -combination of thought and symbol. The thought gives the meaning -and is the _reason_ for reading, while the symbol is only the tool -and instrument of the thought. Care must be taken to see (a) that -the child forms clear images of what he is reading; and (b) that he -obeys the fundamental law of mind of proceeding from wholes to parts. -By holding these principles in full view and giving the thought -element the leading place, the symbol and phonic elements will fall -into their proper place in accomplishing the purpose of elementary -reading, namely, the association of the symbol and its meaning in a -vital unity. - - - - - +PART II.+ - - FIRST HALF YEAR: - FIRST STEP. - - -Two lines of work are to be developed at separate periods each day. - - 1. Ear Training Exercises. - 2. Preliminary Blackboard Lessons. - - - EAR TRAINING EXERCISES. - -=Directions.= 1. The purpose of ear training is to familiarize the -child with the elementary sounds in the language, so that he may have -accurate sound images before associating them with the corresponding -symbols. - -2. Give the sounds of the letters, not the names. Teach the -letter-names later in the Phonic Lessons. Give the sounds softly but -distinctly. A loud, harsh voice makes purity of sound impossible. - -3. Cultivate the attentive ear in children. Teach them to hear, and -then to image, the song of the birds, the patter of the rain, the -sound of the wind, the hum of the bee, the puff of the locomotive and -other familiar sounds. - -4. The rhymes and poems are suggestive, not final. The teacher may -choose others if they better meet her need. Those selected from song -literature have a tone quality that will interest children and prove -helpful in training the ear. Read the poems aloud in a well modulated -voice, with clear articulation, that the children may become -sensitive to the beauty of the human voice. - -5. Ear training should precede the formal study of phonics for a few -weeks. The exact time required cannot be arbitrarily named, because -it depends not only upon the ability of the class but also upon the -teaching power of the one in charge. From six to eight weeks, with -daily periods ten or fifteen minutes in length, will accomplish good -results. - - I. - -Consonant sounds are taught by phonic analysis of words, and not -by any artificial device. Ear training exercises are helpful as a -preparation for this work. Let the first sounding be done _by the -teacher_ and have the children perform the actions as she slightly -separates the sound elements. In this way the ear soon becomes -accustomed to the formation of words from their phonic elements. -_Ex.:_ - - John may r-un. - Mary may j-ump. - You may h-op, Frank. - - * * * * * - - Mary may bring me a b-ook. - John may put the b-ook on the t-able. - William, please bring the fl-ag. - Frank may wave the fl-ag. - -_Caution._ There should be no abruptness about such an exercise. -The slight separation and the gentle prolonging are sufficient to -keep the children listening and interested. Avoid giving to separate -consonants, sounds which they do not possess. - - II. - -=Slow Pronunciation of Names.= Children are interested in their own -names; if they pronounce these slowly they will begin to distinguish -sounds. The teacher first pronounces her own name as the children -watch, making prominent the initial sound. She then calls upon -different children to pronounce their names. _Ex.:_ A child named -Mary says: "My name is M-ary," emphasizing the sound "M." Another -says, "My name is R-obert," emphasizing the sound "R," etc. - - III. - -=Singing Games.= The old-fashioned singing games, such as "Here We Go -Round the Mulberry Bush," "London Bridge," "Looby Loo," etc., will -delight the children and are excellent exercises for ear training. -(See _Folk Songs and Games_ by Marie Ruef Hofer.) - - IV. - -=Phonic Game.= _What is it?_ A child acts as leader and stands in the -front of the room. The children in their seats question him until the -supply of rhymes is exhausted. _Ex.:_ - - Leader: I'm thinking of something that rhymes with _top_. - Child: Is it chop? - Leader: It is not chop. - Child: Is it hop? - Leader: It is hop. - -_Object_. Grouping of words with like phonograms and final consonants. - - V. - -=Phonic Game.= _Guess._ Ask a child to leave the room. Children -in their seats choose a word. When the child returns he either acts -out the word he has in mind or describes it. _Ex.:_ - - _Action._ - -We are thinking of something that rhymes with _bat_. - - Is it this? (Child guessing puts on a hat.) - No. It is not hat. - Is it this? (Child guessing pats his head.) - No. It is not pat. - Is it this? (Child guessing says _Meow_.) - Yes. It is cat. - Is it a pretty color? - It is not red. - Is it something we sleep in? - It is not bed. - Is it a boy's name? - Yes. It is Ned. - - VI. - -=Phonic Game.= _Hide and Seek._ Teacher gives the first rhyme. -She then calls upon a child to give a rhyme using the same initial -letter. This child then calls upon another child. Continue in this -way until the rhymes are exhausted. _Ex.:_ - - I am in _run_. - I am not in _Sun_. - - I am in _rug_. - I am not in _bug_. - - I am in _rose_. - I am not in _nose_. - -_Object_--Grouping of words with like initial consonants. - -_Caution_--Be careful to articulate the initial and final consonants -distinctly. - - - A LIST OF RHYMES AND POEMS. - -The teacher may read the following rhymes and poems to the -children in connection with the Ear Training Exercises. - - +THE MELODIES OF MOTHER GOOSE.+ - - Three Little Kittens. - Hey, Diddle, Diddle. - Baa, Baa, Black Sheep. - Peter Piper. - One, Two, Buckle My Shoe. - I Saw a Ship a-sailing. - - +SONG LITERATURE FROM THE+ _Modern Music Primer_. - - The Fireman Frederick Manley. - The Journey's End " " - The Humming Bird " " - The Reason Why " " - The Woodpecker " " - - +SONG LITERATURE FROM+ _Small Songs for Small Singers_. - - Mr. Duck and Mr. Turkey W. H. Neidlinger. - Tiddledy-winks and Tiddledy-wee " " - Tick-Tock " " - - "The Drum," by Eugene Field. - _Book: "Poems of Childhood."_ - - "Who Stole the Bird's Nest?" by Lydia Maria Child. - _Book: "Child Life," (Selections) John G. Whittier (Ed.)._ - - "Robert of Lincoln," by William Cullen Bryant. - _Book: Whittier's "Child Life."_ - - "The Clucking Hen," from _"Aunt Effie's Rhymes."_ - _Book: Whittier's "Child Life."_ - - - PRELIMINARY BLACKBOARD LESSONS. - - (Time, about eight weeks.) - -=Directions.=1. This Manual contains thirty Preliminary Blackboard -Lessons. The purpose is to associate thought and symbol. These -preliminary lessons anticipate the first twenty-nine pages in the -Primer but do not exactly reproduce the text. By means of the -blackboard work the pupil accumulates a small initial vocabulary -which enables him to read the lessons in the Primer with no fear or -uncertainty of the text. - -2. There is no exact limit to the number of Preliminary Blackboard -Lessons that should be taught. Those given in the Manual indicate the -order of development, not the time. American children will master -the lessons given in from six to eight weeks. Foreign children will -require a little more time, since they must learn to associate -thought with both the spoken and the written symbol. When children -read lessons written on the blackboard with ease, put the Primer in -their hands. - - - I. - -The teacher writes the action sentence _Run._ on the blackboard in a -clear, distinct hand. The initial capital and the period at the end -are consistently used, so that from the beginning the children are -accustomed to them. After writing the word the teacher expresses the -action by running. If her dignity will not permit her to do this, -she may bring in a child from the second or third grade and ask him -to perform whatever action is indicated by the word written upon the -board. The word is not spoken at this time; the child discovers -the meaning from the action. The whole purpose of the teacher is -to associate the thought expressed by the action with its written -symbol. Let this word remain on the board; write it in a larger -hand near the place where the word was first written. Again let the -teacher or child perform the act. Select another board; write the -word in a smaller hand. Again express the thought in action. The -class will watch this with deep interest. Some member of the class -will soon associate the written word with the action, and will stand -upon the first round of the ladder leading to the interpretation of -thought from written symbols. - -The reason for writing the word in a larger and a smaller hand, and -especially in different places on the blackboard, is to prevent -local association. Then, too, the change of place will intensify the -child's interest and attention. - -Make the reading lesson short and repeat it at intervals during the -day. If fifteen minutes is the time set apart for reading, divide -this into three five-minute periods. The lesson period should be -lengthened as the work advances. - - II. III. IV. - -On each succeeding day, and in the same manner, teach - - Hop. - Jump. - Sing. - -Teach one word a day and review those previously taught. Write the -words on the blackboard a number of times arranged irregularly, and -have frequent short drills upon them. - -These four verbs, _Run_, _Hop_, _Jump_, and _Sing_, have been found -by practical experience to be very good ones for the beginning -lessons. They will occur again and again in the later stories about -animals and pets. They are also used in the stories about the plays -and games which children delight to reproduce in the reading lesson. - - V. - - REVIEW. - -Three methods of presenting a reading lesson are suggested: - - _A_ - - 1. The teacher writes an action word on the blackboard. - - 2. The teacher asks a child to perform the action. - - 3. The child looks at the blackboard and reads the word. -(This is the beginning of oral reading.) - - _B_ - - 1. The teacher asks a child to perform any action he - chooses. - - 2. The teacher asks another child to tell what the first one - did. - - 3. The teacher writes the action word on the blackboard. - - _C_ - - 1. One child tells another what action to perform. - - 2. The child performs the action. - - 3. The teacher writes the word on the blackboard. - -Many devices will suggest themselves to the progressive teacher -if she clearly understands that the purpose of the lesson is to -associate the thought with its written or printed symbol. If the -child, after observing a word written on the blackboard, expresses -the thought in action, he shows that he has read it. - - VI. - - _and._ - -The teacher writes sentences like the following on the blackboard: - - Run and jump. - Jump and run. - Run and hop. - Hop and run. - Run and jump and hop. - Jump and hop and run. - -Endless combinations may be made with these words, giving constant -change of