EBOOK MCGUFFEY'S FIRST READER ***


Produced by Don Kostuch


[Transcriber's Notes:
Welcome to the schoolroom of 1900. The moral tone is plain. "She is kind
to the old blind man."
The exercises are still suitable, and perhaps more helpful than some
contemporary alternatives. Much is left to the teacher. Explanations given
in the text are enough to get started teaching a child to read and write.
Counting in Roman numerals is included as a bonus in the form of lesson
numbers.
Each lesson begins with vocabulary words, followed by the description of a
picture (if any) related to the lesson's reading exercise. The lesson then
consists of printed text for reading and sometimes script (handwriting)
for reading or copying.
