Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Werner Primer for Beginners in Reading
The werner primer is a growth. It is based upon the kindergarten idea as taught by Froebel. According to his teachings, lessons in form and color should precede lessons in general science. The rainbow colors in ?owers and fruits, and the sphere, cube and cylinder among type forms, furnish the most simple basis of classification for Observation work. These simple and clear ideas are especially suitable for the subject matter of the first reading lessons. Studies of plant and animal life follow naturally and these are closely related to the literature which is presented in story, song and fable. Again, the lessons put into practice the kindergarten doctrine that the hand helps the brain in acquiring knowledge. A variety Of occupations are pro vided, many of which will aid the child in learning to read and write.
This Primer outlines for the teacher's use all the work for the first term or half year including reading, writing, language, number, science, literature and occupations. Full instructions for the teacher's guidance are given in the Suggestions and in the notes. Accompanying each lesson.
