"The Ontario Readers: The High School Reader" is an educational anthology designed for use in public and high schools written in the late 19th century. This collection aims to support the teaching of reading through carefully selected literary passages, enabling students to cultivate their appreciation for literature and improve their oral reading skills. The selections span a range of genres and themes, reflecting the literary heritage of the English-speaking world. The opening of the book features a preface outlining its purpose and structure. It emphasizes the significance of reading from quality literature to enhance students' intellectual and emotional understanding. The introductory chapter discusses the essential qualities and techniques of effective reading, including voice culture, expression, and vocal interpretation. Furthermore, it highlights the importance of various elements such as pitch, rate, and intonation in conveying the intended meaning and emotional depth of texts, thereby preparing students for both oral and silent reading. This foundational premise sets the tone for the diverse selections that follow in this educational reader. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
