Excerpt from A First Reader
IN this book the words are developed from the beginning, in order that pupils may have a definite list of words in mind from which to recall the sounds of letters. Words which pupils are not able to recall from previous work are at first taught as wholes, either from association with objects, pictures, or actions, or from the sentences in which they are used. Phonic drill, separate from the reading lesson, should be given for practice (1) in listening for sounds in spoken words; (2) in learn ing to recognize the printed letter representing the sound; and (3) in making the written form.
