Excerpt from Sheldon's Primary Language Lessons This book presents a series of elementary inductive lessons designed to secure facility in oral and written Speech, and arranged to lead naturally to the study of grammatical relations. To assist pupils in overcoming mechanical difficulties, a few memory lessons are introduced. By copying, and by writing from dictation, passages in prose and verse, children soon learn to indicate the larger divisions of thought by paragraphs, and to apply the simpler rules for punctuation and the use of capitals.