thought while repeating the words. It is quite possible in -this way to have word repetition with variety of thought. - -Each time a sentence is written on the blackboard the process is as -follows: - - First: Observe the words. (Silent reading.) - Second: Express the thought in action. - Third: Pronounce the words. (Oral reading.) - -Some children grasp the sentence form as unconsciously as they do -the word form. If they fail to do so, teach the use of the capital -letter. - -Vary the lesson by introducing the names of children in the class, -thus: - - Run and jump, Mary. - John, hop and jump. - - VII. - - _I can._ - -The phrase _I can_ is next introduced. Write upon the blackboard the -sentence _I can run_. Read it to the children. Have a child perform -the action and then read the sentence aloud. Proceed in this way with -other action sentences. Group the sentences in various ways and have -frequent reviews. - - I can sing. - I can hop. - I can run and jump. - I can jump and hop. - I can hop, and run, and jump. - -The reading process consists of three steps: - - First: Silent reading. - Second: The thought expressed in action. - Third: Oral reading. - -After teaching the sentence as a whole, it should be analyzed into -words. For instance, ask a child to pass to the blackboard and point -to _I can_ as many times as he finds it written. Point to _run_, etc. -This may be varied by asking a child to underscore or erase the words -that are alike. - - VIII. - - _Rover_. - -Household pets, anything and everything that is familiar to a child -and in which he is interested, will serve as material for reading -lessons. Rover is a universal name for a dog and hence is arbitrarily -used for illustrative purposes in these lessons. If Dash happens to -be a better name known to the child, use that. Sentences like the -following will suggest themselves: - - Rover can run. - Rover can jump. - Rover can run and jump. - I can hop. - Rover and I can run. - - IX. - - _Kitty_. - -Kittens are a never failing source of interest to children. At -a suggestion from the teacher the children themselves will give -sentences like the following: - - Kitty can jump. - Kitty can run. - Kitty and I can run. - Kitty and I can jump. - Kitty and Rover can run and jump. - -The teacher writes these sentences upon the blackboard as they are -given to her by the different children. She then calls upon other -children to read them. A child may pretend that she is Kitty and -dramatize the action. This dramatic instinct is universal in children -and should be recognized throughout the school life. - - X. - - _You._ - -The question form is easily learned and should be introduced in the -early lessons. Combine familiar words in new relations: - - Can you run? - Can you sing? - You can jump. - Can Kitty hop? - Can you hop and sing? - - XI. XII. XIII. XIV. XV. XVI. XVII. - -Write upon the blackboard in a vertical row several _I see_ -sentences. Have the children read them. Erase _I see_ in each -sentence, leaving _Rover_, _Kitty_, _you_. Again, place several _I -see_ sentences upon the blackboard. Erase _Rover_, _Kitty_, _you_, -leaving _I see_, _I see_, _I see_. Erase _I_, leaving the single word -_see_. - -Continue in this way with the phrases _I can see_, _I have_, _I -like_, _I love_. - -Children are interested in home life, therefore introduce the words -_father_, _mother_, _brother_, _sister_, _baby_ in the early lessons. - -Teach the articles _a_, _an_, _the_ in connection with their nouns in -order to secure natural expression. - -Review these words in new sentences which combine familiar words in -new relations. _Ex.:_ - - XI. XII. - - _I see._ _I can see._ - - I see Rover. I can see Rover jump. - I see Kitty. I can see Kitty run. - I see you. I can see you run and jump. - - XIII. XIV. - - _The bird._ _I have; a dog._ - - Can you see the bird? I have a bird. - The bird can hop. I have a dog. - The bird can sing. I have a kitty. - The bird can jump. Have you a bird? - Can the bird jump? Have you a kitty? - Have you a dog? - - XV. XVI. XVII. - - _I like; to._ _I love; mother; father; baby_ - - - I like Rover. I love Mother. - I like Kitty. I love Father. - I like to sing. I love you. - I like to run. Mother loves Baby. - I like to see the bird hop. Baby loves Kitty. - I like to see a dog jump. I love Mother and Father. - I like to see Rover run. - - XVIII. - -Children are interested in their own names, hence they will quickly -learn to associate the spoken name with its written symbol. Write -upon the blackboard the sentence, _Catch the ball_, ----. (Teacher, -supply the name of a child in the room.) Erase the name and replace -it with a different one. Continue in this way with other names. _Ex.:_ - - Catch the ball, John. - ----, catch the ball. - Roll the ball, ----. - Mary, roll the ball to ----. - ----, run to ----. - ----, hop to ----. - - XIX. - -From this time on it will add to the interest if the sentences are so -connected that they tell a story. The following method has been found -helpful: - -Suppose a bird has been observed. The children have something to say -and this serves as material for a reading lesson. First one child and -then another expresses his thought about the bird. The teacher writes -the easiest of these sentences upon the blackboard, the result being -somewhat as follows: - - I see a bird. - It is a blue bird. - The blue bird can sing. - The blue bird can hop. - -The teacher asks the children to read silently the entire story. As -soon as each child is ready he may rise and turn his back to the -blackboard. He then gives the thought in his own language. _Ex.:_ - - I see a blue bird. - The blue bird can sing and hop. - -Call upon different children to express the thought, and accept any -condensation of language which shows this power. The purpose in -asking the child to interpret the whole story in his own language is -to show that he has the _thought_. - -The children are now ready to analyze the story into sentences. A -good device is to cover the story with a curtain provided for the -purpose. Raise the curtain and ask the children to observe, let us -say, the third sentence. Cover this and ask a child to give the exact -language. _Ex.:_ - - The blue bird can sing. - -If he cannot do so, raise the curtain again and let him observe. -Continue in this way with the other sentences, showing them to the -children in an irregular order. The purpose of this is to show that -the children not only have the thought as a whole, but that they know -the words in each sentence. - -By this method children are trained to read groups of words at a -glance. They observe the sentence as a whole, image it as a whole, -and read it as a whole. Comprehension of the thought leads to freedom -of expression. In consequence, pupils will not be heard pronouncing -disconnected words in unnatural, artificial tones. - -The development of the lesson is as follows: - - First: Children observe and express. - - Second: The teacher writes this expression on the blackboard. - When a story of three or four sentences is complete - the order of interpretation is as follows: - - First: Children observe and image. (Silent reading.) - - Second: Each child in turn expresses the whole thought. - - Third: The children read each sentence. (Oral reading.) - -Color appeals to all children. Frequent use of it should be made -in describing birds, flowers, and animals in the first reading lessons. -The following are suggestive lessons containing such words as _big_, -_little_, _pretty_, and adjectives of color. - - _pretty; my; white._ - - I have a pretty kitty. - My kitty is white. - Kitty can run and jump. - I like my pretty white kitty. - - - _big; little; black._ - - Rover is a big, black dog. - I love a little, white kitty. - Rover likes my little kitty. - Rover and Kitty run and jump. - -Vary the work at this point by teaching the word are and putting some -of the stories in the second person. Children will enjoy reading or -talking to an imaginary Rover or Kitty. _Ex.:_ - - I see you, Rover. - You are my big, black dog. - You can run and jump. - I like you, Rover. - - XX. - - SUMMARY. - - Run. I can Rover big and - Jump. I see Kitty little to - Hop. I have bird pretty my - Sing. I like a dog blue the - I love mother white - catch father black - are ball - -With this limited vocabulary the teacher is able to formulate many -sentences. - - XXI. - -Write upon the blackboard descriptions given by the children of -grandma, father, mother, baby, or other members of the family. This -will train them to observe closely and to image clearly. (Proceed as -in Lesson XIX.) - - I have a baby brother. - He has brown eyes. - He can laugh. - He can walk. - His name is Robert. - -If necessary, let several development lessons precede the story in -order to emphasize certain aspects of thought or particular words. - - 1. - - My name is Helen. - My name is Mary. - My name is John. Etc. - - 2. - - Baby brother can laugh. - Baby brother can cry. - Baby brother can walk. - Baby brother can pat-a-cake. Etc. - - XXII. - -Let each child describe his own home. Write one of these descriptions -on the blackboard, somewhat as follows: - - We live in a house. - It is a white house. - It is made of wood. - It has a yard. - - XXIII. - -In the language lesson show pictures of the home life of children of -other lands. Have the children observe, image, and describe these -pictures. Later, write a description of one of the pictures on the -blackboard as a reading lesson. - - 1. - - This is a little Indian boy. - He lives in a wigwam. - It is made of skins. - It is by the blue sea-water. - - 2. - - This is a little Eskimo girl. - She lives in the North. - It is very cold. - Her house is made of snow and ice. - -Whenever it is necessary, precede the story with one or more -development lessons. - - XXIV. - -Select a little girl with bright dress and attractive coloring to -stand before the class. Ask the children to observe, and then to -close their eyes and image the child. Tell the little girl to step -into the dressing room or behind a screen and have the children -describe her. Express from the image, not from the object. The -teacher writes the description on the blackboard, somewhat as follows: - - 1. - - Mary is a little girl. - She has blue eyes. - She has brown hair. - She has a blue dress. - - 2. - -Omit the observation and write upon the blackboard a description of a -boy or a girl in the room. Supply a name and have one of the children -locate the boy or girl. _Ex.:_ - - I see a boy. - He has black eyes. - He has black hair. - He has a red tie. - Name the boy,----. - - XXV. - -Nature lessons, handicraft lessons, playthings, games, and everything -which appeals to the interest of the children may be used as material -for the reading lessons. _Ex.:_ - - This is John's kite. - It is a big kite. - It is a red kite. - John made the kite. - He can