Excerpt from Blackboard Reading In teaching beginners to read, it is imperative that much t'me be spent in preparatory exercises upon the blackboard. These blackboard lessons are especially adapted to the needs of beginners, and should precede the work of a regular Primer or First Reader. Ali. Black board lessons should BE written, not printed. Never teach the beginners To print. Very few teachers can print so that the letters at all resemble the print of books and papers. What is far preferable to the teacher printing on the blackboard is the plan of having sight-word card drills. These cards, 5} x 81} inches, are made of heavy Manila paper, and can be obtained at any bindery. It is better to have the corners cut round. On one side of the card print the word with large rubber type, and on the other side write the word with either a rubber pen or black crayola.
