What reading level is Your Negro Neighbor book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Grammar and reading and spelling, however, are apparent. Little by little the teacher becomes aware of something more fundamental — the lack of any adequate background for appreciation and culture. No time had the mother at the washtub or in the field for Cinderella or 52 YOUR NEGRO NEIGHBOR Mother Goose, and the childhood that should have been enriched by lines from Longfellow or Tennyson or the Bible was nodded away by the fire. Youth that craved adventure and inspiration found re- lief from ...the deadening routine of the week only in the coarse pleasure of the railroad on Sundays, or the big-meeting that came once a year. A gymnasium, a library, or an art museum the young man coming up to the academy in the city never saw in his life. Such a background makes neither for accuracy in technical training nor for the foundation of the larger reaches of cul- ture. Within recent years the problem has been even more complicated by the in- adequate school facilities in the cities. As the population has shifted from the rural districts to the larger towns, congestion in the schools has resulted, and the lack of an adequate number of seats and the system of half-day sessions have fre- quently resulted only in the semblance of thorough and efficient training.