fly his kite. - - XXVI. - -Let the girls having something brown about them impersonate brown -birds. _Ex.:_ Brown eyes; brown ribbons; brown dresses. Have them -read the sentences silently and then perform the action. By a gentle -movement of the arms the birds are represented as flying. - - Play you are brown birds, girls. - Fly, pretty brown birds. - Sing, pretty brown birds. - -Let the boys having something black about them impersonate -blackbirds. _Ex.:_ Black shoes; black clothing; black eyes. - - Play you are blackbirds, boys. - Hop, little blackbirds. - Fly, little blackbirds. - -Adapt the following lesson to suit the conditions by changing either -the name or the color. _Ex.:_ If there is a little girl in the room -with a red ribbon whose name is not _Mary_, substitute the real name. - - Play you are a redbird, Mary. - You have a red ribbon. - You may sing, pretty redbird. - - XXVII. - -Experience proves that a rapid and easy way for children to learn to -read is by means of nursery rhymes and simple poems. The method of -presenting a rhyme is as follows: - -Have the children learn the rhyme by ear and repeat it aloud. Write -the rhyme _Two Little Blackbirds_, on the board. (See Primer, page -23. In order that recognition may take place when the same rhymes -are seen in print, carefully copy the arrangement of the text as -found in the Primer.) Draw a pointer slowly under each line as the -children repeat the rhyme. Do this several times until they begin to -associate the spoken symbol with the written symbol. Children will -soon recognize the elements most prominent. - -After teaching the rhyme as a whole, analyze it into parts. Write -lines, phrases, and words in different places on the blackboard. Have -the children observe, image, and find these in the rhyme. _Ex.:_ _Two -little blackbirds_; _upon a hill_; _one was named_; _fly away_; _come -again_. - -Ask a child to find all the words that are alike. _Ex.:_ _Jack_; -_Jill_; _named_; _fly_; _come_; _again_; etc. Ask another child to -find and name all the words he knows. Let volunteers find lines, -phrases, and words called for by other children who see them. In -some such way as this every symbol can be brought to the child's -consciousness. - -When the children are familiar with the words comprising the rhyme -they are ready to read sentences and stories using these same words -in new relations. Keep the rhyme on the blackboard for reference. -When in doubt about a word let the child find it himself by repeating -the rhyme until he reads that word. - - * * * * * - -A summary of the steps involved: - - 1. Memorize the rhyme in order to acquire the thought. - - 2. Associate this thought with the written symbols. - - 3. Separate the rhyme into sentences, phrases, and words. - - 4. Combine these parts in new wholes; that is, in new sentences - and stories. - -One essential principle in learning to read is that the thought shall -be familiar and interesting. The purpose of the elementary reading -lesson is to associate old thought with a new symbol. - -This same rhyme may be modified and used as a game. Select two -children with blue ribbons, dresses, suits, or neckties, to -impersonate bluebirds. Substitute their names and write the rhyme on -the board as follows: - - Two little bluebirds - Sat upon a hill, - One was named Helen, - The other named Mary. - - Fly away, Helen, - Fly away, Mary. - Come again, Helen. - Come again, Mary. - -Have the two bluebirds read the words from the blackboard, run to a -corner of the room, and stoop down to dramatize the words "sat upon a -hill." At the words "fly away" the little birds run around the room -with outstretched arms to imitate the flying motion. At the words -"come again" they should return to their original position. This -exercise gives repetition of words with variety of thought. - - XXVIII. - - Rock-a-by, baby, - In the tree-top. - When the wind blows - The cradle will rock. - When the bough breaks - The cradle will fall, - Down will come baby, - Cradle and all. - -Memorize the rhyme. Children like to express thought in action, -therefore when memorizing the rhyme let them hold imaginary babies in -their arms and gently rock them to the rhythm of the words. - -Write the rhyme on the blackboard. Write the lines, phrases, and -words elsewhere on the blackboard. Let the children observe these and -find them in the rhyme. _Rock-a-by_; _In the tree-top_; _When the -wind blows_; _When the bough breaks_; etc. - -Find the words that are alike, _baby_; _cradle_; _when_; _the_; -_will_; etc. - - -Action Sentences Based on the Rhyme. - -Write upon the blackboard the sentence, _Bring me the doll_. Have the -children read it silently. Ask a child to perform the action, and -then read the sentence aloud. Continue in this way with other action -sentences. - - Play rock-a-by, baby. - Make a cradle. - Rock the cradle. - Sing to the baby. - Sing rock-a-by, baby. - -A real doll and cradle may be used and the following sentences -be expressed in action: - - Bring me the doll. - Bring me the cradle. - Put the doll in the cradle. - Rock the cradle. - Sing to the doll. - Sing rock-a-by, baby. - -Teach _bring_, _put_, _make_, and other new verbs as sight words and -use them in preliminary development lessons. _Ex.:_ - - Bring me the ball. - Bring me the bell. Etc. - - * * * * * - - Put the ball on the table. - Put the bell on the table. Etc. - -_Kindergarten Finger Play_ furnishes excellent _action_ upon which -to base the use of the word _make_. _Ex.:_ - - Make baby's ball. - Make baby's cradle. - Make baby's hammer. Etc. - - XXIX. - -=See-Saw.= (Primer, page 24.) Children like to recite to appropriate -action. Rhythmic movement may be taught with the "See-Saw" rhyme as -follows: While repeating the first two lines sink to a squatting -position and rise again two times. While repeating the second line -bend alternately to the right and left three times. Repeat these -motions with the third and fourth lines. - - XXX. - -=The Transition from Script to Print.= It is impossible to give a -fixed rule stating the time when the child should pass from the -blackboard script to the book. This varies with the age and ability -of the pupils. The observant teacher knows when to place printed -material in the hands of the child by the readiness and ease with -which he reads from the blackboard. It will be necessary to write the -first lessons in the Primer on the blackboard for the children to -observe the resemblance between that which is written upon the board -and that which is printed in the book. Every primary teacher should -_write a clear, legible hand_. - - * * * * * - -+NOTE+:--"_The Old Woman and Her Pig_," "_The House that Jack -Built_," or other nursery rhymes involving much repetition of -language, will be found helpful for supplementary blackboard lessons. - - - - - +Part III.+ - - FIRST HALF YEAR: - SECOND STEP. - - -1. Blackboard Lessons and Primer. - -2. Phonic Lessons: - - (a) The Consonant Sounds. - - (b) Phonograms derived from Words used - in the Primer. - - (c) Word Drill. - - - - BLACKBOARD LESSONS AND PRIMER. - - (Time, about twelve weeks.) - -=Directions.= 1. There are seventeen rhymes and simple poems in the -Primer. The vocabulary is based on the words found in these rhymes -and poems. Have the children memorize each rhyme. Write it upon the -blackboard and teach the elements as in previous exercises. (See page -43, Part II, Lesson XXVII.) - -2. Continue the blackboard lessons along with the reading of the -Primer. If necessary, precede a lesson in the book with one or more -development lessons on the blackboard. (See page 39, Part II, Lesson -XXI.) - -3. The enjoyment of poetry must be recognized as a legitimate part -of the child's development. To meet this need a Supplementary List -of Poems is given to be read in connection with the Primer lessons. -Wherever possible the poems have been chosen from books of selected -poems, because these are usually more accessible. - -=Reading from the Primer.= Page 31, Paragraph 1. Ask a child to read -the words spoken by Robin Redbreast; ask another child to read the -words spoken by Pussy Cat; ask a third child to read the descriptive -portions of the lesson. - -Paragraph 2. Have the children read the sentences silently and -observe the picture on the opposite page. Answer the directions aloud. - -Proceed in the same way with paragraph 2, on page 32. - -Page 43. While reciting the second part of each stanza have the -children imitate the action named. This may also be played as a -"Singing Game." (See _Songs, Games and Rhymes_ by Eudora Lucas -Hailmann.) - -Page 45. Paragraph 1--Read the questions silently and answer them -aloud. Proceed in the same way with similar lessons throughout the -Primer. - -Paragraph 2. Observation Game: Place a nut or some other object in -a box. Let the children observe this for an instant only. Use for a -blackboard lesson as follows: - - 1. Teacher, write question upon the blackboard. - 2. Children, read the question silently. - 3. Children, answer the question aloud. - -The following is a suggestive method for the reading lesson on Page -45, paragraph 2. Ask two children to read the lesson as a dialogue. -_Ex.:_ - - First Child: "Is it a red ball?" - Second Child: "No. It is not a red ball." Etc. - -Page 48. Rhythmic movement may accompany this lesson. Have four -children cross right hands to form a windmill. Turn in time while -repeating the rhyme _Blow, Wind! Blow!_ Another windmill motion may -be taught as follows: - -Two children stand back to back. Extend the arms and move them -alternately up and down with a gentle fanning motion. Have the -children in their seats recite the rhyme _Blow, Wind! Blow!_ - -Page 62. Tap rhythmically with the finger tips upon the desk in -imitation of the rain while reciting the poem, _Rain_. - -Page 72. Ask several children to pass around the room. Ask a little -boy to lift his cap as he passes by his friends and to greet them by -saying, "How do you do, Mary?" Ask a little girl to _bow_ to a friend -as she passes by and to say, "How do you do,----?" (See game "Going -Walking" in _Popular Folk Games and Dances_ by Marie Ruef Hofer.) Use -the words, "Good morning," if this form of greeting is preferred. -Explain to the children that the name is added as a mark of courtesy. - -Page 80. The blackboard lessons may be extended by adding other -animals. _Ex.:_ - - 1. With a "Moo! Moo!" here, etc.----cows. - 2. With a "Quack! Quack!" here, etc.----ducks. - 3. With a "Bow-wow!" here, etc.----dogs. - - LIST OF POEMS. - -The teacher may read the following poems to the children in -connection with the reading lessons in the Primer as indicated by the -pages. - - 11 "Twenty Froggies," by George Cooper. - _Book: "Pinafore Palace," (Selections) Wiggin & - Smith (Eds.)._ - - 26 "When Little Baby Bye-bye Goes." (Author unknown.) - _Book: "Pinafore Palace."_ - - 33 "The Secret."

