So grateful you took the time to film this. Thank you!

[@claudiafeigt1812]

Wow! I had no idea how vastly different these books were. Thank you so much for taking the time to share! I hope I can find these original sets for my kids. ❤️

[@gabrielledrummond]

This is fantastic! Thank you! I have the older version and was debating on getting the newer ones. I'm so glad that I found this video. This made my decision so much easier. Thank you again for reviewing the book differences.

[@jes4026]

Thank you very much for sharing the differences between the two sets. I just ordered original ones today and I'm grateful I didn't buy revised ones. I bought 8 books including the spelling book, pictorial primer and the teacher guide just in case it will be handy. I was just looking for tips on how to use McGuffey books when I found your video. I'm so glad for all the free homeschooling information online. That's how I found out about the McGuffey books. My child is so excited about getting them.

[@deputietribe]

That’s awesome! Let me know if you have any questions I would love to help

[@josselleW]

Thank you for sharing the details about the book!❤

We love the original McGuffeys! I'm using them with out 9yo and 6yo. They were both excited that God is featured in every story. The books supplement a lot of what we already discuss in our family devotions. I love finding God-centered curriculum. I loved your in-depth review and I'm so thankful that I didn't invest in the revised edition. I knew that the revised rarely mentioned God, but you pointed out exactly why God is almost completed taken out of the entire series. Thank you for your thorough review and for helping more to invest in a treasured Christ-centered curriculum in the original McGuffeys.

Very helpful. Thanks so much!

[@nbobrick17]

Thank you for this video! I went back and forth over which one I should use with my kids, and felt that biblical content was more important than something that was freely accessible online. And amen, Jesus is coming soon!

[@akristax]

I have both sets. For two years, I have barely reached for the revised version. I haven't really paid attention as to why but I have loved the original and the depth of each story and of course the strong biblical stance. The revised is sweet but I agree, its not nearly as evangelical! Thank you so much for comparing the two! I will continue with the original and just use the revised for reading material. By the way, you are glowing! I pray that all is well 🙏🏻❤

[@boxlove7283]

This was excellent! I love your Mcguffey videos. I have revised set , but now I shall hunt for original set. Thank you ❤️

[@audreymcnair350]

Thank you so much for this! I actually have the one you have, but thought I needed the others. I now know to stick with what I have.

[@deputietribe]

100%. My oldest girls are now entering the last book for high school! I can’t believe it

[@steadfastschoolhouse]

Thank you so much for sharing this comparison! Definitely going to use the originals over the revised.

[@christineholcomb3814]

Thanks so much for this comparison! I had just ordered the original second reader minutes before watching this. You put my mind at ease that I made the right choice. It is exactly what I’m looking for.

[@anggonz9503]

Thank you! I was comparing them the same way myself but this was much more efficient. And I hope my children grow up to marry others raised on McGuffeys original lessons lol 😂 that’s going on the criteria list 😉

[@deputietribe]

Haha love it!

[@whitneyc8274]

Your comments around 6:15 ♥️ I really appreciate this. Exactly the kids of info I was looking for. Thank you!

[@valleyoftears8964]

Wow! This is so timely! I noticed the newer McGuffey's mentioned God sporadically, but not much at all. I LOVE the Original! I'm gonna introduce it to the group I'm involved. Thanks!!

[@kayheart1413]

Love this ❤thank you for sharing ❤

[@candymcdonald2996]

I have loved the McGuffey readers for years! I’m so glad you are showing others their value! Great reinforcement of why I bought them long ago.

[@breannagroover5568]

Wow, this is fantastic. Thank you!

[@juanav9200]

Best video I have seen the comparison now I know which one to buy

[@wisdomencouraged9326]

This video was very helpful, thank you ❤

[@non-gmo]

Love the original McGuffey's ❤❤ we use these much more than the revised; revised is mostly just for adding in poetry

[@Berserk_Alize3]

Thank you! This was very helpful. I wish I had the original set I’ll have to grab that instead. I figured the revised was more current language but hadn’t realized that God was taken out so thoroughly in comparison. Upon looking at your recommendation of material I wondered what age/grade you introduced Harvey’s grammar and Spencerian writing?

[@deputietribe]

Harvey’s was elementary. I would say age 9+. Spencerian same age

[@Berserk_Alize3]

@@deputietribe Thank you!

[@haleyfink6325]

Hey there! I can't seem to find your part 2 to the original mcguffey video that talks about the curriculum that goes with the books and grammer and such?

[@deputietribe]

Language Arts Part II - Eclectic Foundations - McGuffey kzbin.info/www/bejne/qnKUhqekn8yefck Here it is. This is a second option if you like everything laid out for you. This curriculum uses the newer mcguffeys, and Harvey’s grammar lessons. I plan on making another video walking you through the Harvey grammar and how to use it daily as well as the other old books we use so you can create your own curriculum based on the original McGuffeys. Hope this helps!

[@SilverCreekHomestead]

Hey there homeschool mamma! I’m about to switch to McGuffy Readers(I think) for next year as I’m adding on two kiddos. I’m trying to figure out where to get started, though! I’m not wanting to purchase the entire set. Any tips on placement books? And, I 💯 agree on a Godly world view! Thanks for sharing!

[@deputietribe]

If you can find the books on a free domain site like archives.com you could page through them and see where would be a good fit

'Promo SM' 👌
