I E R MONTREAL and TORONTO '■£//;9 JI^OQI I y.^T'R UCTOiilS, A nOPT THE METHOD to use from the y7rj/— whether the alpliabctic, or :i combination of the phonetic ami the alphabetic ; tliL' word system, the sentence system, a com- bination of tlie two. or a union of the best features of all. T//E AlI'IIABET w\. first should be taught with special reference to the illustrations, and not alphabetically. Commence with a famil- iar object — for example, a dog : direct the attention of the child to the picture ; then to the -i-wd pictuiw or printed word ; and then to the initiai letter of the word. In like manner, teach o in ('.v, audi,' in ;//«. Finally, show the child that (/. o. and ^<,' form the word dog-. Or, teach the alphabet in connection with the reviews, as dircctetl on jiage 20. The letters shoidd be taught alphabetically: but let this be done gradually and without special effort. The ReadIXCS, in large classes, should at first be printed on the blackboaril and there mastered. Then let each pupil read the lesson from the book. In following the word system, the instructor will first reail the sentences from the book, having only separate words printed on the boarti. After these are learned by the pupils, connected sentences will be read. In the sentence system entire sen- tences are first taught, and then the lists of words of which they are composed.

SADLIER, in the OfTice of the Minister of Agriculture and Statistics, at Ottawa. ^i^iij^jF icj':. f * I OUESTIOXS relating to the Character of Reading Lessons lor Beginners seem well- /-^•^i,^ nigh needless ; for it goes without saving that, as here given, tliey should tend from the first to secure the right religious bent with a gradual and svstematic mcntid development. Pari' First gives the Essentials of a Primer, including Object Lessons, and afiords like advantage for use with the Alphabetic or Phonetic Methods, (M- tiie \V(jrd or Sentence Systems. TiiE Ai riiABET is illustrated with twenty-six pic- tures of simple objects, uniform in si;7e, and the names of the objects are given both in common print and in W'rilicn CJiaractcrs. Some of the Readinirs are also printed /;/ Writing:;. Short Vowels only arc used in the Reading Les- sons, thus securing the utmost simi)licity by employ- ing a single sound for each letter and avoiding nearl)- aii silent letters and other inegularities. i TllJi!