There are twenty-five elementary consonant sounds. -The purpose of the phonic lessons is to associate these consonant -sounds with the letters representing them, and to become accustomed -to the use of phonograms based upon words in the Primer. Word -recognition should become automatic. See page 112 for a scientific -arrangement of the consonant sounds. - -2. All of the blackboard work should be written, not printed. The -child reproduces by a more or less unconscious imitation the written -forms which he sees upon the blackboard. - -3. The lessons indicate the order; the time will vary with the -ability of the children and must be determined by the teacher. - - I. - - _r un_. - -Begin with the word _run_. This is a part of the child's vocabulary, -having been learned in the early reading lessons. Appeal is made -first to the ear, then to the eye. The teacher conducts the lesson as -follows: - -The Ear. - - 1. Pronounce _run_ easily and naturally. - - 2. Give the sounds separately, thus: _r-un_. - - 3. Again pronounce the word. Call upon the children collectively - and individually to do the same. - -The Eye. - - 1. Write the word _run_ on the blackboard. - - 2. Cover the _un_ and have the _r_ sounded. - - 3. Cover the _r_ and have the _un_ sounded. - - 4. Uncover the whole word and ask the children to put the - two sounds together to make the word, _run_. - -If the children cannot do this the teacher may do it for them, making -the sound _r_ prominent. The ability to blend one sound with another -should not be a difficult phase of the work. The teacher's attitude -toward blending is the influence which makes it hard or easy for the -child. - -To associate the sound _r_ with its written symbol the following -method is suggested: - -The teacher writes _r_ upon the blackboard, giving the sound, not the -name. She then calls upon the children collectively and individually -to give the sound. - - * * * * * - -_Teacher_: Close your eyes, children. Can you see how _r_ looks? -(Give the sound, not the name.) Watch me make it again. - -Teacher writes _r_ slowly several times, then erases the work. -Children observe, image, and then write _r_ upon the blackboard or -upon paper. If a mistake is made have the child erase, again observe -the teacher as she makes the letter, then write it a second time. - - II. - - _f._ - -Teach the word _fun_ in the same manner that _run_ was taught in -Lesson I. Write on the blackboard: - - _r un_ - _f un_ - -Cover first one part and then the other, sounding each element. - -Write _f_, _r_, _un_, on the blackboard a number of times, arranged -irregularly. Review daily, adding new consonants and phonograms as -they are taught. - - III. - - _s ing._ - -1. Separate both the spoken and the written word _sing_ into the -phonic elements: - - (a) _s_ consonant sound. - - (b) _ing_ phonogram or sound group. - -2. Associate each sound element with its written symbol. - -3. Combine the consonants _r_, _f_, _s_, and the phonograms _un_, -_ing_, to form new words: - - r un s ing r ing s un - s un r ing r un s ing - - IV. - -=Phonic Drill.= Phonic Drill upon words from the Primer will each day -follow two lines: - - I. A list of words to be separated into sounds (Phonic Analysis). - - II. A list of familiar sounds to be combined in new relations to - form words (Phonic Synthesis). - -Phonic Drill upon phonograms and the consonant sounds may be -given in two ways: - - 1. Combine different consonant sounds with the same phonogram. - - 2. Combine different phonograms with the same consonant - sound. - -For convenience the first is called a _Phonic Series_; the second is -called a _Word List_. - -=Phonic Series.= Combine _f_, _r_, _s_, with _at_ to form this phonic -series. Review the _un_ series of words. - -Develop the blend as follows: - -(a) Write _at_ on the blackboard and pronounce it. (The children will -recognize the word, having seen it many times in the reading lessons.) - -(b) Select a consonant, _r_ for example, and write it in front of -_at_. - -(c) Combine the two elements into a whole word without making more of -a separation than is necessary to explain the blending of the sounds. - -Prefix _f_ and _s_ in the same way. - -Write the _at_ and the _un_ series on the blackboard. - - r at r un - f at f un - s at s un - -Children pronounce the words. Cover first one part and then the -other, sounding each element. Review daily, adding new sound elements -as they are taught. As soon as possible refrain from assisting the -children by covering the parts. - - -=Word List.= Write upon the blackboard in a vertical row the words -beginning with _r_, from the Primer, pages 5-26. _Ex.:_ _Rover_, -_roll_, _rock_. Have the children pronounce them. Then erase _over_, -_oll_, _ock_, leaving only _r_, and let children make the sound. -Continue with words beginning with _f_ and _s_ in the same way. - -Again, write several words on the blackboard containing the phonogram -_at_. Erase _f_, _s_, _r_, leaving only _at_. - -Continue in the same way with the _un_ series and the _ing_ series. - - * * * * * - -Word List No. I. - - s ing r at f un - s at r ing f at - s un r un - -Retain this list on the blackboard for daily drill, rearranging the -order from time to time and adding new words as they are taught. The -lists for word drill are not final. Let use be the guide in deciding -the number of words to be taught. The analysis of these words into -their sound elements will determine the number of phonograms to -be taught. Proper drill upon both the phonic series and the word -lists leads to sight recognition of words, by means of their sound -elements. This is the purpose of phonic work. - -=Phonic Cards.= All drill work should train the mind to observe -accurately, to image vividly, and to express quickly. In every -exercise aim to secure, first, clear images; second, rapid work. It -interferes with normal growth and development to reverse this order. -To accomplish these ends, prepare a set of phonic cards each one -representing a separate sound or phonogram, and use for rapid sight -work after the board work has been given. Cut cards to a uniform size -of eight by six inches, out of heavy paper, and write with India ink -and a camel's hair brush. Stand in front of the class and call upon -the children in order. If the child cannot give the sound instantly, -call upon another. Children will work rapidly if they are trained to -do so. Review frequently and as the need arises prepare new cards. It -is quite possible to have repetition with a constant variety of new -material. - - V. - - _h op._ - -1. Write _hop_ on the blackboard and teach the sound elements -_h_ and _op_. - -2. Associate each sound with its symbol. - -3. Identify the sound _h_ in the sight words _have_, _has_, _here_, -_hill_. (Proceed as in Lesson IV.) - -4. Add _hop_ to Word List No. 1, and review daily, for a few -moments, at the close of each lesson. - - VI. - - _j._ - -1. Separate the sight words _Jack_, _Jill_, _jump_, into their sound -elements. - - (a) If any of the children in the class have names beginning - with _J_ add these to the list, as: John, Julia, Jones. - - (b) Use capital letters for proper names, small letters for - common ones. Meet each need by teaching that for which - there is a demand. - -2. Associate the sound _j_ with the letter. - -3. Combine _ill_, _ack_, _ump_, with the known consonant sounds to -form the phonic series: - - _ill_ _ack_ _ump_ - - r ill J ack j ump - f ill s ack h ump - s ill h ack - J ill r ack - h ill - - VII. - - _m._ - -1. Write _may_ on the blackboard and teach the sound elements -_m_ and _ay_. - -2. Associate each sound with its symbol. - -3. Identify _m_ in the sight words _Mary_, _my_, _me_, _mother_. - -4. Combine _ay_ with familiar consonant sounds to form the phonic -series: - - h ay - s ay - j ay - r ay - -5. Combine the sound _m_ with the phonograms _ill_, _op_, _at_, -previously taught. Add these to Word List No. 1 for review. - - VIII. - - _p_, initial; final. - -1. Initial _p_--the first sound heard in _pussy_, _play_, _pretty_. - -2. Final _p_--the last sound heard in _hop_, _up_, _jump_, _sleep_. - -3. Associate the sound _p_ with the letter. - -4. Combine _p_ with familiar phonograms to form the words _pat_, -_pack_, _pill_, _pop_, _pump_, _pay_. - -5. Add these words to Word List No. 1 and drill daily. Cultivate -rapid sight recognition of the sound elements. - - IX. - - _in, am, an, and._ - -It is assumed that the children know these phonograms, having learned -them as sight words in the reading lessons. If they fail to recognize -them, use _in_, _am_, _an_, _and_, in sentences and teach them again -as sight words. - -Blend familiar consonant sounds with these phonograms to form the new -phonic series. - - _in_ _am_ _an_ _and_ - - f in S am m an h and - s in h am f an s and - p in j am r an and - - X. - - SUMMARY. - -Consonants: - - _r_, _f_, _s_, _h_, _j_, _m_, _p_. - -Phonograms: - - _at_, _ack_, _am_, _an_, _and_, _ay_, - _ing_, _ill_, _in_, - _op_, - _un_, _ump_. - -Phonic Series. - - _at_ _ack_ _am_ _an_ _and_ _ay_ - - h at p ack j am m an h and j ay - m at r ack h am r an s and h ay - f at J ack S am f an and s ay - s at h ack p an p ay - r at s ack - - - _ing_ _ill_ _in_ _op_ _un_ _ump_ - - r ing m ill f in m op s un j ump - s ing h ill s in h op f un h ump - f ill p in p op r un p ump - t ill - s ill - -Word List No. II. - - rack sand ham hand mop pop Jack - ran say hill hop mill pan Jill - ray Sam hack may pill pack jump - fill sack hat man pat pin jay - fin sin hay mat pay pump jam - -+NOTE.+-- - - (a) As soon as the children can read the words arranged in - a series, take them irregularly. When they have power quickly - to perceive and blend the sound elements, refrain from covering - the parts. The goal is instant sight recognition. - - (b) Secure individual recitations. Concert work has its - place, but the object is individual power. - - (c) Note the words over which the children hesitate and - make these the basis of the next arrangement. - - (d) Frequently rearrange the phonic list. The object is not - to memorize the words, but to give the children the power to - read them by their sound elements. - - (e) Add the names of children in the class to the word lists - and analyze these into their sound elements. - - XI. - - Final _s_. - -Add _s_ to all the words in Word Lists Nos. I and II, where its use -will form a word. - -Write the simple form of the word on the blackboard and have it -pronounced. Write it again with the _s_ added, and have it pronounced -a second time. _Ex.:_ - - sing sing s - ring ring s - run run s - tree tree s - see see s - -It will be found helpful to have a card seven by nine inches, with -an _s_ written upon it.

