I dare say you would like to know what is in this book! Well I will tell you. Some books are for men, but this is for boys and girls, and I hope you will be soon' a-ble to read it quite well, and take it home with you to read at night. Do you want to know why. I have put the hard words at the top of the page? I want you, then, to learn these off by heart, so that when you read the book you will not have to stop and spell out the words, for I am sure you do not want to spell the words out if you can help it. And do you see, I have al-so put the hard words in the lines in nice bold print, so that your eye may be fixed on them, and then you will know them a-gain when you see them. |
