Learning the three R's (2nd ed.).

Abstract
The continued demand of teachers for up-to-date information concerning the newer trends in teaching reading, arithmetic, spelling, language, and, writing has necessitated revision of the earlier edition of Learning the Three R's. The keynote of this new edition is learning with understanding, the development of the principle that teaching the "three R's" is effective only when the child learns the skills meaningfully through purposeful experiences, instead of mechanically and without understanding. More space is given than in the earlier edition to the psychological processes involved in learning these skills. Methods of teaching the skills in connection with the unified program and curriculum units at all grade levels are indicated in each section. This book is not intended to be a complete treatise on how to teach the tool subjects, but to present the modern point of view and to indicate successful methods in this field. The interrelationship among all the skills in modern teaching makes considerable overlapping in the various sections inevitable, particularly with respect to the language arts. Any treatment of the skills separately tends to be somewhat artificial in view of the trend toward unified teaching in our schools. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2016 APA, all rights reserved)
