About This Book

A practical manual lays out aims and organization for secondary-school English, treating reading and composition as mutually reinforcing purposes. It presents concrete classroom procedures: theme writing, correction and filing of papers, teacher conferences, oral composition, rhetorical principles, and textbook use. Reading instruction receives guidance on methods, aloud practice, selection of texts, and library reading. The author outlines year-by-year work—grammar, rhetoric, literature genres, and progressive composition exercises—provides a detailed outline for studying composition and style, and ends with a selective bibliography of resources for teachers.
