Excerpt from Second Reader

Moreover, in common with the preceding books of the Series, the Second Reader avoids hindrances to progress; treats phonic work as a means, not as an end; aims to avoid over-analysis, the excessive use of diacritical marks, and the fatal substitution of word-getting for true reading.

The form of literature? Rbest adapted to the Second Reader stage is, as every one agrees, the story. This may be either prose or poetry; short or long;' fable, anecdote, or fairy tale; fact or fancy; but it must be a well knit whole with its parts in due relation; and it must obea true, vivid, and interesting picture of life, - life as it appears, or should appear, to the eyes of childhood. It is' of such stories that the reading mate rial in this book chiefly consists.
