The plan of the Reading Tablets is altogether original. Concrete and familiar forms are presented to the young readers, by means of which they quickly distinguish the words standing for the objects.
All the lessons are based upon the concrete forms as found in Tablets Nos. 4, 5, 6, 7. New words, as conjunctions and prepositions, when first introduced into the lesson, are underlined to attract the readers' attention. Children acquire the art of reading intelligently, as the lessons are based upon subjects familiar to their daily experience.
