ERIC ED623661: Child-Library Readers: Book Four. The Elson Extension Series

The "Child-Library Readers, Book Four," is planned to provide abundant material, rich in interest, for extending the literature course of the fourth grade. Schools using "The Elson Readers, Book Four," will appreciate the total absence of duplicated selections in the present volume. Moreover, the fresh, unhackneyed nature of the literature insures a minimum of duplicated material if this book is used to extend the reading course of any basal text. The authors believe that a school reader should be of high literary value, to develop in children a love for literature of distinction. In selecting and organizing this material they have kept clearly in mind the need for training pupils in efficient habits of silent reading. The literature selected, while uniformly of high quality, and strong in story-element, contains a considerable quantity of material that is rich in factual content, both interesting and useful. A full explanation of the plan for silent reading is given on pages 5 and 6. [For "The Elson Extension Series. Child-Library Readers: Book Three," see ED623660.]
