Excerpt from The New Beacon Primer

The New Beacon Primer is a simple reader, based upon the child's interests and the vocabulary of the home.

The power' derived from a knowledge of phonics has always been admitted by educators, but the stilted and mechanical readers of the past did much to throw dis credit upon any strictly phonetic system. The author of the New Beacon Primer has avoided expressions that are obviously dragged in for their phonetic value, and while he has provided constant opportunities for practice in the text, there is no sacrifice of unity or of dramatic interest. This is made possible by his method of organization.

Underlying the science of phonics are a few principles which are so vital and so essential to successful teaching that the first instruction given to the child should be in strict accordance with them. The Beacon system follows the deductions of those who have made a Special study of the science of speech and the practice of our great English dictionaries. Teachers may therefore feel confident that they are working in harmony with the leading authorities on the subject.
