The Elson Readers Book Four

About this book

Book Four serves as a transitional book for children moving from "learning to read" to "reading to learn" as Elson put it. It eases the child from the early "picture books" to the advanced books filled with more complete and increasingly complex literature. Book Four is divided into five thematic sections and introduces the reader perhaps for the first time to the stories of Beowulf Sigurd and Roland and other great works of Western literature.
