What’s inside
The Second Reader adds the articulation and punctuation exercises that continue through the rest of the series, then moves into longer stories and verse: Evening at Home, The Little Star, The Seven Sticks, The Kingbird. Word lists still open each lesson, but the passages now run to a page or two, and some lessons are set in script for handwriting practice.
- Seventy-one lessons in prose and poetry
- Articulation and punctuation drills for reading aloud
- Lessons set in script for handwriting practice
- Seventy-four wood engravings
