How do you teach a six-year-old to read? Charles McMurry's answer begins with stories told aloud. His primary-method handbook treats oral work, story sequences, and first reading lessons as one connected craft, with the fairy tale doing serious labor. A Normal School classic for teachers curious about the older methods. Borrow a century of classroom wisdom.

Every copy includes a printable PDF edition, a beautifully typeset book you can print, mark up in the margins, and keep on your shelf. Yours the moment you own it.
