The sole purpose of this book is to help the children to learn to read. While it may ultimately lead to the acquisition of knowledge concerning many subjects, its present aim is only to make reading easy. The lessons are, therefore, on subjects familiar to every child. The words are such as children habitually use in conversation; they are introduced gradually, and as a rule are repeated many times. Since proficiency in reading is best attained by much practice, care has been taken to present as large an amount as possible of interesting matter which the child can readily master. Every line is for the pupil to read. The stories are so constructed as to encourage and secure naturalness of expression without the intervention of rules or formal drills. The gradation both in thought and in expression is easy and natural.
Although the learning of words by much repetition and familiarity with their forms is an essential feature of this book, its foundation is nevertheless phonetic. Yet, for the sake of leaving it perfectly adaptable to any method of teaching, the phonetic basis has not been emphasized. The systematic introduction of words which may serve as key-words for the acquisition of others containing similar phonetic elements has been carefully observed, and it is believed that this is the natural method untrammeled by any artificial classification.
As further aids toward making the child's first reading lessons easy, the sentences are short. There are no broken lines in the first hundred pages. Indentations help the young reader to keep the place. There are no interfering illustrations in the text. Each story is complete without turning a leaf.
Grateful acknowledgments are extended to Miss Frances Lilian Taylor of Galesburg, Illinois, to Mr. W. J. Button of Chicago, and to Miss Matilda Mitchell, primary teacher, Phillips Brooks School, Boston, for valuable suggestions and assistance.
As stated on the preceding page, the foundation of this work is phonetic. The author believes that children may profitably learn many words without reference to their phonetic composition, and that among these certain key-words should be selected from which the elementary sounds of the language may be developed. These elements will give the pupils the power of acquiring new words. For example, observe the following key-words and the sounds developed from them:—
| Page 5, | flag; | teach f, l, ă, g. |
| Page 7, | fan; | teach n. |
| Page 8, | can; | teach c. |
| Page 10, | has; | teach h, s̝. |
| Page 10, | get; | teach ĕ, t. |
| Page 12, | cap; | teach p. |
| Page 13, | drum; | teach d, r, ŭ. |
| Page 14, | am; | teach m. |
| Page 15, | not; | teach ŏ. |
| Page 15, | big; | teach b, ĭ. |
| Page 16, | see; | teach s, ē. |
| Page 17, | ball; | teach a̤. |
| Page 17, | play; | teach ā. |
| Page 18, | jump; | teach j. |
| Page 19, | bird; | teach ĩ. |
| Page 19, | fly; | teach ȳ = ī. |
| Page 21, | wall; | teach w. |
| Page 24, | good; | teach oo. |
| Page 25, | with; | teach th. |
| Page 31, | some; | teach ȯ. |
Observe the great number of easy and common words that may be developed from the sounds thus learned from the first ten key-words named above. The list includes an, as, ran, had, pan, man, tan, let, met, pet, bet, men, pen, fig, did, bit, little, not, lot, got, hot, log, and a great many more. Similar key-words emphasizing the remaining sounds should be selected as the work proceeds. Teachers preferring to introduce the sounds less rapidly, may teach these first words as words and select others later in the book to serve as key-words. The blackboard should be in constant use, and the pupils' ingenuity in forming new words and new sentences should be tested at every recitation. The few exercises in script given at the beginning of the book are suggestive of the manner in which much additional drill in reading may be presented on the blackboard. The diacritical marks should not be taught to the children.

winter summer sleds bring were
One morning in winter Grace heard
her mother calling her.
"Come here, Grace! Come here, and
look out of the window."
Grace ran to the window and looked
out. What do you think she saw?
The snow was falling.
The ground was white with snow.
"Oh, mother," said Grace, "how pretty
it is! Everything is white with snow.
Where does the snow come from?"
"It falls from the clouds," said her
mother. "In summer the clouds bring
rain. In winter they bring snow."
At school the boys and girls were glad.
"It snows! It snows!" they said.
"Now we shall have a fine time.
We can make snowballs.
We can ride on our sleds.
We can play in the snow."

