The subject matter is well graduated, and includes from the first book simple and entertaining lessons on Nature. The object throughout the series has been to encourage the observing faculties of the children. The conversational style is largely introduced, without being obtrusive. The Word-building Exercises are thoroughly graduated, and simple Outline Drawings (white on black) are introduced. These are all illustrative of the text, and should encourage “Drawing from Memory.”
The Introductory Reader is written to meet a long-felt want in Infant Schools, viz., a book suitable for the more advanced children in the 1st Class, and at the same time preparatory to Standard I.

The special feature of these Books is that, even from the most elementary grade, they possess the interest which a connected narrative, however simple in wording, seldom fails to excite; and by this means make the reading-lesson a pleasure instead of a dull piece of routine.
