children4 ,only about six new words are to be mastered in each lesson4 ,these new words and the new elementary sounds are always to be found in the vocabulary of the lesson in which they are first used4 ,the plan of the book enables the teacher to pursue the ,phonic ,method1 the ,word ,method1 the ,alphabet ,method1 or any combination of these methods4 ,illustrations of the best character have been freely supplied1 and the skilled teacher will be able to use them to great advantage4 ,the script exercises throughout the book and the slate exercises at the close1 have been specially written and carefully engraved for this ,primer2 they may be used to teach the reading of script1 and as exercises in learning to write4 ,in the full confidence that the public will appreciate a cheap and attractive ,primer of this character1 the ,publishers have spared no expense to make this book equal1 in type1 paper1 and illustrations1 to any that have been issued from their ,press4 7iii7 ,,the
