So glad you did this video! I own almost all of the Mcguffeys and haven’t quite figured them out. One thing I love is the rich vocabulary. How do you approach the lesson vocabulary words? Do you have your children just copy them? Use them as spelling words? Teach spelling rules? Dictionary skills? I know these books are like a gold mine when it comes to language arts and I really want to use them, I just don’t want to overlook some important concepts that could be taught. Perhaps you could walk through how you do a lesson. 😁

After watching your previous videos on language arts I really wanted to get the McGuffey Readers. The Lord answered my prayer when the entire original set by Mott media was at our used curriculum sale for $4. They are in fantastic shape, having never been used. I plan to use them extensively with my second grader this year and I'm easing my 5th grader into them. (He's never really use the Mcguffy's before.) I decided to just use a basic composition book for copy work and spelling for this year. I also plan to have my second grader start the Gentle Grammar series. Thank you so much for all of your resources.

Your videos and blog are such treasures! My friend picked me up the revised version because it was such a great deal at a used bookstore. My son is 4.5 and I don’t plan on doing any formal lessons until 6 (CM method), though he organically learned his letters and sounds as a toddler. Now he can read small words and simple readers. Letters are now uber boring to him since he’s known them for so long. I’ve been contemplating gently easing him into the McGuffey books to see how he’d do. Any suggestions or advice? He has no interest in writing or coloring (though he likes writing his name), so I’m holding off on that other than tracing a few simple, straight, and curved lines.
@berrypatch55835 жыл бұрын
My absolute favorite things for that age is the Rod and Staff preschool/ kindergarten....they are truly skill based for fun activities. They teach listening skills, visual perceptions skills, introduce letter writing, counting to 10, writing numbers to 10, and it is all done in the funnest way! A page a day is all that is needed to make progress and ALL 5 of my children who have done them have truly enjoyed them. I plan to still have my next 2 kiddos to do them. For our main Kindergarten we are use fans of CLE K2 with a phonics primer...both of these programs are super inexpensive and with the addition of reading aloud are actually age appropriate. We are also using Mcguffey this year with all of my 3rd-High Schoolers....and they are already really enjoying them. We do the Early Readers Bible as my childrens 1st primer followed bow by these and the Christian Liberty Nature Readers.

"Easing" is a good word. For him I would strongly suggest the original McGuffey's Pictorial Primer, since it is so gentle and gradual. If you go a few pages in and he gets antsy or starts feeling frustrated, you could always pull back and try again when he's just a bit older.

@MomDelights Жыл бұрын
I totally understand. Your daughter is doing just fine. We have been conditioned to push children to read before they are 7, but this is not always good for the child. Be gentle with her and yourself. If she 8s struggling, pull back and do more reading aloud, especially the old folk tales such as The Little Red Hen, Goldilocks and the Three Bears, and the old nursery rhymes. This will help prepare her mind for the patterns of language. When you both feel more relaxed and confident (it's ok if you need a few months), them you can use my free reading program momdelights.com/index.php/2019/05/24/teach-your-child-to-read-for-free/ along with the McG's pictorial primer. Hope that helps!

Thank you, I love these videos. I have the eclectic set and I've been using the primer with my son. We are almost finished with it and he is reading the lessons well, but after watching this I think I want to use the original McGuffeys. Should I move him into the original 1st reader or pictorial primer? The eclectic primer seems way different than the original primer and it looks like the original primer covers more. Would it be too big of a jump to go from the Eclectic Primer to the Original 1st reader? Or would it be better to start in original primer or perhaps in the middle of it?

have you ever looked at the 1857 version? I am confused about the names and differences between 1836 vs 1857 vs 1879. I understand that the 1879 was after mcguffey died so was not involved. But the names of each version are confusing and why does 1857 start with the 1st reader but the 1836 has a pictorial primer and primer then first reader? is the first reader the same in the 1836 vs 1857? trying to wrap my mind around all this. also, I do not know anything about phonics. Is there somewhere I could go to get a crash courses on phonics? I am feeling confused on how to even start using readers when I don't know phonics or what I am looking at as I look at the first reader (1857). (ie. I don't know which is long/short, which symbol goes with what sound, etc.) Sara
