Excerpt from The Progressive Road to Reading: Introductory Book Four

The paramount necessity in the teaching of reading to children is to secure, and at the same time to sustain, the pupil's active interest in the content of the story material being read. To this end the thought must be couched as largely as possible in language that is simple, direct, forceful, and dramatic.

The child mind does not easily tolerate side incidents in any story. For him these are vain digressions, because they have no direct bearing on the course of events. Every experienced story teller has learned to know that for the child a story must run straight and true, and that it must speedily reach its goal. There must be a hero, or a heroine, a complex situation leading' to a climax, and a happy solution of the problem. Nothing more is needed; nothing less Will do.