frozen bare sunny South
One morning Marian looked out of
her window. The snow was falling.
"How cold the wind blows," she said.
"The trees are all frozen and bare.
The brook is frozen over.
The pretty robin's nest is full of snow.
There are no birds in the woods. Where
do the birds go when winter comes?"
"They fly to the sunny South, where
the snow does not come," said Robert.
"They will come back to us in the
spring. They will sing glad songs and
build new nests."
Out in the snow a little bird was hopping.
"See, Robert, see!" said Marian.
"That little bird did not fly to the sunny South.
"How cold it must be! Its little feet must be frozen."
"That is a snowbird," said Robert.
"It likes the snow. It does not mind the cold. It stays here all winter."
story heard horn corn meadow
"Oh, Ned," said Rose one day, "what
do you think I have? It is a new story
book.
Father gave it to me this morning.
I have been reading in it."
"It is a pretty book," said Ned. "Are there any good stories in it?"
"Oh, yes. One story is about a little boy who went to sleep in the meadow.
I don't know what his name was, but they called him Little Boy Blue.
He took care of the sheep and the cows. He had a horn to blow.
The sheep and the cows would come when they heard the horn."
"Here is the story, now. And here is the picture of Little Boy Blue.
farm farmer helps been
Robert lives on a farm.
His father is a farmer.
Robert helps his father.
He helps take care of the chickens and the lambs.
Sometimes he drives the cows to the meadow.
Sometimes he drives them home at night.
"Where are the cows, Robert?"
"I think they are in the meadow."
"Will you not drive them home? It is time to milk them."
"Yes, father, I will bring them home. I like to drive them.
I will take the dog with me.
Come, Don. You know how to drive the cows.
You may come with me.
There they are by the meadow brook.
See, they are drinking from the brook.
Drive them, Don! Drive them home.
There they go! What a fine thing it is to live on a farm!"
Frank seen never would
city street river tools
Frank lives in the city.
He has never seen a farm.
He has never seen a brook.
He has never heard the robins singing in the tree tops.
A river runs by the city. Sometimes Frank goes down to the river to see the
boats and ships.
Sometimes he plays in the street by his home.
The street is not a good place to play.
Frank has many playthings, and he is as happy as any farmer boy.
He would not be happy on a farm.
seasons autumn gone warm green
Winter has gone. Spring has come.
There is no snow on the ground now.
The days are warm and bright. The sun is high in the sky.
Soon the ground will be green with grass.
There are wild flowers in the woods now.
All the birds have come back from the South.
The robin is here. He is building a nest in the old tree.
Soon there will be some little blue eggs in the nest.
The old owl did not go South. But he is glad that spring has come.
goat
fox
buzz
Five goats were in a field.
There they found green grass to eat, and good water to drink.
[Pg 117]
At night the farmer's boy and his little sister came to drive them home.
One night the goats wanted to stay in the field.
The little girl ran after them. But she could not drive them out.
"Now I will try," said the boy.
So the boy ran after the goats. But they would not go out for him.
Just then a dog came by.
"Let me try," said the dog.
"I have more legs than a boy. I can run faster."
He ran after the goats.
He barked and barked. But the goats would not go out of the field.
Soon a fox came to see what the dog was doing.
[Pg 118]
"Let me try," he said. "I know more than a dog, and I can run fast."
The fox ran after the goats. But he could not drive them out of the field.
"Let me try," said a horse that was looking on. "I am big and strong."
But the goats would not go out for the horse.
A busy bee came into the field.
"Buzz! buzz!" it said. "I think I can drive them out. Let me try."
"What can you do? You are too little to drive goats," said the boy.
"You are smaller than I am," said the little girl.
"You can not bark," said the dog.
"You don't know much," said the fox.
[Pg 119]
"You can't run round the field on four feet," said the horse.
"Buzz, buzz, buzz!" said the bee.
"We will see; we will see;" and away it flew.
It flew by the big goat's ear.
"Buzz, buzz, buzz!" it said.
The goat looked up. "What is that?" he said; and he ran out of the field.
The little goat looked up. "If you go out, I will go out," he said; and out he ran.
"So will I. So will I. So will I," said the three white goats; and all ran out of the field.
Then the boy and his sister drove the goats home.
"If the bee had not helped us, what could we have done?" they said.
butter cream bread churn
dish pans fresh turns
Do you know how I make butter? I will tell you.
Every day the cows give us fresh milk.
Ned brings the milk to the house.
I have some large tin pans. At night I put the fresh milk in these pans.
In the morning I find yellow cream on the top of the milk.
Then I take off the cream and put it in my churn.
I churn and churn till the cream turns to butter.
I take the butter out.
I leave the buttermilk in the churn.
Here is one of my butter balls.
It is on a little dish.
Bennie and Marian like butter.
They like bread and milk, too.
All boys and girls eat bread.
Do you like bread and butter?
Most of these words are also included in the word lists at the heads of the various Lessons. Some regularly formed derivatives are omitted.

