ABSTRACT
Small wooden tables; metal insets, outline drawings, coloured pencils. The metal insets are in dimension and form a reproduction of the series of plane geometric insets in wood already described. The exercise of filling in one figure alone, causes the child to perform repeatedly the movement of manipulation which would be necessary to fill ten copy-book pages with vertical strokes. Cards upon which the single letters of the alphabet are mounted in sandpaper; larger cards containing groups of the same letters. In teaching the letters of the alphabet, the authors begin with the vowels and proceed to the consonants, pronouncing the sound, not the name. The Didactic Material for the lessons in reading consists in slips of paper or cards upon which are written in clear, large script, words and phrases. In addition to these cards the authors have a great variety of toys.
