凡訓蒙，須講究，詳訓故，明句讀。爲學者，必有初，小學終，至四書。TrTranslation
凡訓蒙，須講究，詳訓故，明句讀。
Whoever teaches beginners must take care: explain the words in detail, and make clear where the sentences break.
爲學者，必有初，小學終，至四書。
Those who study must start at the beginning: finish the Elementary Learning, then go on to the Four Books.
Draft translation; it will be revised when the lecture is filmed.
Compared with Wang Xiang's edition
Group 32 凡訓蒙，須講究，詳訓故，明句讀。
Wang Xiang's edition writes 詁 for 故 (“meanings of words”); the two were used interchangeably.
From the Father's Lecture Notes
Before reading, two skills are needed: knowing what words mean, and knowing where a sentence breaks. Children today hardly have to learn either, since their textbooks come with notes and punctuation. So this lecture should let him see that someone did this work for him; it was not always there.
Translated from Yikonglu's Father's Lecture Notes for the Three Character Classic, written for a parent teaching a child.
