Excerpt from Children's Classics in Dramatic Form, Vol. 4
Children are dramatic by nature. They are for the time the kings, the fairies, and the heroes that they picture in their imaginations. They are these characters with such abandon and with such intense pleasure that the ou-looker must believe that nature intended that they should give play to this dramatic instinct, not so much formally, with all the trappings of the man-made stage, but spontaneously and natu rally, as they talk and read. If this expressive in stinct can be utilized in the teaching of reading, we shall be able both to add greatly to the child's enjoy ment and to improve the quality of his oral reading.

Reseña del editor
This series ot books aims to serve three distinct purposes: first, to arouse a greater interest iu oral reading; second, to develop an expressive voice sadly lacking in the case of most A mericans; and third, to give freedom and grace in the bodily attitudes and movements which are involved in reading and speaking. The stories given cover a varied range of interests dramatic incidents in the lives of famous men and women and episodes of special significance from literature predominating. Children are dramatic by nature. They are for the time the kings, the fairies, and the heroes that they picture iu their imaginations. They are these characters with such abandon and with such intense pleasure that the on-looker must believe that nature intended that they should give play to this dramatic instinct, not so much formally, with all the trappings of the man-made stage, but spontaneously and naturally, as they talk and read. If this expressive instinct can be utilized in the teaching of reading, we shall be able both to add greatly to the childs enjoyment and to improve the quality of his oral reading.
