About learning to read.
Here's a pretty gay book, full of verses to sing,
But Lucy cant't read it; oh! what a sad thing!
And such funny stories—and pictures too—look:
I am glad I can read such a beautiful book.
But Lucy cant't read it; oh! what a sad thing!
And such funny stories—and pictures too—look:
I am glad I can read such a beautiful book.
But come, little Lucy, now what do you say,
Shall I begin teaching you pretty great A?
And then all the letters that stand in a row,
That you may be able to read it, you know?
Shall I begin teaching you pretty great A?
And then all the letters that stand in a row,
That you may be able to read it, you know?
13
A great many children have no good mamma,
To teach them to read, and poor children they are;
But Lucy shall learn all her letters to tell,
And I hope by and by she will read very well.
To teach them to read, and poor children they are;
But Lucy shall learn all her letters to tell,
And I hope by and by she will read very well.
