THE HEATH READERS
A new series, that excels in its
- Interesting and well graded lessons.
- Masterpieces of English and American literature.
- Beautiful and appropriate illustrations.
- Clear and legible printing.
- Durable and handsome binding.
- Adaptation to the needs of modern schools.
The HEATH READERS enable teachers, whether they have much or little knowledge of the art, to teach children to read intelligently and to read aloud intelligibly. They do this without waste of time or effort, and at the same time that the books aid pupils in acquiring skill in reading, they present material which is in itself worth reading.
The purpose of the HEATH READERS is, first, to enable beginners to master the mechanical difficulties of reading successfully and in the shortest time; second, to develop the imagination and cultivate a taste for the best literature; third, to appeal to those motives that lead to right conduct, industry, courage, patriotism, and loyalty to duty. The larger purpose is, briefly, to aid in developing an appreciation of that which is of most worth in life and literature.
The series contains seven books, as follows:
| Primer, 128 pages, 25 cents. | Fourth Reader, 320 pages, 45 cents. |
| First Reader, 130 pages, 25 cents. | Fifth Reader, 352 pages, 50 cents. |
| Second Reader, 176 pages, 35 cents. | Sixth Reader, 352 pages, 50 cents. |
| Third Reader, 256 pages, 40 cents. |