In the Primer, the First Reader, and the Second -Reader, the words of the vocabulary are arranged in the order in -which they first occur, and are grouped by pages in a word list -placed in the back of the book. Since teachers usually write -unfamiliar words upon the blackboard and develop them in a word drill -preceding the reading lesson, it has not been thought necessary to -place the new words at the beginning of each lesson. (See Spelling, -page 17. Also Word Drill, page 19.) - -2. If necessary precede a lesson in the First Reader with a -development lesson on the blackboard. (See page 39, Part II, Lesson -XXI.) - -3. A Supplementary List of Poems is given to be read in connection -with the lessons in the First Reader. Do not ask children to retell -the poems read aloud. To develop an appreciation of poetry is the -object. Children who have been accustomed to hearing poetry will read -and enjoy the poems in their readers as much as the stories. The -teacher's attitude toward poetry is the suggestion that influences. - - - THE FIRST READER. - -Page 7. Memorize the poem. Write it upon the blackboard and -teach the elements as in the Primer lessons based upon Nursery -Rhymes. (See page 43, Part II, Lesson XXVII.) - -Page 10.

In Phonic Lessons, First Half Year, Second Step, the -child learned the consonant sounds and some of the common phonograms. -In the second half year phonograms are analyzed for the purpose of -recognizing the vowel sounds as elements. There are twenty elementary -vowel sounds. The purpose of the phonic lessons is to associate -these vowels with the symbols representing them. See page 113 for a -scientific arrangement of the vowel sounds. - - I. - - _a_ (short). - - 1. Separate _at_ into the sound elements _a_ and _t_. (Give the - sound, not the name.) - - 2. Associate the sound with the letter. - - 3. Combine _a_ (short) with the consonants _n_, _m_, _t_, _p_, _d_, - to form the phonograms _an_, _am_, _at_, _ap_, _ad_. - - 4. Analyze short words containing the sound of _a_ (short) into - phonic elements. (A knowledge of the elementary sounds is the - foundation upon which rests the power to recognize new words.) - - fan jam mat sad tap - f a n j a m m a t s a d t a p - - 5. Analyze the following words, making prominent _a_ (short): - _rat_, _Sam_, _pat_, _had_, _sat_, _thank_, _sang_, _ash_, _splash_. - - II. - - _a_ (long). - -Final _e_ causes the preceding vowel to take its _name_ instead -of its _sound_. Do not teach the rule, but its application. No -diacritical marks are necessary to indicate the short and long vowel -sounds. (Children quickly discover that the final _e_ changes the -preceding vowel from the sound to the name. This is true of almost -all words.

Two consonant sounds may be omitted from the phonic - work in the primary grades. - - (_a_) Omit the breath sound of _th_ as in _thin_, _thick_, - _thank_, since the vocal sound as in _this_, _then_, _they_ is more - often in the child's vocabulary. It will be confusing to have two - sounds for the same symbol. - - (_b_) The _zh_ sound as heard in _pleasure_, _measure_, - _treasure_, does not occur in the Summers Readers and therefore is - omitted. Let the symbol _s_ at first represent the breath sound as - in _sit_. - - 2. _p_, _b_, and _m_ are in a horizontal line indicating that - all are made by the same organs of speech. - - _t_, _d_, _n_, _l_, _r_, all have the point of the tongue as the - active organ and the upper gum as the passive organ in articulation. - - _q_ and _x_ are not elementary sounds.

The sounds in _ask_, _fair_, and _more_ should be -used with accuracy by the teacher, since the child is at the most -imitative and impressionable stage. In the early phonic work it will -confuse the child if he is taught two sounds for the same symbol. In -this Manual the symbol _a_ means invariably _a_ (short) as in _cat_, -therefore such words as _ask_, _chance_, _after_ are taught through -the series idea. _Fair_, _hair_, _bore_, _more_ are taught in the -same manner. - - -[Illustration: publisher-logo] -[Illustration: back-cover] - -*** END OF THE PROJECT GUTENBERG EBOOK THE SUMMERS READERS *** - -Updated editions will replace the previous one--the old editions will -be renamed. - -Creating the works from print editions not protected by U.S. copyright -law means that no one owns a United States copyright in these works, -so the Foundation (and you!) can copy and distribute it in the -United States without permission and without paying copyright -royalties.

It is the thought—the impression—rather than the -form—the expression—which gives value to what is read. With -this fact in mind the subject-matter has been chosen with special -reference to primal social activities in history and contemporaneous -society significant of the race development, as the securing of food, -shelter, and clothing. But this subject-matter must touch the child -personally if it is to be of value in learning to read. It must appear -for him in the form of action, rhythm, stories, observation, plays -and games, if the symbols of reading are to be fraught with meaning -for him.

It is a complex unity composed -of thought and symbol, spoken or written. Because it is the means -by which different minds are identified in thought, it becomes an -essential factor in social organization.</p> - -<p><b>Symbolism.</b> In a wider sense all means of social communication, -material and pictorial expressions, as well as spoken and written -words, may be called language. Thought, through symbol, to thought, -is the whole social process of language, spoken and written, for -every meaning has a symbol and every symbol has a meaning.</p> - -<p><b>The Problem in Learning to Read.</b> The problem in teaching reading -is to bring the symbol and its meaning into vital unity in the -mind of the learner. Hence it is necessary that the teacher distinguish -clearly between these elements. When the thought and -the symbol have become so united that each is essential to the other, -the problem of learning to read has been solved.</p> - -<p><b>Fundamental Principles.</b> There are three chief fundamental -principles involved in the process of learning to read, namely:</p> - -<div class="blockquot"> - -<p><i><b>First. Images.</b></i> The thought aspect of language depends -upon clear and vivid images. This is so important that unless -children have such images they cannot master the symbols -which represent them. One purpose of nature study, handicraft, -and art is to give children these images.</p> -</div> - -<p><span class="pagenum" id="Page_6">[Pg 6]</span></p> - -<div class="blockquot"> - -<p><i><b>Second. Wholes to Parts.</b></i> In acquiring knowledge the mind -moves from the vague whole to the parts and then back again -to the clarified whole. An understanding of the parts gives -a fuller meaning to the whole. The mind analyzes in order to -reach a better synthesis. When we wish to make known to a -child a coat, for instance, we do not show him separately the -sleeves, the lapels, the pockets, the buttons. We hold up the -whole garment and say, "Here is a coat." It is necessary to -do the same in teaching reading. Give the child first an image -of the whole situation which he is to think himself into, and -then come to the details to make the whole clear.</p> - -<p><i><b>Third. Self-Activity.</b></i> The child is an active, creative agent, -vitally concerned in adjusting himself to his physical and spiritual -environment. Self-activity manifests itself in some external -form, which in language is the symbol of the self-active -thought. Success in teaching reading depends upon the amount -of self-active response the symbol awakens in the thought of -the child.</p> -</div> - -<p>These three fundamental principles, namely, clear and vivid -images, whole situations, and self-activity in the form of response -and interest on the part of the child, should be kept in the foreground -in teaching reading.</p> -<hr class="chap x-ebookmaker-drop"> - -<div class="chapter"> -<p><span class="pagenum" id="Page_7">[Pg 7]</span></p> - -<p class="center xlarge">2.</p> -</div> - -<p class="center large sb2">ELEMENTS IN LEARNING TO READ.</p> - -<p>Since language is composed of thought, symbol, and sound, the -main elements to be considered in learning to read are the thought, -the symbol, and the phonic elements.</p> - -<p class="center sa2 sb2">THE THOUGHT ELEMENT.</p> - -<p><b>The Purpose of the Thought Element.</b> The problem of elementary -reading is to establish a permanent association between the -written or the printed symbols and the thoughts which they -represent. The thought is all-important; it is the vitalizing element -in learning to read. In learning to talk the child associates -the meaning with the spoken symbol; in learning to read he associates -a thought content with a sight symbol. The strength of the -association depends in each case upon the worth the thought has for -the child; hence the great necessity of giving especial attention to -the thought element in learning to read.</p> - -<p><b>Action Sentences.</b> A sentence is the unit of language and the life-giving -factor in the process of learning to read. It is important, -therefore, that in the beginning the child should form the habit of -grasping sentences. In the first reading lessons it is necessary to -find subjects which interest the child and furnish clear mental pictures. -Children are interested in actions. They like to move and -will read for the purpose of performing an action. Action sentences -appeal to all children, because that which a child does makes -a deep impression and involves large self-activity.</p> - -<p><span class="pagenum" id="Page_8">[Pg 8]</span></p> - -<p><b>Nursery Rhymes.</b> Children are so influenced by rhythm that it -is impossible to train them aright without giving due consideration -to this form of expression. There are many interesting complete -rhymes and poems that are valuable for reading lessons. In content -the poetry of childhood should contain familiar images, tinged -with enough of mystery to give that subtle mingling of sense and -nonsense which stirs the imagination of the child and also relates -him to the actual world in which he lives. The Mother Goose melodies -fulfil these conditions, but it is the rhythm far more than the -thought that attracts the child. Have the children learn the rhymes -by ear and recite them with no thought other than that they are to -be enjoyed. Incidentally, they will afford valuable exercise in pronunciation, -articulation, and tone modulation, if the teacher is careful -about these matters, for children are great imitators. Later the -children will read these rhymes and poems with great pleasure, thus -associating a valuable thought content with its printed symbol in a -way that will make the association abiding.</p> - -<p><b>Stories.