,little ,mary 7or any other little girl or boy7 knows all the letters perfectly1 let the teacher turn over a page and pronounce one of the mono-syllables4 ,do not say a1 m1 am--but say am at once1 and point to the word4 ,when the child knows that word1 then point to the next1 and say as1 and be sure to follow the same plan throughout the book4 ,spelling lessons may be taught at a more advanced age2 but it will be found that a young child will learn to read much more quickly if they be dispensed with in the ,primer4 ,in words of more than one syllable1 it is best to pronounce each syllable separately1 car1 pet1--po1 ker1--and so on4 ,in the lesson on ,things in the ,room1 point out each thing as the child reads the word1 and indeed1 wherever you can1 try to associate the word with its actual meaning4 ,show a child the word coach as a coach goes past1 and she will recollect that word again for ever4 ,in the ,lesson on the ,senses1 make the child understand how to feel cold and heat1 by touching a piece of cold iron or marble1 and by holding the hand to the fire1--how to smell1 to hear1 to see1 and to taste4 ,in the ,lesson on ,colours1 be sure to show each colour as it is read2 and endeavour to make every ,lesson as interesting as you can4 ,never weary a child with long lessons4 ,the little poem at the end is intended to be read to the child frequently1 that she may gradually learn it by heart4 ,j4,c4 99 99 99 99 99 ,a a ,b b ,c c ,d d ,e e ,f f ,g g ,h h ,i i ,j j ,k k ,l l ,m m ,n n ,o o ,p p ,q q ,r r ,s s ,t t ,u u ,v v ,w w ,x x ,y y ,z z ,f ,n ,w ,b ,e ,h
