Book Reviews of McGuffey Series (McGuffeys Eclectic Readers Series)
Book Review: 1830's McGuffey reprints
Summary: 5 Stars
I received these today. The box is sturdy and the bindings and covers of the books also. The paper is a nice weight and the printing is very clear and sharp. I took a bunch of pics and will upload them. They did send me two of one book and not another, so I have to return and get another set. But the quality of the product is very nice. Pictoral Eclectic Primer - no pub date I could find in the book; original publisher was Winthrop B. Smith & Co.; Eclectic Primer - 1836; Eclectic First Reader - 1836; Eclectic Second Reader - 1836; Eclectic Third Reader 1837; Eclectic Fourth Reader - 1837. They did not send me the speller - but I got two copies of the pictoral primer. Hopefully I will get a complete set when I get the replacement. I will update this then.
Summary of McGuffey Series (McGuffeys Eclectic Readers Series)
Mott Media has Republished the 1830's Version of the McGuffey Readers with the Original Christian Content! How would McGuffey teach reading if he were here today? His first concern would be that the content should promote moral growth and excellence of mind in habits, attitudes, and literary tastes. And Bible selections would be at the top of his reading list. McGuffey also believed in phonics for beginning reading. Methods and timing should be adapted to the individuality of each child. Parents should not send their dearest treasure off to school too early in life, but should proceed at the child's own pace. This preserves the vigor of his mental action. McGuffey believed in memorizing as a way to develop habits of attention that promote understanding and mastery of ALL learning, even those studies which are not memorized. McGuffey believed that an obvious result of a cultivated mind is a wide vocabulary. And the best way to cultivate a wide vocabulary is to learn words in their context, as in studying the important ideas and noble thoughts presented in the Readers. These principles produce the education that shaped American character, particularly in the West, for over one hundred years. It's the kind of education the majority of Americans want and need today.Words & Language Books
