Journeys Through Bookland, Vol. 10: The Guide

A practical guide for parents and teachers presenting a graded plan to introduce young readers to classic literature through selections, study helps, and illustrative material. It explains how to use pictures, nursery rhymes, and stories to teach reading skills, memorization, and character development, and offers techniques for telling stories and effective reading aloud. Chapters provide methods for close reading and analysis of fiction and poetry, discussion of figures of speech and literary forms, and model lessons linking literature with history, geography, and nature study. The volume also supplies recitation outlines, dramatization ideas, author sketches, pronunciation vocabularies, graded studies, supplementary book lists, and indexes for classroom use.
