The Elson Readers: Book Five

by william elson Author

(From Amazon): Book Five is the first volume devoted to helping the student ?read to learn? as opposed to ?learn to read,? a subtle, but important, distinction. The ?picture books? are left behind, and the reader is introduced to a world made of words. Illustrations play a diminishing role, while the literature itself is emphasized. Understanding the meaning of the stories and poetry is the emphasis from this volume through the last, Book Eight.
