The Famous Santa Rosa Reproduction Stories

Four True Stories of Life and Adventure By Jessie R. Smith Columbus Captain John Smith Captain Miles Standish Benjamin Franklin ONE VOLUME :: LARGE, CLEAR TYPE :: CLOTH BINDING :: 86 CENTS NET :: By Mail 50 CENTS A Book to be read by Children and not to them For second year reading

A BOOK OF SUCH INTENSE INTEREST THAT THE PUPIL'S ATTENTION IS CONSTANTLY INVITED TO THE STORY RATHER THAN THE FORM OF PRINT

RAPIDITY in learning to read depends upon the quickness with which the child's attention shall be drawn to the substance by which the process is made more or less an unconscious one. The method of this book's production has been as follows: The story was first related to pupils from seven to nine years of age, in the best form possible. Some days later, reproductions, both oral and written, were called for. These reproductions (many hundred in number) formed the material for most careful study as to essential elements of plot, salient points of interest, and especially the words and forms of expressions used by children. By this means the story has been reconstructed. Portions over which the children love to linger are brought out to the fullest extent. Their words and forms of language, within the limits of grammatical usage, are followed scrupulously. Less than seven hundred and fifty words, all of the commonest use among children, are used in the entire series.

Without attempting to formulate any principles or a philosophy of children's interests, the author has simply sought to draw the material from the child itself.

These stories, in typewritten and mimeograph form, were used in the schools of Santa Rosa, Cal., for many months, and in their present form are the product of much revision.

"It may be safely said that in these stories there is a drawing power for the child that is assurance that a resonant chord in the child nature has been struck."—Frederick Burk, Clark Univ.
