McGuffey's New First Eclectic Reader William Holmes McGuffey

McGuffey's First Reader: This charming little reader begins with the alphabet, presented in upper- and lower-case formats. Carefully chosen engravings provide memorable clues to letter sounds, making the illustrated alphabet useful for quick reference. From the very first lesson, students practice spelling short words, then reading the resulting sentences. These simple first sentences begin by using two-letter words to form questions and answers, allowing the student to learn in context right from the beginning. As a result, they begin to see how word order can change meaning. An introduction has been added with instructions for using Charlotte Mason teaching methods with the readers.
