Excerpt from How to Teach Reading: A Manual for Teachers Using the Riverside Readers

Reading is one Of mankind's greatest delights, as well as a main source Of information. The Riverside Primer is written with the belief that the very first reading may give delight to the beginner, besides furnishing him much information about many interesting things in his ever-expanding world; that in his very first book the child Should find the game and the rhyme, the dolly and the drum, loving thoughts of home, appreciative glimpses Of the nature and community worlds surrounding him.

The approach to a reading lesson must focus the child's attention upon the central thought, helping him to find in the thought an expression of his own needs, desires, or interests. Unless he becomes seriously absorbed in the thought because Of this inherent interest, the lesson lacks that which is Of great est value, that which makes it really a reading lesson. Lessons in the Riverside Primer are SO closely related to child life that it is an easy matter to make a worthy approach; many lessons Offer a choice Of approaches; so that the teacher has an opportunity to vary her work as lessons are reviewed, or from year to year.
