Excerpt from Everyday Classics: Fifth Reader This series of Readers has been prepared in the belief that the instruction in reading in the schools should be based on a selection of the classics of our literature. The child is introduced not only to what is excellent in itself but to what his father and mother have read before him, to what has become a valued part of the heritage of the nation and the race. All other school reading should be supplementary to this study of what is best in literature. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from The Fifth Reader Perhaps the most important book that falls into the hands of a child is his School Reader. Its manifold themes tend to open various channels of thought; its style of expression impresses itself upon the pupils mind, and has an influence to mould his forms of speech and writing; the compositions themselves are stored in his memory to recur a thousand times in after life, - the more dear for being associated with the cherished scenes of childhood; and, most of all, the sentiments inculcated become inevitably a part of his moral consciousness. His rules of life, his springs of action in times which test his integrity or try his virtue, are in very many instances traceable to the seed which took root in his heart from the lessons in his School Reader. But these or any other desirable ends to be derived from such a book imply, of course, that its selections shall be of the right stamp. Not alone must they inculcate wholesome truths, but they must do this in a genial, attractive way. We must interest the pupil in order to benefit him. A pitiful martyrdom is endured by teachers and scholars where weary hours are spent in endeavoring to make children comprehend abstractions fit only for the mind of a Bacon, or to urge them through intricacies of style which might bewilder a Johnson. If "wisdom's ways are ways of pleasantness," as we surely believe, that cannot be the wisest course which proves irksome and repulsive. With these convictions, the endeavor has been made to compile a book which should, first of all, be pure and ennobling in its moral influence; and next, one which should be both profitable and enjoyable. An elaborate theoretical treatise, with set rules for reading, might have been included in the Introduction, but long experience and observation have convinced the compiler that such things are of little practical value in the school-room, and are generally unused by the most successful teachers. No number of abstract definitions, no amount of mere theory, ever changed a poor reader to a good one. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from The American School Readers: Fifth Reader It is not enough for children in the higher grades merely to read lessons in a reader. They should readunderstandingly and sympathetically, and should have their eyes opened more and more to the finer qualities of good literature. The authors believe that the use of this Fifth Reader will greatly help to this desirable end. The book, however, is not heavy, and the literature is not, like that of many fifth readers, beyond the com prehension of children. The questions for study are not learned and discouraging; on the contrary they are stimulating and suggestive, and will add to the pleasure of the reading. The authors beg leave gratefully to acknowledge the valuable criticism of the manuscript by Professor Charles W. Kent of the University of Virginia.

Excerpt from Child Classics: The Fifth Reader When a community takes upon itself the responsibility of teaching its children to read it should assume at the same time that greater re sponsibility of teaching them what to read. A series of school readers designed to teach the art of reading should therefore carry in its pages that which will train in the choice of reading. The cultivation of.
