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.… (mais)
I'm of mixed feelings about these as a teaching tool. 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.

A miniature facsimile of a 1909 American Book Company edition. Published by Yolanda Carter at the request of Miss Ruth Adomeit. William McGuffey died in 1873 but the Readers Spellers and Primers continued to be the standard American school books for many years in the thirty seven states.

The lighter yellow books with chocolate brown binding are facsimiles of the original series. The original series was considered by some to have had a higher literary content and possibly greater religious content. The Revised series, with reddish brown bindings and blue swirls upon the cover, removed much of the original religious content and literary content to create a work that de-emphasized regional and other differences. Another revision took place at the turn of the last century and possibly another circa 1920. Each revision significantly changes the content of the reading material. I consider them all separate series, but am not going to separate them at this time. The Speller, and 5th & 6th readers, were written by his brother. Other clearly separate series are the Moore- McGuffey Readers, though I cannot specify particular differences. Christian Liberty Press may have made a set in the past, labeling the books by letters. I do not know if they are identical in content. Now there are sets called "New" McGuffey's, which may or may not retain all original excerpts, but also include instructors content based on Charlotte Mason Techniques.
