What reading level is A New Discovery of the Old Art of Teaching School book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:

, "Let his in- struction be an amusement to him; let him be ques- tioned and praised; but never let him feel pleased that he does not know a thing. Sometimes, if he is unwill- ing to learn, let another be taught before him whom he may emulate. " Quintilian has the same, though perhaps stronger feeling with regard to slow- witted children (Cf. Also Ascham). Quintilian has great misgivings with regard to precocious talent; it rarely comes to fruit. In this connection he utters words which are a s...earching criticism of the effects of some of the school-exercises of the present day. Speaking of children who do little things easily, and show at once their powers and their limitations, he says, "They string words together, uttering them with an intrepid countenance, not in the least dismayed by bashfulness. They do little, but do it readily. There (6?) not any way discouraged, though they cannot make so good performance of their task as the rest of their fellowes.
8 On Mundayes, Wednesdayes and Fri- Time-table dayes they may say two lessons in a forenoon, and two in an afternoon; and onTuesdayes and Thursdayes in the forenoons they may also say two lessons; but on Tuesdayes and Thursdayes in the afternoons, and on Satur- day morning I would have the time spent in examineing, and directing how to spell and read at sight, and hearing them say the Graces, Prayers, and Psalms, and especially the Lords Prayer, the Creed, and the Ten Commandments (which are for that purpose set down in the New Primar) very perfectly by heart.
