STORIES FOR CHILDREN
=TWO LITTLE RUNAWAYS= (_Just Published_)
Adapted and revised by MELVIN HIX and WALTER L. HERVEY. Illustrated.
95 pp. 30 cents.
Snappy and Spitfire are a dog and a cat who become dissatisfied with
their surroundings and decide to run away. Their various adventures
make an amusing and interesting book for children. It was designed
particularly to be used at that important stage when children are ready
to begin the independent practice of the most delightful of all arts,
the art of finding stories in books. The simplicity of plot and general
content are admirably suited to the needs and abilities of six-year-old
readers.
INDIAN SKETCHES
By CORNELIA STEKETEE HULST. Illustrated. 120 pages. 60 cents.
New material, drawn from the beautiful and heroic stories of the
Northwest Territory, has been worked up with the aim of presenting
the Indian in a much pleasanter and fairer light than is usual in
literature. Social and racial customs, the dances of the various
seasons, etc., are described. Parents and teachers of younger children
will find these “Sketches” interesting and historically accurate.
IN OLDEST ENGLAND
By GEORGE PHILIP KRAPP. Illustrated. 173 pp. 60 cents.
A collection of well-chosen stories which represent old English life.
Tales of adventure, accounts of battles, vivid descriptions of their
homes and dress, all serve to make real this distant period. The story
of the beginnings of the English people up to the Norman Conquest is
given, and the heroic characters of those times are brought to view in
a setting altogether new.
THE MAGIC SPEECH FLOWER
By MELVIN HIX. Illustrated. 179 pp. 35 cents.
This is the story of a little boy who was kind to animals, and, because
of his goodness to them, gained the power to understand and to speak
the speech of the animal folk. Thus he hears from them all about their
habits and they tell him many interesting legends of the woods. Most of
the stories are new and they are told in simple language which can be
read by children of eight or nine years of age.
HISTORICAL PLAYS OF COLONIAL DAYS
By LOUISE E. TUCKER and ESTELLE L. RYAN. Twenty-six plays. With
full-page Frontispiece. 163 pp. 65 cents.
This book makes history real by lifting it into a dramatic presentation
faithfully reproducing people and events in colonial times in America.
It teaches history in its pleasantest form. All of the plays have been
acted over and over again by children nine or ten years old. They also
immensely enjoy reading the plays without acting. The average time
required to give each of the plays is about fifteen minutes.

LEARNING TO READ
BY THE
Story Telling System
“Every primary teacher should be able to tell a story to children
effectively; this is an accomplishment almost indispensable in her art.
If you, as a teacher, have never told a story, begin at once.” Thus
write the authors of
The Aldine Readers
in
“LEARNING TO READ”
A Manual for Teachers
Rhymes, introduced by appropriate stories, furnish the most effective
means of acquiring an initial stock of “sight words.”
The story with which the teacher introduces each rhyme is not a mere
device for making a hard task easy for the child.
The story _does_ serve this purpose, but it does much more than that.
It arouses the child’s interest; it attracts and hold the child’s
attention; it stimulates and directs the child’s thought; in short, the
told story does for the child what the printed story must do later. By
teaching the child to listen well, the teacher is preparing him to read
well.
Story tellers use the Aldine Method, because learning to read in
this way appeals to the child as a real pleasure; he enters upon the
undertaking with the enthusiasm of his play and recreation.
=Do YOU use the ALDINE METHOD OF READING?=
If not the publishers will welcome an opportunity to tell you all about
it.