</b> Children express in action, and ultimately in character, -the influences which they receive from stories. Therefore, stories -containing true and good ideals should be selected. Children appreciate -and love what appeals to the best and the highest in them. -Nursery rhymes, fables, fairy lore, and classic myth should be used. -They have nourished the race, and will also feed the soul life of the -individual child. The outer form varies with the age and the -country, but the inner meaning is of the spirit and will outlast the -centuries. Every teacher should, therefore, carefully cultivate the -art of story-telling. It is far better to present a story orally than to -read it from a book. If it is told, the teacher can adapt it to the -needs of her classes, and by the magnetism of voice, eye, and personality -awaken an abiding love for good literature. At a later -period the child will enjoy reading these same stories in the reading -books of the first and second grades.</p> - -<p><span class="pagenum" id="Page_9">[Pg 9]</span></p> - -<p><b>Observation Lessons.</b> Observation and description should precede -reading in the early lessons. The teacher may write on the blackboard -simple sentences based upon these observations and descriptions. -Anything in the environment of the home or the school which -interests the child should be utilized. Encourage the children to -observe their household pets and to tell the other children about -them. Whatever the child makes in the time devoted to handicraft, -or observes in the nature lessons, or plays in the recreation period -may be used as material for reading lessons. Color is so intimately -connected with the emotional life that its value and importance -should be recognized.</p> - - -<p class="center sa2 sb2">THE SYMBOL ELEMENT.</p> - -<p><b>Use.</b> All thought which rises to the plane of self-consciousness is -communicated by means of a material, a pictorial, or a lingual symbol. -The thought element and the symbol element are two sides of the -same thing, namely, language. They form the <i>impression</i> and <i>expression</i> -of language, and hence of social communication and identity.</p> - -<p><b>Kinds of Symbols.</b> There are two kinds of symbols which must be -mastered in learning to read, namely, the vocal and the graphic, appealing -respectively to the ear and to the eye. These symbols are -made by the voice and the hand, and are recognized by the ear and -the eye. They must always be regarded in the light of that which -they represent in connection with elementary reading, whether used -in receiving or expressing thought. This thought must be kept -clearly in mind in silent and oral reading, in word repetition, and -in word drill. It will aid also in the spelling and the phonic work -of the children.</p> - -<p><span class="pagenum" id="Page_10">[Pg 10]</span></p> - -<p class="center sa2 sb2">THE PHONIC ELEMENT.</p> - -<p><b>Definition.</b> The phonic element deals with articulate sounds -and the letters or the symbols which represent them. Here, as -elsewhere in learning to read, the unity between meaning and -symbol—impression and expression—must be kept clearly in mind. -The spoken symbol implies training in pronunciation, enunciation, -articulation, inflection, and all that makes for clear understanding -and agreeable oral expression of thought. Ear and voice, eye and -hand, are tools which must be trained to work with automatic perfection -as the means in communicating thought.</p> - -<p><b>Purpose.</b> The purpose of the phonic lesson is the association of a -sound with its written or printed symbol, so that the child will be -able to get and to express the sound when the symbol is presented -to him. The sight symbol and the sound symbol should be so -thoroughly associated that immediately upon the presentation of -either one of them the other will appear in consciousness.</p> - -<p><b>Ear and Voice Training.</b> It is of the utmost importance that children -be given a broad experience with sound in the way of ear and -voice training exercises for a few weeks before the formal study of -phonics is begun. These exercises may be carried on in connection -with the thought development in learning to read and in the music -work. In the nature work the children should be trained to listen -to bird note, insect hum, and other sounds of nature. Story-telling -is most helpful in this ear training. It should begin in the first -grade and continue through the entire elementary school period. -The reading of poems aloud should be a regular part of the school -program, not only to stimulate the imagination, but also to give the -enjoyment that comes from the cadence of rhythmic language and -to train the ear to make fine discriminations. Ear training and -voice culture are so intimately related that it is impossible to cultivate -one without cultivating the other, for they sustain to each -other the vital relation of impression and expression.</p> - -<p><span class="pagenum" id="Page_11">[Pg 11]</span></p> - -<p><b>Phonic Facts.</b> The question of the exact number of elementary -sounds in the English language is still unsettled. This Manual is -based on the belief that there are forty-five elementary sounds -in the English language, twenty vowel sounds and twenty-five -consonant sounds. The difficulty in mastering the phonic element -in learning to read English is greatly increased because some of the -elementary sounds are represented by two letters, as <i>th</i> in <i>thin</i>, <i>ea</i> -in <i>head</i>; and some sounds are represented by two or more symbols, -as <i>e</i> in <i>her</i>, <i>u</i> in <i>turn</i>, and <i>i</i> in <i>firm</i>. It is neither necessary nor desirable -that little children should learn all the equivalent symbols; -nor is it considered wise to give to children all of the forty-five -elementary sounds. Forty is the number taught in the phonic -lessons of this Manual. Use has determined the order of presentation.</p> - -<div class="blockquot"> - -<p>1. <i><b>Vowel Sounds.</b></i> The vowels are always pure sound. -They express the emotions and are the rhythmic, musical -element which gives language its beauty. There are many -equivalent spellings for the twenty elementary vowel sounds -in the English language. Those most frequently used are -found on page 113; the others will be learned unconsciously as -the child develops. See page 113 for a scientific arrangement -of the vowel sounds.</p> - -<p><span class="pagenum" id="Page_12">[Pg 12]</span></p> - -<p>2. <i><b>Consonant Sounds.</b></i> The consonants limit and define -sound. Of the twenty-five elementary consonant sounds, ten -have no vocal quality whatever. They are commonly known as -breath sounds—<i><b>f, h, k, p, s, t, ch, sh, th, wh</b></i>. With the -exception of <i><b>h</b></i>, every one of these breath sounds has its corresponding -vocal sound:</p> - -<table> -<tbody> -<tr> - <td class="tdl">f</td> - <td class="tdc"></td> - <td class="tdc">vocalized</td> - <td class="tdc">becomes</td> - <td class="tdl">v</td> -</tr> - -<tr> - <td class="tdl">p</td> - <td class="tdc"></td> - <td class="tdc">"</td> - <td class="tdc">"</td> - <td class="tdl">b</td> -</tr> - -<tr> - <td class="tdl">t</td> - <td class="tdc"></td> - <td class="tdc">"</td> - <td class="tdc">"</td> - <td class="tdl">d</td> -</tr> - -<tr> - <td class="tdl">th (thin)</td> - <td class="tdc"></td> - <td class="tdc">"</td> - <td class="tdc">"</td> - <td class="tdl">th (then)</td> -</tr> - -<tr> - <td class="tdl">wh</td> - <td class="tdc"></td> - <td class="tdc">"</td> - <td class="tdc">"</td> - <td class="tdl">w</td> -</tr> - -<tr> - <td class="tdl">k</td> - <td class="tdc"></td> - <td class="tdc">"</td> - <td class="tdc">"</td> - <td class="tdl">g</td> -</tr> - -<tr> - <td class="tdl">s</td> - <td class="tdc"></td> - <td class="tdc">"</td> - <td class="tdc">"</td> - <td class="tdl">z</td> -</tr> - -<tr> - <td class="tdl">ch</td> - <td class="tdc"></td> - <td class="tdc">"</td> - <td class="tdc">"</td> - <td class="tdl">j</td> -</tr> - -<tr> - <td class="tdl">sh</td> - <td class="tdc"></td> - <td class="tdc">"</td> - <td class="tdc">"</td> - <td class="tdl">zh</td> -</tr> - -</tbody> -</table> - -</div> - -<p>See p. 112 for a scientific arrangement of the consonant sounds.</p> - -<div class="blockquot"> - -<p>3. <i><b>Phonograms</b></i>. In all the phonic lessons used in this -Manual a <i><b>phonogram is the symbol of a sound group</b></i>, usually -composed of a single vowel sound combined with a single -consonant sound. For example, <i><b>ing</b></i> in <i><b>s-ing</b></i> is a phonogram, -but in <i><b>see-ing</b></i> it is a syllable.</p> -</div> - -<p><b>Diacritical Marks.</b> Useless phonograms are a burden rather -than a help; therefore the child should learn only those which -he actually uses. For this reason it is not advisable to use diacritical -marks during the earlier stages of learning to read. They -make the symbol complex and cumbersome, and at the same time -their need and great value do not become apparent until the child -begins to use the dictionary, say, in the fourth school year. In the -earlier stages of learning to read, symbols acquire meaning by being -constantly associated with their respective sounds and thoughts. -Habits of pronunciation are formed by always attaching the same<span class="pagenum" id="Page_13">[Pg 13]</span> -sound values to letters and groups of letters. When a child forms -an image of a word burdened with diacritical marks, he must later -form an image of the word without these. When children are -taught to look for diacritical marks their imaging power is centered -upon the markings of the words instead of the thoughts for which -these words stand; hence it takes longer to get the thought, and as -a consequence they are apt to be slow readers. Rapid readers are -usually thoughtful readers, because they have the power to grasp -quickly a large number of words and to interpret them in mental -pictures.</p> - -<p><b>Phonic Drill.</b> Phonic drill and reading are distinct processes and -should be taught at different periods of the day during the first two -years of school. The purpose of the elementary reading lesson is -to associate permanently the thought and the symbols which represent -it, so that the thought can be gained from the written or -printed language. The purpose of the elementary phonic lesson is -to associate permanently sounds and the characters which represent -them, so that new words can be readily recognized. Both processes -are necessary in teaching reading, but phonic lessons should be relegated -to a subsidiary place so that they may not become an impediment -to the main purpose.</p> - -<p><b>Phonic Method.