They were a concise reference for several students of different ages, very basic stuff. We used them and my children are articulate young adults now, but they did get tired of these before we worked through them all, so we stopped and moved on to whole books instead. ( ) Four to eight new words are taught in each lesson, but there's not enough support to make it a stand-alone reader. Children will still require substantial help. Begins with "A cat and a rat", moves quickly into more complex readings such as "If the boat can not get to them, they will drown", and culminates with the poem: "All you do, and all you say / He can see and hear; / When you work and when you play / Think the Lord is near." This is a reproduction of the original. This phonics based beginning instruction book makes me wonder how kids learned how to read with it. A teacher would definitely have to explain the principles of phonics to any student attempting to learn with this, but I'm picturing children learning with it in one room school houses and having difficulty because there are so many gaps and so little explanation. ingen anmeldelser | tilføj en anmeldelse

Born in 1800, William Holmes McGuffey had a remarkable ability to memorize, and could commit to mind entire books of the Bible. After becoming a teacher at the age of 14, classroom size was just one of several challenges faced by McGuffey. In many one-teacher schools, students' ages varied from six to twenty-one, and few textbooks existed. In 1835, a publishing firm asked McGuffey to create a series of graded Readers for primary level students. The series consisted of stories, poems, essays and speeches and it is estimated that at least 120 million copies of McGuffey's Readers were sold between 1836 and 1960, placing its sales in a category with the Bible and Webster's Dictionary. Since 1961 they have continued to sell at a rate of some 30,000 copies a year. No other textbook bearing a single person's name has come close to that mark. No library descriptions found. |
