A First Reader

Vocabulary

Reading edition

Most of the words used in the Aldine Primer are used frequently in this First Reader. The Primer words are not listed in this vocabulary, however; here are given only the words used for the first time in this book.

The number at the left of a word refers to the page on which the story begins in which that word is first used. New words are listed in the text immediately before or after the lesson in which they are used; they are listed after the lesson when they occur in rhymes to be memorized (see Teacher’s Manual), before the lesson in all other cases. Words of series that have already been studied (see Teacher’s Manual) are not usually listed in the text, but are given in this vocabulary.