</b> In the phonic method sight words are analyzed -into their elements, which are then combined in new relations to -form new words. These new combinations of familiar elements in -new relations are recognized again and again, until the association -grows permanent, and so new words are acquired. Consonant -sounds are recognized as initial, final, and medial. Next the phonogram -element is analyzed into its vowel and consonant sounds. By -means of familiar symbols the child has the power to pronounce new -words. A knowledge of individual symbols is the foundation upon<span class="pagenum" id="Page_14">[Pg 14]</span> -which the sight recognition of words rests; hence the necessity of -rapid and varied drills.</p> - -<p>The method suggested in this Manual for phonic lessons is as -follows:</p> - -<div class="blockquot"> - -<p>1. Separate sight words into their consonant sounds and -phonograms.</p> - -<p>2. Separate phonograms into their consonant and vowel -sounds.</p> - -<p>3. Associate these sound elements with their symbols.</p> - -<p>4. Combine the sound elements to form new words (Phonic -Synthesis).</p> - -<p>5. Teach initial and final syllables as phonograms.</p> -</div> -<hr class="chap x-ebookmaker-drop"> - -<div class="chapter"> -<p><span class="pagenum" id="Page_15">[Pg 15]</span></p> - -<p class="center xlarge">3.</p> -</div> - -<p class="center large sb2">METHODS OF TEACHING READING.</p> - -<p>Methods of learning to read are the result of bringing the different -thought, symbol, and phonic elements into combination and -active co-operation. The process is organic and all these features -must be kept in mind. There are two kinds of reading, silent and -oral.</p> - -<p><b>Silent Reading.</b> Silent reading is the personal, individual way of -getting thought from the printed page. The teacher must lead the -pupil to see that the sentences have meaning. From the very -first the teacher should never lose sight of this fundamental principle -and should train the child into the habit of interpreting the printed -page into mental pictures. A good method of conducting the -reading lesson is the following:</p> - -<p>Let each child read the entire lesson silently to get the thought -(whole to parts). When the child does not recognize a word and -cannot get it from the context or the sound elements, tell him what -it is, in as simple a way as he would be told about a new object in -the home. When he has finished reading the child may show that -he is ready to give the thought. The teacher requests a pupil to -give in his own language what he has just read. It will then be -seen how vivid his images are of what he has read and how fully it -has appealed to him. At the same time, his expressing it in his own -words will exercise his self-activity. It is not wise in the beginning -to correct imperfect language to any great extent, for the reason -that the child's attention is liable to be diverted from the main -thought to some detail of the medium of expression. This is disastrous -and will tend to make him unnatural in both his thinking and<span class="pagenum" id="Page_16">[Pg 16]</span> -feeling. It destroys his appreciation for the whole, blurs his images, -and takes away the chief motive for reading.</p> - -<p>In learning to read the child begins with the image of some story, -which he particularizes and clarifies by the thoughts in the sentences -and the ideas in the words. He masters the word elements in this -way, as a unity of meaning and symbol, which gives significance to -the sentence and to the story as a whole. Thus the power of getting -thought from the printed page develops.</p> - -<p><b>Oral Reading.</b> Oral reading is the process of interpreting thought -from the printed page and imparting it to another by means of the -voice. Silent reading should always precede oral reading, so that -the child may get the thought before he attempts to give it. Silent -reading is the power to translate the words into thoughts or -emotions. Oral reading goes a step further and gives these thoughts -and emotions audible expression and awakens them in another. -Silent reading is a necessity; oral reading is an accomplishment. -Oral reading is another way of telling a story. It implies the -ability to awaken one's thoughts in another's mind. It lacks the -freedom of expression usual in story-telling, for it demands power -to interpret and transmit thought almost simultaneously.</p> - -<p>There are many ways of conducting an oral reading lesson. Two -methods are given for illustration:</p> - - -<table> -<tbody> - -<tr><td class="tdl"></td> -<td class="tdc1"><i>A</i></td> -<td class="tdr"></td></tr> - -<tr><td class="tdl"></td> -<td class="tdc"></td> -<td class="tdr"></td></tr> - -<tr><td class="tdl"></td> -<td class="tdc">1.

The child will usually use natural, clear tones in -reading, as he does in talking, if he understands what he -reads. Many children read poorly because they neither understand -nor feel any meaning in the words. Both gesture and language -will be spontaneous if prompted by right thinking and right feeling. -The dramatic presentation of a story, however crude, becomes a -great aid.</p> - -<p><b>Word Repetition.</b> Many repetitions of words, phrases, and sentences -are necessary in mastering the symbol. It is quite possible -to have a repetition of words with an ever-changing variety in valuable -thought. This variety holds the interest of the children and at -the same time accustoms the eye to the repeated symbol. The -symbol elements in the action sentences, observation lessons, nursery -rhymes, and stories must be repeated many times, but, to preserve -interest in them and to increase their meaning, the greatest -care must be taken in the selection and the presentation of the -thought element. If the teacher of elementary reading can master -this part of her work, her success is well-nigh assured.</p> - - -<p class="center sa2 sb2">SPELLING.</p> - -<p><b>Notion and Purpose.</b> Spelling is a finer analysis of the process -of learning to read and hence involves all the elements of learning<span class="pagenum" id="Page_18">[Pg 18]</span> -to read. The problem in learning to spell is to associate permanently -the smallest symbols of the word, the letters, oral and written, -with their appropriate meanings. In oral spelling the impression is -received through the ear; the expression is by means of the voice. -In written spelling the impression is received through the eye; the expression -is by means of the hand. Because written spelling occupies -a much larger place in life through the need of communicating ideas -by means of writing, it should receive more attention in language -teaching than oral spelling. The training of the eye and the hand -is, therefore, more important in learning to spell than the training of -the ear and the voice, although oral spelling sometimes helps by -bringing in the auditory and the vocal memory to assist the visual -and the manual. In the beginning children should learn to spell by -<i>writing</i>, not as a drill in penmanship, but for the purpose of calling -attention to the form of the word.</p> - -<p><b>Elements.</b> Spelling is a complex and difficult art and requires -(a) training in elementary sounds and their symbols, or phonic drill; -(b) training of eye and hand in forming the letters of a word, or -written spelling; (c) training of ear and voice in naming the letters -of a word, or oral spelling. Sound, form, and name of letters must -be inseparably associated, so that they will become necessary elements -in the vital combination of symbol and meaning in the word.</p> - -<p><b>Method.</b> In the method pursued the teacher writes <i>Sing.</i>, for -instance, upon the blackboard, with capital letter and period to indicate -that it is the expression of a complete thought. The teacher -then erases the word and requests the children to write it. Review -this word at the next lesson and add a new one. Next the teacher -writes <i>I can sing. Can you sing?</i>, and similar sentences, upon the -blackboard, and proceeds in the same manner. As the work progresses -the children should image a new sentence at each lesson, and<span class="pagenum" id="Page_19">[Pg 19]</span> -in addition should be able to write from dictation several review -sentences. In the early lessons the children should write at the -blackboard, or use unruled paper and soft lead pencils with dull -points. A clear image of the symbol will aid the child in writing it. -This makes it essential that the teacher write a legible hand.</p> - -<p><b>Word Drill.</b> Drill upon the words learned is necessary to -mechanize ear, voice, eye, and hand in the reading process so that -the child may be left free to attend to the subject-matter. Have -the children pronounce, write, and spell the unfamiliar words -found in the reading lesson. Insist upon exact pronunciation and a -natural, pleasing modulation of the voice. Later the children should -use these same words in spoken and written sentences. After children -have learned the names of the letters, both oral and written -spelling should be used, since they are correlative processes. Oral -spelling often deepens the impression and makes the image more -permanent.</p> - - -<p class="center sa2 sb2">THE ALPHABET.</p> - -<p>The alphabet should be taught in serial order, because of its use -in reading card catalogs, dictionaries, etc. The alphabet characters -have been learned in the phonic drill by associating the sounds with -the letters as the children require them to master words, but not -consecutively. The A B C's, however, in their old-fashioned -significance, should be a part of the child's knowledge when he -enters the second grade.</p> - - -<p class="center sa2 sb2">SUMMARY.</p> - -<p>In the process of learning to read, certain elements are brought -together and associated in vital organic unity in accordance with -broad general principles. These the teacher must keep constantly -<span class="pagenum" id="Page_20">[Pg 20]</span> -in mind if she is to succeed. Reading, like all language, is a combination -of thought and symbol. The thought gives the meaning -and is the <i>reason</i> for reading, while the symbol is only the tool and -instrument of the thought. Care must be taken to see (a) that the -child forms clear images of what he is reading; and (b) that he obeys -the fundamental law of mind of proceeding from wholes to parts. -By holding these principles in full view and giving the thought -element the leading place, the symbol and phonic elements will fall -into their proper place in accomplishing the purpose of elementary -reading, namely, the association of the symbol and its meaning in -a vital unity.</p> -<hr class="chap x-ebookmaker-drop"> - -<div class="chapter"> -<p><span class="pagenum" id="Page_21">[Pg 21]</span></p> - -<h2 class="nobreak" id="Part_II"><span class="smcap">Part II.</span></h2> -</div> - -<p class="center xlarge sa2 sb2">FIRST HALF YEAR:<br> -FIRST STEP.</p> - -<p>Two lines of work are to be developed at separate periods each day.</p> - -<table> -<tbody> - -<tr><td class="tdl"></td> -<td class="tdc">1.