collection. Despite these efforts, Project Gutenberg-tm electronic
works, and the medium on which they may be stored, may contain
"Defects," such as, but not limited to, incomplete, inaccurate or
corrupt data, transcription errors, a copyright or other intellectual
property infringement, a defective or damaged disk or other medium, a
computer virus, or computer codes that damage or cannot be read by
your equipment.

fees. YOU AGREE THAT YOU HAVE NO REMEDIES FOR NEGLIGENCE, STRICT
LIABILITY, BREACH OF WARRANTY OR BREACH OF CONTRACT EXCEPT THOSE
PROVIDED IN PARAGRAPH 1.F.3. YOU AGREE THAT THE FOUNDATION, THE

written explanation to the person you received the work from. If you
received the work on a physical medium, you must return the medium with
your written explanation. The person or entity that provided you with
the defective work may elect to provide a replacement copy in lieu of a

Project Gutenberg-tm work, and (c) any Defect you cause.
Section 2. Information about the Mission of Project Gutenberg-tm
Project Gutenberg-tm is synonymous with the free distribution of
electronic works in formats readable by the widest variety of computers
including obsolete, old, middle-aged and new computers. It exists
because of the efforts of hundreds of volunteers and donations from
people in all walks of life.
Volunteers and financial support to provide volunteers with the
assistance they need are critical to reaching Project Gutenberg-tm's
goals and ensuring that the Project Gutenberg-tm collection will
remain freely available for generations to come. In 2001, the Project
Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation was created to provide a secure
and permanent future for Project Gutenberg-tm and future generations.

Section 4. Information about Donations to the Project Gutenberg
Literary Archive Foundation
Project Gutenberg-tm depends upon and cannot survive without wide
spread public support and donations to carry out its mission of
increasing the number of public domain and licensed works that can be
freely distributed in machine readable form accessible by the widest
array of equipment including outdated equipment. Many small donations
($1 to $5,000) are particularly important to maintaining tax exempt
status with the IRS.
The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating
charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United
States. Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a
considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and keep up
with these requirements. We do not solicit donations in locations
where we have not received written confirmation of compliance. To
SEND DONATIONS or determine the status of compliance for any
particular state visit www.gutenberg.org/donate
While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where we
have not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no prohibition
against accepting unsolicited donations from donors in such states who
approach us with offers to donate.
International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make
any statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from
outside the United States. U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff.
Please check the Project Gutenberg Web pages for current donation
methods and addresses. Donations are accepted in a number of other
ways including checks, online payments and credit card donations.

Section 5. General Information About Project Gutenberg-tm electronic
works.
Professor Michael S. Hart was the originator of the Project Gutenberg-tm
concept of a library of electronic works that could be freely shared
with anyone. For forty years, he produced and distributed Project
Gutenberg-tm eBooks with only a loose network of volunteer support.
Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks are often created from several printed
editions, all of which are confirmed as Public Domain in the U.S.
unless a copyright notice is included. Thus, we do not necessarily
keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper edition.
Most people start at our Web site which has the main PG search facility:
www.gutenberg.org
This Web site includes information about Project Gutenberg-tm,
including how to make donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary
Archive Foundation, how to help produce our new eBooks, and how to
subscribe to our email newsletter to hear about new eBooks.
