DIRECTIONS FOR THE MASTERS AND MISTRESSES.

I. Let the child pronounce every syllable articulately: that is, clearly, distinctly, and fully. For this purpose let him open his mouth freely.

II. Let his voice be soft and gentle, not loud or boister

ous.

III. Let him read slowly and deliberately, carefully observing every stop, and every emphatical word.

IV. Let him relieve his voice at every stop; at the same time support his voice steadily and firmly, and pronounce the concluding words of the period with force and vivacity.

V. Let him begin gently, slide over every insignificant particle; such as and, but, if, or, as, so, &c. and reserve the stress of his voice for words of more importance. VI. Let the tone of his voice in reading be the same as it is in speaking. Let him not change the natural and easy sound, with which he speaks in conversation, for that formal and unnatural tone, which some people assume in reading.

VII. Let each lesson be read over and over, till the child be perfect in it, and able to read a line in a breath.
