Special Method in Primary Reading and Oral Work with Stories

"Special Method in Primary Reading and Oral Work with Stories" by Charles A. McMurry is an educational resource advocating for the use of storytelling and reading techniques in early education. It underscores how crucial oral storytelling is to strengthening reading abilities and argues that literature should be introduced to kids through captivating narratives to support their thinking skills and inner growth. The text makes the case that kids are naturally drawn to stories, which increases their attention and learning potential. The author thinks storytelling should start at home and continue in schools, where it enables young children to completely connect with literature before mastering reading on their own.
