Author:

and E. C. Wheeler, M.A. Cassell & Com- pany. 1/4.

This little book is specially designed for use as a teaching primer for older children who have difficulty in learning to read, and should be of great help to teachers in Special Schools and Retarded Classes.

The stories are based on experiences familiar to older children, e.g., ” A Railway Station,” ” A Scout and his Uniform,” ” My Electric Torch,” ” A Trip to the Seaside,” and there are a number of ” labelled pictures ” which explain the information given in the stories and which are bound to arouse the children’s interest. The book also contains test sentences and stories which are novel and stimulating. It is attractively produced with large clear type and on good paper.
