BEGINNERS' BOOK IN LANGUAGE
H. JESCHKE
PREFACE
BEGINNERS' BOOK IN LANGUAGE [A] - 1. Study of a Picture Story[1]
2. Story-Telling
3. Making Stories Better
4. Study of a Poem
5. Story-Telling
6. Correct Usage—Saw
7. Study of a Fable
This textbook invites third‑grade pupils to move beyond shy, hesitant speech and discover a lively, confident voice both in conversation and on paper. By weaving everyday curiosities—fairies, animals, circus life—into a series of connected lessons, it turns language practice into playful storytelling and drama. The author believes that when children are genuinely interested, learning to form correct sentences becomes as natural as a game on the playground.
The book is organized into themed units such as a fairy adventure, an Indian tale, and a circus performance, each offering picture stories, role‑plays, punctuation drills, and simple letter‑writing tasks. Teachers find helpful cross‑references and notes that guide them in staging the activities, while students enjoy pantomime, group narration, and hands‑on book‑making exercises. The result is a classroom where oral and written English grow together, encouraging confidence and accuracy from the very first lesson.
