Primary Language Lessons
by Emma Serl Author
(From Amazon): An experienced teacher of the early 20th century, Emma Serl used imaginative lessons and short, jargon-free instructions to make learning a pleasure. She made liberal use of writings by the literary giants of our English language heritage, as well as fables, folklore and maxims-the kinds of writing children should know if they are to become well-educated in our rich literary traditions.
