Excerpt from A Child's Reader in Verse Tms book was written with a keen appreciation of the needs of the primary school. Its purpose is twofold: to furnish reading lessons, each word of which will hold the pupil's attention; to make each lesson convey a thought that is worth the teaching - a lesson that will develop character and mental strength. The lessons have been written in verse because children love rhythm and rime, and these therefore assist in securing their willing attention. The vocabulary has been kept strictly within the limita tions of the primary pupil; for, no matter what thoughts a lesson may contain, when it exceeds these limitations it is worthless to the child.

Verse and Prose for Beginners in Reading Selected from English and American Literature Horace Elisha Scudder The attentive reader of this little book will be apt to notice very soon that though its title is Verse and Prose for Beginners in Reading, the verse occupies nine tenths, the prose being confined to about two hundred proverbs and familiar sayings-some of them, indeed, in rhyme-scattered in groups throughout the book. The reason for this will be apparent as soon as one considers the end in view in the preparation of this compilation. The Riverside Primer and Reader, as stated in its Introduction, "is designed to serve as the sole text-book in reading required by a pupil. When he has mastered it he is ready to make the acquaintance of the world's literature in the English tongue." The agreeable task of the editor, therefore, was to search English and American literature for those poems which had fallen from the lips of poets with so sweet a cadence and in such simple notes that they would offer but slight difficulties to a child who had mastered the rudiments of reading. It was by no means necessary that such poems should have had an audience of children in mind nor have taken childhood for a subject, though it was natural that a few of the verses should prove to be suggested by some aspect of child-life. The selection must be its own advocate, but it may be worth while to point out that the plan of the book supposes an easy approach to the more serious poems by means of the light ditties of the nursery; that there is no more reason for depriving a child of honest fun in his verse than there is for condemning the child's elders to grave poetry exclusively; and that it is not necessary or even desirable for a poem to come at once within the reader's comprehension. To take an extreme case, Tennyson's lines "Break, Break, Break!" would no doubt be ruled out of such a book as this by many in sympathy with children; yet the unexplainable power of the poem is not beyond the apprehension of sensitive natures at an early age. The contents have been gleaned from a number of sources, and the editor is glad to mingle with the names of the secure dwellers on Parnassus those of some living Americans and Englishmen. He does not pretend that he has made an exhaustive collection, but he hopes the book may be regarded as the nucleus for an anthology which cannot, in the nature of things, be very large. The prose, as already intimated, is confined to groups of proverbs and familiar sayings. In one aspect these single lines of prose present difficulties to the young reader: they are condensed forms of expression, even though the words may be simple; but they offer the convenient small change of intellectual currency which it is well for one to be supplied with at an early stage of one's journey, and they afford to the teacher a capital opportunity for conversational and other exercises. To treat a poem as a mere quarry out of which a particularly smooth stone can be chipped is to misinterpret poetry. A poem is a statue, not a quarry.

The connection between childhood and poetry runs deep. And yet, poetry written for children has been neglected by criticism and resists prevailing theories of children's literature. Drawing on Walter Ong's theory of orality and on Iain McGilChrist's work on brain function, this book develops a new theoretical framework for the study of children's poetry. From Tongue to Text argues that the poem is a multimodal form that exists in the borderlands between the world of experience and the world of language and between orality and literacy – places that children themselves inhabit. Engaging with a wide range of poetry from nursery rhymes and Christina Rossetti to Michael Rosen and Carol Ann Duffy, Debbie Pullinger demonstrates how these 'tactful' works are shaped by the dynamics of orality and textuality.

Excerpt from Days and Deeds: A Book Verse for Children's Reading and Speaking The attempt has been made to gather together in this volume the really significant poetry relating to American holidays and to great Americans, especially such as is suited for recitation. To this has been added a short anthology of the seasons, and some eight or ten lyrics with which every one ought to be familiar, and which did not fall under any of the other headings. It is inevitable that in a collection of this sort, nearly every reader will miss some personal favorites. The question of length has excluded a number of such sterling poems as "Grandmother's Story of Bunker-Hill Battle" and "How Old Brown Took Harper's Ferry," which were put aside regretfully only after it became apparent that their inclusion would stretch the volume beyond the utmost limit allowed for it. Indeed, at the end, it became necessary to sacrifice many well-loved poems; and this, it may be added, the compilers found by far the most trying part of their task. Still it is believed that the collection will be found fairly complete, especially with the use of the cross-references which are given. The genesis of the volume was in the never-ceasing demand at an Ohio library for poetry suited for holiday and special exercises in the schools, and the primary object in undertaking it was to substitute really worthy verse for the rhymes and jingles usually offered children. No pretence is made, of course, that everything included here is good poetry - indeed, in several instances, selections which are not poetry at all absolutely demanded admission because of peculiar appropriateness - but, as a whole, it is hoped that the volume will be found elevating, stimulating, and inspiring.
