Excerpt from The Progressive Road to Reading: Introductory Book Four The paramount necessity in the teaching of reading to children is to secure, and at the same time to sustain, the pupil's active interest in the content of the story material being read. To this end the thought must be couched as largely as possible in language that is simple, direct, forceful, and dramatic. The child mind does not easily tolerate side incidents in any story.
