IVhat This Book Can
Do For Your Child
Give your child the right start in learn-
ing to read. This book has been pre-
pared for just that purpose by Mrs.
Lilian Moore, Specialist in Reading.

The words have been carefully selected. The

child's own world — his home, his family, his
play-life —
has been woven into the presentation
of the key words. This enjoyment of the familiar
will at the same time contribute to the child's
success in reading when he goes to school.

If your child is ready to read — if he has begun

to receive reading instruction —
this book will be
most useful to him, because the 302 key words
in it appear with great frequency in first- and
second-grade readers.

As a parent, you know that your child learns

most readily when his interest is aroused; that
he learns most easily about the things with
which he has some experience; that he learns
most naturally through interesting repetition.
You will find that the author has faithfully ad-
hered to these basic principles in her fresh and
lively text.
