The book is designed for young students in schools, aiming to help them develop reading skills through a variety of lessons and stories. It focuses on making reading engaging and accessible for children, featuring tales, fables, and lessons that encourage understanding and comprehension rather than rote memorization. The opening of the book introduces the author’s address to the pupil, where he emphasizes the importance of active listening and engagement in the learning process. Parker draws analogies between learning and nature, using examples like a mother bird feeding her chicks to illustrate how children should open their minds to absorb knowledge. He also discusses techniques for deciphering difficult words by breaking them down into manageable parts, reinforcing the idea that perseverance and active participation are key to becoming a competent reader. Overall, the beginning establishes a nurturing and practical approach to education, setting the tone for a reader-friendly learning experience.
