ENTERED AT STATIONERS' HALL, LONDON, ENGLAND. All rights reserved. EDUCATION DEFTt INSTRUCTIONS TO TEACHERS THE use of this book should not begin till the fifty sight-words given below have been thoroughly learned. During this " First Stage," three lines of work are to be separately practiced every day: 1. Sight Reading from sight-word cards and from blackboard. . 2. Drill on Phonograms. 3. Ear Training. 1. Sight Reading. Begin with blackboard, using script characters only. Teach the following sight- words : A, all, am, an, and, any, are, at, can, come, do, does, down, eat, Frank, give, go, has, have, he, here, him, I, in, is, it, -Jack, let, like, may, me, no, not, oh, old, on, see, she, take, tell, the, to, us, water, we, what, where, will, yes, you. Use the words in sentences from the beginning. Do not use the sentences found in the book ; and, the better to avoid doing so, work up the words in a somewhat different order from that in which they are presented in the book. For fuller instruc- tions, suggested drills, etc., see Manual of Instruction. 2. Drill on Phonograms. This is a preparation for phonetic reading. To be effective, it must be thorough. The material used is the Initial Stock of phonograms, comprising f, 1, m, n, r, s, a, e, o, ing, ings, ight, ights, ail, ails, ill, ills. The drill on this stock must begin when the first blackboard work begins and continue without intermission. See Manual of Instruction. 3. Ear Training. This, also, is a preparation for phonetic reading. It should begin at the very commencement of the term and be practiced daily. With brisk work, five minutes a day should suffice for it. See Manual of Instruction. II During the " Second Stage " of the work, three lines are to be separately practiced every day: j^ I 4 INSTRUCTIONS TO TEACHERS 1. Sight Reading from cards, blackboard, and Primer. 2. Drill on the Phonograms. 3. Drill on the Blend. 1. Book Reading. The words in the preceding list having been thoroughly taught, and read in black- board sentences, the book itself next comes into use. The pictures occurring among the words in the sentences are to be read as words ; e.g., Jack is a //^ J$ > will be read by the child, "Jack is a rabbit." Where colored pictures are used, teach the child to read the color of the picture as well. If, for example, the picture of a red wagon be used, as on page 17, the child will say, " See, May ! A red wagon ! " The drill on sight-words previously learned and the teaching of new sight-words from the following list must be continuous, the new words being taught at the rate of from eight to ten a week : Apple, big, boy, by, cow, dear, did, drink, fly, for, full, goes, good, hear, her, his, little, look, make, milk, much, my, of, one, or, out, our, over, pail, play, pretty, run, shall, sing, some, sugar, sweet, that, them, then, there, they, too, under, up, walk, want, well, with, your. For instructions for changing from script to print, etc., see Manual of Instruction. 2. Drill on the Phonograms. This will proceed as before, the cards being the means employed; but now the print side will be used as well as the script side. See Manual. 3. Drill on the Blend. This consists in the reading of single phonetic words. It combines practice on the individual phonograms, with the ear training prescribed for the " First Stage " of the work, separate oral exercises for the latter being no longer used. The material employed is found in Phonetic List No. 1 in the Manual; said list being arranged in sections according to the difficulty of the words presented. Ill During the " Third Stage," four lines of work are to be separately practiced every day: 1. Reading from the Primer, Part II. 2. Drill on the Phonograms. 3. Drill on the Blend. 4. Continued Drill on Sight- words. ADDITIONAL PRIMER. PAET I. READING BY THE WORD METHOD. THE RUNAWAY. The See see Can can 1. See! 2. See the V^fTU 3. Can the see? ^m^ 4. The can see. 5. See the J^. 6.