The purpose of ear training is to familiarize the -child with the elementary sounds in the language, so that he may -have accurate sound images before associating them with the corresponding -symbols.</p> - -<p>2. Give the sounds of the letters, not the names. Teach the -letter-names later in the Phonic Lessons. Give the sounds softly but -distinctly. A loud, harsh voice makes purity of sound impossible.</p> - -<p>3. Cultivate the attentive ear in children. Teach them to hear, -and then to image, the song of the birds, the patter of the rain, the -sound of the wind, the hum of the bee, the puff of the locomotive -and other familiar sounds.</p> - -<p>4. The rhymes and poems are suggestive, not final. The -teacher may choose others if they better meet her need. Those selected -from song literature have a tone quality that will interest -children and prove helpful in training the ear. Read the poems -aloud in a well modulated voice, with clear articulation, that the -children may become sensitive to the beauty of the human voice.</p> - -<p>5. Ear training should precede the formal study of phonics for -a few weeks. The exact time required cannot be arbitrarily named, -because it depends not only upon the ability of the class but also -upon the teaching power of the one in charge. From six to eight -weeks, with daily periods ten or fifteen minutes in length, will accomplish -good results.</p> - -<p><span class="pagenum" id="Page_24">[Pg 24]</span></p> - - -<p class="center sa2">I.</p> - -<p>Consonant sounds are taught by phonic analysis of words, and -not by any artificial device. Ear training exercises are helpful as -a preparation for this work. Let the first sounding be done <i>by the -teacher</i> and have the children perform the actions as she slightly -separates the sound elements. In this way the ear soon becomes -accustomed to the formation of words from their phonic elements.</p> - -<p><i>Ex.</i>:</p> - -<table> -<tbody> - -<tr><td class="tdl"></td> -<td class="tdc">John may r-un.</td> -<td class="tdr"></td></tr> - -<tr><td class="tdl"></td> -<td class="tdc">Mary may j-ump.</td> -<td class="tdr"></td></tr> - -<tr><td class="tdl"></td> -<td class="tdc">You may h-op, Frank.</td> -<td class="tdr"></td></tr> - -<tr> - <td class="tdl" colspan="3"><hr class="dots"></td> -</tr> - -<tr><td class="tdl"></td> -<td class="tdc">Mary may bring me a b-ook.</td> -<td class="tdr"></td></tr> - -<tr><td class="tdl"></td> -<td class="tdc">John may put the b-ook on the t-able.</td> -<td class="tdr"></td></tr> - -<tr><td class="tdl"></td> -<td class="tdc">William, please bring the fl-ag.</td> -<td class="tdr"></td></tr> - -<tr><td class="tdl"></td> -<td class="tdc">Frank may wave the fl-ag.</td> -<td class="tdr"></td></tr> - -</tbody> -</table> - -<p><i><b>Caution.</b></i> There should be no abruptness about such an exercise. -The slight separation and the gentle prolonging are sufficient to -keep the children listening and interested. Avoid giving to separate -consonants, sounds which they do not possess.</p> - - -<p class="center sa2">II.</p> - -<p><b>Slow Pronunciation of Names.</b> Children are interested in their -own names; if they pronounce these slowly they will begin to distinguish -sounds. The teacher first pronounces her own name as the -children watch, making prominent the initial sound. She then calls -upon different children to pronounce their names. <i>Ex.</i>: A child -named Mary says: "My name is M-ary," emphasizing the sound -"M." Another says, "My name is R-obert," emphasizing the sound -"R," etc.</p> - -<p><span class="pagenum" id="Page_25">[Pg 25]</span></p> - - -<p class="center sa2">III.</p> - -<p><b>Singing Games.</b> The old-fashioned singing games, such as "Here -We Go Round the Mulberry Bush," "London Bridge," "Looby -Loo," etc., will delight the children and are excellent exercises for -ear training. (See <i>Folk Songs and Games</i> by Marie Ruef Hofer.)</p> - - -<p class="center sa2">IV.</p> - -<p><b>Phonic Game.</b> <i>What is it?</i> A child acts as leader and stands in -the front of the room.

There is no exact limit to the number of Preliminary Blackboard -Lessons that should be taught. Those given in the Manual -indicate the order of development, not the time. American children -will master the lessons given in from six to eight weeks. -Foreign children will require a little more time, since they must -learn to associate thought with both the spoken and the written -symbol.

The -method of presenting a rhyme is as follows:</p> - -<p>Have the children learn the rhyme by ear and repeat it aloud. -Write the rhyme <i>Two Little Blackbirds</i>, on the board. (See Primer, -page 23. In order that recognition may take place when the same -rhymes are seen in print, carefully copy the arrangement of the text -as found in the Primer.) Draw a pointer slowly under each line as -the children repeat the rhyme. Do this several times until they begin -to associate the spoken symbol with the written symbol. Children -will soon recognize the elements most prominent.</p> - -<p>After teaching the rhyme as a whole, analyze it into parts. -Write lines, phrases, and words in different places on the blackboard. -Have the children observe, image, and find these in the rhyme. <i>Ex.</i>: -<i>Two little blackbirds</i>; <i>upon a hill</i>; <i>one was named</i>; <i>fly away</i>; <i>come -again</i>.</p> - -<p>Ask a child to find all the words that are alike. <i>Ex.</i>: <i>Jack</i>; <i>Jill</i>; -<i>named</i>; <i>fly</i>; <i>come</i>; <i>again</i>; etc. Ask another child to find and name<span class="pagenum" id="Page_44">[Pg 44]</span> -all the words he knows. Let volunteers find lines, phrases, and -words called for by other children who see them. In some such -way as this every symbol can be brought to the child's consciousness.</p> - -<p>When the children are familiar with the words comprising the -rhyme they are ready to read sentences and stories using these same -words in new relations. Keep the rhyme on the blackboard for -reference. When in doubt about a word let the child find it himself -by repeating the rhyme until he reads that word.</p> - -<p class="sa2">A summary of the steps involved:</p> - -<div class="blockquot"> - -<p>1. Memorize the rhyme in order to acquire the thought.</p> - -<p>2. Associate this thought with the written symbols.</p> - -<p>3. Separate the rhyme into sentences, phrases, and words.</p> - -<p>4. Combine these parts in new wholes; that is, in new sentences -and stories.</p> -</div> - -<p>One essential principle in learning to read is that the thought shall -be familiar and interesting. The purpose of the elementary reading -lesson is to associate old thought with a new symbol.</p> - -<p>This same rhyme may be modified and used as a game. Select -two children with blue ribbons, dresses, suits, or neckties, to impersonate -bluebirds. Substitute their names and write the rhyme on -the board as follows:</p> - -<table><tbody> - -<tr><td class="tdl"></td> -<td class="tdc">Two little bluebirds</td> -<td class="tdr"></td></tr> - -<tr><td class="tdl"></td> -<td class="tdc">Sat upon a hill,</td> -<td class="tdr"></td></tr> - -<tr><td class="tdl"></td> -<td class="tdc">One was named Helen,</td> -<td class="tdr"></td></tr> - -<tr><td class="tdl"></td> -<td class="tdc">The other named Mary.</td> -<td class="tdr"></td></tr> - -<tr><td class="tdl"></td> -<td class="tdc"></td> -<td class="tdr"></td></tr> - -<tr><td class="tdl"></td> -<td class="tdc">Fly away, Helen,</td> -<td class="tdr"></td></tr> - -<tr><td class="tdl"></td> -<td class="tdc">Fly away, Mary.</td> -<td class="tdr"></td></tr> - -<tr><td class="tdl"></td> -<td class="tdc">Come again, Helen.</td> -<td class="tdr"></td></tr> - -<tr><td class="tdl"></td> -<td class="tdc">Come again, Mary.</td> -<td class="tdr"></td></tr> - -</tbody></table> - -<p><span class="pagenum" id="Page_45">[Pg 45]</span></p> - -<p>Have the two bluebirds read the words from the blackboard, run -to a corner of the room, and stoop down to dramatize the words -"sat upon a hill."
