Summary "Special Method in Primary Reading and Oral Work with Stories" by Charles A. McMurry is an educational guide focused on teaching reading and storytelling techniques in primary education, likely written in the early 20th century. This work emphasizes the importance of oral storytelling and its close relationship with developing reading skills, suggesting that introducing children to literature through engaging stories is crucial for their cognitive and emotional growth. The opening of the text outlines the fundamental reasoning behind the reliance on oral storytelling in early childhood education. McMurry passionately argues that children exhibit a natural attentiveness and enthusiasm for stories, which can significantly enhance their mental focus and learning capacities. He asserts that storytelling should begin at home and continue in schools, as the oral presentation of stories allows young children to engage fully with literature before they can read independently. By incorporating storytelling into primary education, McMurry believes teachers can cultivate a rich literary appreciation and cognitive flexibility among their students, setting a strong foundation for their future learning endeavors.
