Book Description
Excerpt from Vital English First Book Elementary Composition The authors have chosen the title Vital English advisedly. The primary aim has been to make the work alive - close to the real needs of the youth of the present day. Added to this constant appeal to the interests of the children is the method of presentation. A clear, logical development of units of thought, with an abundance of illustrative and drill exercises, makes the progress steady and the knowledge thus acquired usable and cumulative. Only the most important and absolutely essential units of thought have been selected for study. Some of the newer phases of thought which are more and more coming to be recognized as having a place in the study of English have been used in the series of lessons on "Community Helpers" and "Dramatizing." A helpful correlation with history, geography, science, and other related school subjects is shown in the lessons on "How Books Came to Be" and "Lessons from Nature." In brief, we aim 1. To appeal to the vital, essential interests of children. 2. To develop units of thought in clear, logical order. 3. To provide ample material for study or for written exercises.
