THIRD YEAR GRADE 



In this grade the teacher reads many if not all of the stories 

 and poems, so that the words of the writer become familiar 

 to the children. Easy narration by the teacher, to vivify or 

 to simplify the words of the author, is made supplementary 

 to the reading. The pupils should now be reading many 

 stories for themselves, for they should be appreciating and 

 using the power gained by their knowledge of the mechanics 

 of reading, and they should be learning how to get from 

 books the enjoyment that they have been receiving through 

 the lips of the teacher.
