READING SLIPS. To be used in connection with The Children's Primer, or

 envelopes containing each twenty sentences, printed in large type on stiff 

 manilla paper. Introduction price, five cents per envelope. 



The Children's Primer is written especially for the children, 

 and, as one may say, with the children. It contains more reading- 

 matter, in proportion to the number of new words, than any other 

 book in the market. 



The sentences are short, childlike, and full of expression ; the 

 illustrations, not only artistic, but suggestive ; and the new words 

 are introduced so gradually and repeated so constantly that the 

 little ones are enabled to hold fast all they learn. 



The Children's First Reader is made for the second half-year, 

 it is a simple but steady growth in the same line with the Primer, 

 mid makes possible a real advance instead of a constant stopping 

 and beginning over again. 



The Children's Second Reader is written on the same general 

 plan of slow but steady progress manifested in the first books of 

 this series. 



Stories from the lives of Longfellow and Whittier form a con- 

 siderable share of its contents. These bear especially upon the 

 relation of the two poets to child-life, and are intended to awaken 

 a personal interest in them and their poems.
