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 Edition)
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.

A MUST buy!!!!
My expectations have been blown out of the water!! I love everything about the book set. We are using them with both of my girls this coming homeschool year. I have been wanting them for a few years and finally took the plunge. My girls love Little House on the Prairie, now they feel more of a connection to the time period and every story links to God or live righteously.

Just what I was looking for!
Thank you for still making available this 8 Volume McGuffey Eclectic Reader and Parent/teacher Guide. Quality, hard cover volumes with the original lessons. I actually both the set for myself, for multiple reasons. I love history, and I love how God's word and the family values our nation was founded on are woven throughout the lessons. If I had it to do over again (home schooling) I would absolutely incorporate these as part of our curriculum. Can't say enough good about them. DM

Why did you choose this?
My son who has ADHD and mild Dyslexia reads well with eclectic readers.
I have chosen the McGuffey Readers because this was used at a time when the literacy rate in the US was so much higher than today and having other reading curricula in my home library that worked for…
I wanted the original McGuffeys instead of the later reprint.
Self improvement and would like to review if this method is better than the public schooling I received.
