Product Review

Filled with happy tales, good morals, and a systematic approach to teaching reading, it is clear why McGuffey's Readers have been among the most loved and most used books in American history. McGuffey's Primer starts out with the basics of the alphabet and gradually builds up the phonics skills and sight word recognition until the child is reading full paragraphs and narratives. Readers 1 - 6 build upon this approach and take the young learner step by step until they are reading works from some of the greatest minds and writers in history. The strength of these Readers is in its sequential gradation of skills. Its beauty is in its timeless stories.

Note - this Kindle version of McGuffey's Readers contains all of the original illustrations and formatting that are in the printed books. Comments below that say otherwise are referring to a different Kindle edition of this book.
