Excerpt from Five Messages: To Teachers of Primary Reading The thought taken up in this lesson was partly review and partly advance. That concerning the food was largely review, while that concerning the bed was advance. It is usually best to let the old and the new overlap in this manner. The review was not apparent so far as the pupils were concerned, for a new thought, the care of pets, had been introduced, which freshened and gave new meaning to a reconsideration of what they had already taken up under the guise of what pets like best to eat. The whole secret of successful review is here suggested. Teachers should not require pupils, merely for the sake of drill, to go over the very same thoughts two lessons in succession, for in so doing the class usually loses interest. Teachers should select, rather, closely related subjects for consecutive days, so that the new thought of one day will continue that of the preceding, thus naturally calling for a review of it, as in the case of the present lesson. The point, then, in here presenting this third lesson is to illustrate how such review may be accomplished.
