Elson-Runkel Primer (1914)

The Elson-Runkel Primer, written by William Harris Elson and published in 1914, is an educational book designed to teach young children the basics of reading and writing in the English language. The book is divided into several sections, each focusing on a different aspect of language learning. The first section introduces the alphabet and teaches children how to recognize and write each letter. The following sections cover phonics, vocabulary, and sentence structure, gradually building on the skills learned in previous chapters. The book also includes various exercises and activities to help children practice their reading and writing skills. The Elson-Runkel Primer is an important historical artifact in the field of education, as it was widely used in American schools during the early 20th century.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
