INTRODUCTION

GRADED

READINGS is

a collection of

graded

letters and

short

stories

and

articles

designed

to

supplement

the

GREGG

SHORTHAND

MANUAL.

It

is

espe-

cially

adapted

for use

in Junior

high

schools

and with classes

of

younger

students,

though

it is believed

that

the

book

will

meet

the

requirements

of

any

shorthand

class,

and

that it

will

add

value,

interest and

variety

to the

work.

Shorthand

teachers

have

long

recognized the

need

for

simple, interesting

well-graded

reading

material

which

could be

used

from the

very beginning

of

the

svork.

GRADED

READINGS

will

meet tlu's need.

The material on

the

first three lessons

consists

of

short

paragraphs.

Simple

letters are

introduced in

Lesson

Four,

and

Lessons

Four

and

Five

are a

com-

bination of

shorthand

paragraphs

and

easy

letters. The material

on

Lessons

Six

to Ten inclusive is

made

up

wholly

of

easy

business letters.

In Lesson

Eleven

simple

literary

matter is

introduced,

and

the material

from

this

point

on

through

Lesson

Twenty

is

a combination

of business, letters

and

literary

matter.

There

are six

pages

of

shorthand on

each

lesson

in

the MANUAL.

The short-

hand

plates

on

the

first five lessons

are

written

in a

large,

bold

style,

as

it is

believed that this

is

much

easier

for

beginners

to

read,

as

the

forms

stand out

much

more

clearly

and

consequently

make a

deeper

and

more

lasting

impres-

sion. Smaller

notes

have

been used

from

Lesson

Six on

to

familiarize the

stu-

dent

with

the

proper

writing

size.

The

material

on

the

first

lessons

is

necessarily very

simple

in

character

on

account

of the

limited

vocabulary.

The

introduction of shorthand

in the

grades

and in Junior

high

schools has

created

a

demand

for

some

material

of

this

kind

and

older

students

will

readily

understand

the

necessity

and

the

advantage

of

simple,

connected

matter

in

the

early

stages

of

tho

work.

Names

and addresses

are

introduced in some

of

the letters in

Lesson

Four,

and

from Lesson Seven on

the

names of states arc used. As the

shorthand

form

in

most

cases follows

the

longhand abbreviation,

students

will

have no

difficulty

in

reading

these

state

names

and

their

introduction,

makes it

possible

to

assign

the

letters

for

exercises in

transcription

and

arrangement

as

soon

as the students

are

far

enough

advanced

in

typewriting

to do

the work.


8/134

INTRODUCTION

The

method in

which this book

is

used

must be determined

by

the

needs oi

the

class and

the

time at

the

teacher's

disposal.

In

some

schools

it

will

be

used

as

supplementary reading

work,

one

period

a

week

being

devoted to it.

It

may

be

used

either

for

sight reading

or

assigned

as home

work

for

class

reading

and

dictation material. The material

will

be

found well

adapted

for

blackboard

dictation,

either as new or

practiced

matter.

In classes where

the

conditions

make

possible

little

or no

outside

preparation,

GRADED READINGS will

be

particularly

welcomed

by

the

teacher,

as

it

is ia these

classes

that

it

is

difficult to

hold

the

pupils'

interest

and

to

show

them

that

they

are

progressing

from

day

to

day.

It

is

always

a

great

source of

encouragement

to

students

to

find

that

they

are

able

to read

fluently,

and

particularly

that

they

are

able

to

read

and

write

simple

letters

and

simple

connected matter

long

before

they

have

completed

their

study

of

the

principles.

Some

teachers

believe that more

can

be

accomplished

in both

reading

and

writing

shorthand

by

having

students do

much

reading

and little

writing

practice

during

the

first

few

weeks.

Correct forms are

firmly

fixed

through

reading.

The

simple

characters

are memorized and

the

rules for

joining

them

become familiar

to the

students

by seeing

them

applied

in

many

simple

words.

The

exponents

of the

theory

believe

that

when

students

begin

to

write

after

a few

weeks

they

do

so

readily,

and

that their initial

writing

is

much

better

both

in

style

and

in

theory.

This method of

course

necessitates

a

period

of

intensive

writing

drill when

writing

is

once

begun.

Sample

pages

of

GRADED

READINGS have been

used

in the

public

schools in

Columbus, Ohio,

and

in

Oakland,

California,

with

classes of

young

students

with

gratifying

results.

They

have

been

used

with

older

pupils

in

the

Bush-

wick and Julia Richman

High

Schools and in the War

Emergency

Courses,

New

York

City,

and in

Gregg

School, Chicago.

We believe

that

the

completed

book

will

find

a

place

of its own

in classes

in

Gregg

Shorthand and

that

its use

will

mean

more

rapid development

in both

the

reading

and

the

writing ability

of shorthand

students.

The

selections on

commercial

products

are

based

on

Industrial-Commercial

Geography

of

the

United

States,

by

L. C. Rusmisel

(The

A.

N.

Palmer

Com-

pany)

,

and

the

sketches of

the

lives of

prominent

Americans

on

material found

in

The

Makers

of

Our

History. by

John

T. Faris

(Ginn

and

Company).

The

fables

used

from

Lesson

Eleven

on

were adapted

from

^Esop's

Fables.

Acknowledgment

is also due

Mrs. J.

P.

Peterson,

Humboldt

College,

Minneapolis,

Minnesota,

for A

Vacation

Trip,

on

which

the

geographical

drill

in Lesson

Twenty

is

based.
