The child possesses the ideas, and is able to give expression to them; we must get from him this expression, and then in turn give him the written expression of the same thoughts. Since it is necessary that the child should get himself into an appreciative state Of mind before he can read with real expression, he must be led by appropriate conversation and other means into the state of mind to be expressed, before he under takes to read aloud.

These he will read, and the new words which are introduced apart from sentences will immediately be put into sentences.
