      This is a good primer for beginning readers. It is focused on phonics and repetition.
    • 3/5
      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.
    • 4/5
      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.

    [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.

    Preface

    The flattering success of McGuffey's Revised Readers, and the inquiry for more primary reading matter to be used in the first year of school work, have induced the Publishers to prepare a REVISED PRIMER, which may be used to precede the First Reader of any well arranged series.

    The method pursued is the same as that in McGuffey's Revised Readers, and the greatest possible care has been taken to insure a gradation suited to the youngest children. Only about six new words are to be mastered in each lesson. These new words and the new elementary sounds are always to be found in the vocabulary of the lesson in which they are first used.

    The plan of the book enables
