Excerpt from Elson-Runkel Primer This book is based upon the belief that interesting material is the most important factor in learning to read; that the key note of interest is the story-element, the plot; and that the child's delight in the oral story should be utilized in the Very first steps of reading. This basis is the distinguishing feature of the Primer. In consequence, real stories, rich in dramatic action, have been chosen - stories which make use of the child's curiosity in what is going to happen next-stories which have a plot, a series of incidents, and an outcome; hence the child gets some where with his reading. The story element has been unfolded in such a way as to make each page a distinct unit. The primer lessons presuppose that the teacher has first told the children the fuller stories, as given in the Teachers' Manual which accompanies this book. While these oral stories will add greatly to the children's content and interest, nevertheless, the stories in the primer are complete units in themselves.
