PRIMARY READING. II.
By William Noctlinrj.
Reading is thinking not word calling.
No child can read faster than it can
think, hence slow thinkers are slow
readers slow in learning to read.
Slow pupils and quick pupils should
not be classed together in school work
A pupil may, too, be slower id one
subject than in another. All the organs
and parts of a child's body do not
grow and develop with equal rapidity.
While some parts are almost at a
stand-still, others are advancing.
Marked differences in both mental
and physical development are found
in members of the same family. Some
children grow at a regular rate in
height, or seem to do so, until full
stature has been reached ; others
grow for a while, then a period of
arrest rets in, or sometimes several
such periods occur, before the whole
stature has been attained.
Some people attain their full height
much later than others. It must not,
however, be supposed that all growth
shares that of the halt of height.
While one part or organ seems to rest,
as before stated, others n re developing.
The different parts of the brain do
not in all individuals complete their
growth together, hence the differences
of mental development in children.
Some learn rapidly in everything,
others enough so in perhaps one or
two subjects, but slowly in others, and
1
those of a third class are slow in every
thing.
Heredity, too, is not an insignia
cant factor in mental growth. This
fact is, however, usually over looked
when children's progress is under con
sideration. Age alone is supposed to
be the proper gauge. Few parents, no
matter how slow or dull their children
may be, are willing to admit that they
are inferior in mental grasp to the
best. This is ignorance that it is diffi
cult to dispel. Unfortunately this igno
rance is not confined to parents or
patrons of the schools, but too many
teachers seem incapable of under
standing why all pupils of the same
age or class do not make the same
progress. It is not an uncommon
thing to hear teachers ask. " How
much arithmetic should a child of
eight years, for example, know ? How
well should it be able to read ? How
many words should it be able to spell ?
How well should it be able to write ?"
Would it share much less knowledge
of child psychology and of pedagogics
to ask how tall such a child should
be? What it should mtasure across
the shoulders ? How much it should
weigh ? How fast it should be able to
talk, walk, or run ?
What can be expected of the aver
age parent in a subject of which
teachers know so little? Parents, in
deed, are excusable ; they have enough
on their hands if they keep up with
the progress of their own vocation j
but what palliation can teachers claim
for ignorance on a subject of such
vital importance to the intelligent
prosecution of their calling as that of
the re'ation of physical to mental
development ?
If every child of the same age does
not advance with equal step, the
blame is placed to the credit of the
teacher or her method. Yet every one
who has had opportunities to observe
the differences in progress of child
ren during their early school years,
cannot have failed to notice marked
difference in their advancement, some
learning as much in one year as others
in four, rive, or even more
Differences in the rote of develop
ment are not limited to the early years
of life. The same thing is found in
persons of mature years. It is true
that sometimes two or even more are
found of at least seemingly equal
mental nenetration and physical skill
but these do not constitute the rule ;
thev are the exceptions. The rule is
difference, variety: and it is high
time that both teachers a.id parents
take note of it and stop expecting im
possibilities-forcibly distorting nature
v.u fn.in.r to make levels where no
conditions have been provided for
them.
THE WORD METHOD.
With whom this method originated,
or whether it originated with several
persons, neither knowing anything of
the other, is not
known. If my memory is not at fault,
there was a statement in the Pennsyl
vania School Journal some years ago
that the method had been used by a
teacher in the Keystone State as
early as 1824. But the credit of
both discovering and publishing the
method is by general agreement be
lieved to belong to J.Russell Webb,
a teacher at the time (1846) at Water
town, New Vork. This method be
gins with reading, not like the alpha
betic, with pronunciation.. As its name
implies, it begins with words. The
child comes to school with quite a
vocabulary, which jt has learned in
the natural way, by associating the
names of objects, qualities, and ac
tions with the objects, qualities, and
actions themselves. Not only ha3 it a
large stock of words thus in store,
but, more than this, the idioms, ne
cessary to express its thoughts in the
sphere of life in which it moves. It
has acquired thoughts as fast as it
needed them ; no faster. It has not
been required to lay in stock a num.
ber of incomprehensible thoughts and
expressions that might come into use
ex-
presses in spoken word3. It under
stands the thoughts of others when
spoken, and when within the li.nits of
its experience. Iti natural for it to
speak its thoughts and to compre. end
those of otheis when spoken. A
spoken word is a representative of an
idea, of a thought procesi, and when
heard, to bj apperceived, m-ist creato
or call into consciousness, its appro
priate concept
Before entering school the child
learned to associate the names of
things with the things themselves t in
other words, it learned the names of
things, and when it heard the names,
it pictured to itself the things for which
they stand. Upon entering school this
process is simply extended it now
associates the name with the written
or printed word, and either calls up
the other, if the association is com
plete. Now the visible word also talis
into consciousness the idea or con
cept, and thus there is scarcely a
break in the natural way of learning.
This method, too, accords with the
well recognized pedagogic principle,
not to add difficulties to those which
the child necessarily meets.
As will be seen by those versed in
the study of mental activities, this
method i3 strictly psychological. It is
natural to go from the spoken word
to the written ; it is going directly and
in the most direct manner to the end
aimed at, namely reading. No matter
by what method the first steps in read
ing are taught, it mil t ultimately
come to words. This being incontro
"MM
vertible, it follows that it is logically
as well as pedagogically correct to
begin with them.
Spelling is taught in connection
with this method by requiring all the
early reading lessons to be copied,
and later, when it believed not to
interfere with reading, words of the
reading lessons are dictated to be
spelled orally and in writing.
1 heoretically it would seem that
children taught by the pure word-
method could not help themselves to
the pronunciation of new words, but
practically they do so. They notice
resemblances of word formations and
of correspondences of sounds, or pro
nunciation. It is however true that
this method does not furnish a direct
clue to pronunciation
