"Graded Memory Selections" by Various is a collection of literary excerpts and poems arranged for educational purposes, likely compiled in the early 20th century.

The selections range widely in thematic content, reflecting on childhood, nature, and morality, making it a resource for enhancing young students' understanding of language and expression. The beginning of "Graded Memory Selections" introduces the compilers' intention to merge education with culture, emphasizing that mere facts do not equate to a well-rounded education. The preface discusses the importance of incorporating meaningful literary works that will nurture children's moral and aesthetic sensibilities. This collection is structured by grade level, featuring poems suitable for children from primary grades to high school, with selections from various authors aimed at fostering a positive and thoughtful mindset in readers. The early examples offered set the stage for this notion, with themes of love, nature, and the innocence of childhood being prevalent.
