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.
This is a hardcover, re-typeset of the original edition
written by William H. McGuffey (a 19th century educator and preacher), and
reflects the prevalent society beliefs and issues of the times. The stories
have strong moral messages with brief comprehension questions, spelling words
and possible articulation errors indicated. Readers include many classic
selections, including those from the Bible. As with any McGuffey reader, there
will be more parental involvement needed in the young-reader levels, which
include some illustrations. The Third Reader (67 lessons) is
middle-school range reading and the Fourth (129 lessons) is high-school
level and beyond. The Progressive Speller provides increasingly
challenging word lists that accompany the full series. Words are divided by
syllables with accent marks. The paperback Parent-Teacher Guide, written
by Ruth Beechick, includes lots of solid information on reading stages, lesson
ideas and grade-level suggestions for readers up through level four, with
glossaries that include definitions.
