It is not expected that the teacher's plan will include an exhaustive study of all the facts and objects suggested. But it is absolutely necessary that the children should have some clear and general notion of the meaning of the words used, so that their reading will be intelligent, the words truly representing ideas to their minds. The accompanying lessons are intended to suggest and illustrate types of lessons which should accompany lessons in reading, whenever the pupil's knowledge is so limited as to hinder the process of thought getting. It should not be forgotten that the teacher must be the best judge as to the best selection of subjects for her own class. Further, the teacher will recognize that any of these lessons may serve to reënforce her teaching in language, drawing, or nature study, as well as reading.
