This guide for the teaching of English is offered on three levels for each grade, seven through twelve. The levels are basic (for pupils needing much practical and individual help), standard (for the majority of pupils), and advanced (for bright or gifted pupils). The guide includes teaching suggestions for composition, grammar, literature, spelling, and vocabulary. The proposed curriculum is flexible enough so that each teacher can exercise his own judgment in using it. In addition to specific exercises, the guide includes a recommended reading list for each unit, as well as a recommended reading list for college bound students. An appendix containing additional material on such topics as "tips for the beginning English teacher" and "knowing the library" and a short bibliography of curriculum guides and teaching manuals are also included.
