Excerpt from A First Reader for New American Citizens: Conversational and Reading Lessons The purpose of this book is to teach foreigners how to understand, speak, and read the English language in as short a time as possible. The book is intended to be used as a preparatory text to "The New American Citizen." The first part of this text is devoted to conversational English, - how to ask and answer simple questions that are used in school, at home, and at work. In observing work in different classes, I find that pupils have been taught so that they are able to read, but they cannot answer a simple question in English. The first step in teaching English to foreigners is to make them understand and answer questions that arise in school, at home, and at work. Therefore, the aim of the book is to develop conversational power primarily, reading power secondarily. With this end in view the first half of this book has been developed. The method to be used by the teacher is the Object Method. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

"The teacher using this book can teach by any method which he may prefer ; but the experience of many years has convinced us that a judicious combination of the word and phonic methods is the best. It makes the shortest step from the known to the unknown ; it makes the pupil independent of the aid of the teacher sooner than any other. As a preparation for the reading-exercises, we would provoke the children to use in conversation the new words which are to be found at the head of each reading-lesson ; from which words, again, we would derive the new sounds which are about to claim special notice in the succeeding lesson or lessons."--page 1.
