INTRODUCTION
GRADED READINGS is a collection of graded letters and short stories and
articles designed to supplement the GREGG SHORTHAND MANUAL. It is espe-
cially adapted for use in Junior high schools and with classes of younger students,
though it is believed that the book will meet the requirements of any shorthand
class, and that it will add value, interest and variety to the work.
Shorthand teachers have long recognized the need for simple, interesting
well-graded reading material which could be used from the very beginning of
the svork. GRADED READINGS will meet tlu's need.
The material on the first three lessons consists of short paragraphs. Simple
letters are introduced in Lesson Four, and Lessons Four and Five are a com-
bination of shorthand paragraphs and easy letters. The material on Lessons
Six to Ten inclusive is made up wholly of easy business letters. In Lesson
Eleven simple literary matter is introduced, and the material from this point
on through Lesson Twenty is a combination of business, letters and literary
matter.
There are six pages of shorthand on each lesson in the MANUAL. The short-
hand plates on the first five lessons are written in a large, bold style, as it is
believed that this is much easier for beginners to read, as the forms stand out
much more clearly and consequently make a deeper and more lasting impres-
sion. Smaller notes have been used from Lesson Six on to familiarize the stu-
dent with the proper writing size.
The material on the first lessons is necessarily very simple in character on
account of the limited vocabulary. The introduction of shorthand in the
grades and in Junior high schools has created a demand for some material of
-s* this kind and older students will readily understand the necessity and the
- advantage of simple, connected matter in the early stages of tho work.
Names and addresses are introduced in some of the letters in Lesson Four, and
KT from Lesson Seven on the names of states arc used. As the shorthand form in
.Sr most cases follows the longhand abbreviation, students will have no difficulty
^ in reading these state names and their introduction, makes it possible to assign
the letters for exercises in transcription and arrangement as soon as the students
are far enough advanced in typewriting to do the work.

INTRODUCTION
The method in which this book is used must be determined by the needs oi
the class and the time at the teacher's disposal. In some schools it will be used
as supplementary reading work, one period a week being devoted to it. It maybe used either for sight reading or assigned as home work for class reading and
dictation material. The material will be found well adapted for blackboard
dictation, either as new or practiced matter.
In classes where the conditions make possible little or no outside preparation,
GRADED READINGS will be particularly welcomed by the teacher, as it is ia these
classes that it is difficult to hold the pupils' interest and to show them that they
are progressing from day to day. It is always a great source of encouragement
to students to find that they are able to read fluently, and particularly that
they are able to read and write simple letters and simple connected matter
long before they have completed their study of the principles.
Some teachers believe that more can be accomplished in both reading and
writing shorthand by having students do much reading and little writing
practice during the first few weeks. Correct forms are firmly fixed through
reading. The simple characters are memorized and the rules for joining them
become familiar to the students by seeing them applied in many simple words.
The exponents of the theory believe that when students begin to write after
a few weeks they do so readily, and that their initial writing is much better
both in style and in theory. This method of course necessitates a period of
intensive writing drill when writing is once begun.
Sample pages of GRADED READINGS have been used in the public schools in
Columbus, Ohio, and in Oakland, California, with classes of young students
with gratifying results. They have been used with older pupils in the Bush-
wick and Julia Richman High Schools and in the War Emergency Courses,
New York City, and in Gregg School, Chicago. We believe that the completed
book will find a place of its own in classes in Gregg Shorthand and that its use
will mean more rapid development in both the reading and the writing ability
of shorthand students.
The selections on commercial products are based on "Industrial-Commercial
Geography of the United States," by L. C. Rusmisel (The A. N. Palmer Com-
pany) , and the sketches of the lives of prominent Americans on material found
in "The Makers of Our History." by John T. Faris (Ginn and Company).The fables used from Lesson Eleven on were adapted from ^Esop's
Fables. Acknowledgment is also due Mrs. J. P. Peterson, Humboldt College,
Minneapolis, Minnesota, for "A Vacation Trip," on which the geographical
drill in Lesson Twenty is based.
