威廉·H·爱尔森，出生于美国俄亥俄州卡洛尔，毕业于美国印第安纳大学。作为一位教师与教育管理者，他在教育改革方面做出了很大贡献。1907年他建立了美国首所技术高中。此外，他还是一位有名的教材编写者，除本套教材外，他编写了多套美国学校使用的现代教材。这些教材除美国外，在优选34个国家销售使用，累计销量超过5000万册。

《Basic Readers》是美国现代时期一套广泛使用的标准化英语阅读课本，在美国学校一直使用到20 世纪70 年代。《美国学校现代英语阅读教材》由芝加哥大学阅读研究专家、世界阅读学会首任会长威廉·格雷教授与著名教材专家威廉·爱尔森共同编写。从选文篇幅、词汇难度、故事内容、课后练习、插图使用等方面，编者都做了精心考量。《美国学校现代英语阅读教材》以综合培养学生的朗读（oral reading）与默读（silent
reading）技巧为目的，让孩子们学会阅读，并通过阅读为今后的人生阶段打下基础。对中国孩子来讲，这是一套循序渐进地进行英语阅读训练的优秀读本。适合从学前阶段开始，向小学和中学阶段扩展训练。
本册为第六级，相较前几册难度较大，但是通过正文中加注的单词解释，以及逐级学习的积累，也可以很好地理解书中故事所要传达的内容。同时提供配套英文朗读免费下载，让孩子在阅读精彩故事的同时亦能更好练习英语发音。
 
This set of textbook
readers was used in the schools of the United States till 1970s. It was the
first reading series to enforce strict vocabulary control over selections.
William S. Gray, a renowned educational psychologist and reading authority from
the University of Chicago became a senior co-author with William H. Elson in
creating this series.
The authors have
attempted to provide an interesting, purposeful, and comprehensive reading course
for children. To achieve this purpose the authors have assembled materials from
the worldwide field of children’s favorite readings. Thus basic reading
attitudes and habits are developed through the purposeful use of interesting
and significant content. Using this series of readers, the children can learn
to read first, and then read to learn in their future life.
