What reading level is The Child And the Curriculum book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Interests in reality are but attitudes toward pos- sible experiences ; they are not achievements ; their worth is in the leverage they afford, not in the accomplishment they represent. To take the phenomena presented at a given age as in any way self-explanatory or self-con- tained is inevitably to result in indulgence and spoiling. Any power, whether of child or adult, is indulged when it is taken on its given and present level in consciousness. Its genu- ine meaning is in the propulsion it af...fords toward a higher level. It is just something to do with. Appealing to the interest upon the present plane means excitation ; it means play- ing with a power so as continually to stir it up without directing it toward definite achieve- ment. Continuous initiation, continuous start- ing of activities that do not arrive, is, for all practical purposes, as bad as the continual re- pression of initiative in conformity with sup- posed interests of some more perfect thought or will. It is as if the child were forever tast- ing and never eating ; always having his palate tickled upon the emotional side, but never getting the organic satisfaction that comes only with digestion of food and transforma- tion of it into working power.
