Excerpt from The Rose Primer There are never more than two new words on a page, only one hundred and ninety-eight in the book. These words are carefully repeated, most of them being used' ten or more times. Every new word is given in both script and print, and there are frequent script exercises for tracing and copying. The sentences are short and simple, and the construction is varied as much as possible, to avoid the formation of singsong and monotonous reading habits. The child, confronted by the least possible labor in word getting, can easily master these pages. On completing them he has acquired a small but serviceable vocabulary of common words, and can begin any well-graded first reader with ease and intelligence.
