Présentation de l'éditeur

The child of the Fourth Reader grade has a vocabulary extensive enough to be able to understand the larger part of standard literature. As to his psychological development at this i)eriod, he is always deeply interested in such stories as the Greek and the Norse mythology contain. Much that is of value in the classical course of a college may be brought into the life of the child who never goes beyond the Fourth and Fifth Readers, if proper matter is introduced to him in the right way. The teacher should always bear in mind that the intense interest which is aroused by an absorbing story is of great value in enabling the child to come into possession of new and permanent additions to his vocabulary. For instance, John Ruskin sE%7ig of t Jie Golden River could never find a place in a reader for the fourth grade if only the difficulty of the words was considered, but the story will be found to be so absorbingly interesting as to admit the use of many words which, surrounded by a lesser interest, would prove too hard. In the process of experimentation which the selections in this Reader have undergone, it was the habit of the teacher in the preceding grades to UU t Tie stories in the course of regular work, so that, when the child was brought face to face with the task of reading the originals in the fourth grade, he welcomed the story as an old and dear friend. The difficulties vanished and the chief ends of the reading lessons the development of a taste for good literature, and the enlargement of the vocabulary were attained.
