About this book
Legends, outdoor scenes, comic episodes and patriotic speeches share the pages of this reader for seventh-grade pupils. E. C. Hartwell groups the selections by theme, moving from pioneer life and special days to adventure, nature and passages from longer books. The contents include writing by Charles Dickens, Mark Twain, Jack London and William Wordsworth, with prose and verse offering different kinds of reading practice.
Hartwell's preface explains his interest in silent reading, discussion and cooperative classroom work. The study prompts show that approach in action: after a desert passage by A. W. Kinglake, pupils are asked to consider descriptions of the camel and sun and locate the route on a map. Readers today can explore the anthology for its range of literary extracts and its view of how reading lessons were linked with character and citizenship.
