Preface
Vorwort
The flattering success of McGuffey's Revised Readers, and the inquiry for more primary reading matter to be used in the first year of school work, have induced the Publishers to prepare a REVISED PRIMER, which may be used to precede the First Reader of any well arranged series.
Der erfreuliche Erfolg von McGuffeys Überarbeiteten Lesebüchern und die Nachfrage nach weiterem Lesematerial für Anfänger, das im ersten Schuljahr verwendet werden soll, haben die Verleger dazu veranlasst, ein ÜBERARBEITETES ERSTLESEBUCH vorzubereiten, das dem Ersten Lesebuch jeder gut geordneten Reihe vorangestellt werden kann.
The method pursued is the same as that in McGuffey's Revised Readers, and the greatest possible care has been taken to insure a gradation suited to the youngest children.
Die verfolgte Methode ist dieselbe wie in McGuffeys Überarbeiteten Lesebüchern, und es wurde größtmögliche Sorgfalt darauf verwendet, eine Abstufung zu gewährleisten, die den jüngsten Kindern angemessen ist.
Only about six new words are to be mastered in each lesson.
In jeder Lektion sind nur etwa sechs neue Wörter zu erlernen.
