Reproduction of the "Original" published by Mott Media with a 1836 copyright. 5.5" x 8.75", Hardback. Retype set with recent printing and has larger print fonts and seems more legible and reader friendly. Includes: Eclectic Primer, Pictorial Eclectic Primer, Eclectic Progressive Speller, Eclectic First Reader, Eclectic Second Reader, Eclectic Third Reader, Electic Fourth Reader and Parent-Teacher Guide. This set coordinates with the Classic Curriculum - Reading series also published by Mott Media. These original McGuffeys use the alphabetic method of teaching reading which seems disorderly to our eyes (alphabet is not presented in order). Some claim that the view of God in this edition is too harsh and severe.
Description
Category Description for Mcguffey's Eclectic Readers 1836 Ed.
Homeschools have sometimes been compared to old-fashioned one room schoolhouses. And it's a comparison to be proud of. Back when we were a nation of one-room schoolhouses the literacy rate was considerably higher than it is today. And, interestingly enough even without today's emphasis on "standards", there was a uniformity among curriculum materials largely because there were so few being produced. School children all across America learned to read using the McGuffey Readers, first published in 1836. This edition is a reprint of the original edition. As you would expect, there are some dated elements, but the stories often have strong moral messages that are timeless. The upper readers include many classic selections.
