Not just reading lessons!,
By A Customer
This review is from: McGuffey's Third Eclectic Reader (McGuffey's Readers) (Hardcover)
The McGuffey's Revised Second and Third Eclectic Readers combine a number of lessons into one. They can be used for reading comprehension or as copybooks for improving handwriting skills. The numerous poems can be used to improve memory skills. Furthermore, many of the lessons are focused on nature subjects such as birds, insects, farm animals, etc., and will supplement a natural history text for teaching early scientific observation. Most importantly, all the lessons are moral and help to preserve childhood innocence, something that is sorely needed in today's world. Filled with beautiful illustrations, these hardcover textbooks are an outstanding value.

A Must-Have for Kids in Today's Society,
By Hena Khan-Mukhtar - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: McGuffey's Third Eclectic Reader (McGuffey's Readers) (Hardcover)
I can't believe that this book was used in this country's public schools once upon a time! (It actually mentions God, although it doesn't ascribe to any one particular religion). It's values and lessons like these that once helped this nation become great. What else do you expect when its citizens are taught as young students to obey/respect adults, help the weak, speak gently, be honest, not backbite, not show-off, etc.? I feel that today's books are afraid to teach morals to our children, and the vocabulary and sentence structure in today's readers are too simplistic. I am thrilled with this find and am recommending it to everyone. I love the discussions that each passage sparks in my household and it's safe to say that my 8 yr old and 6 yr old sons are enjoying it as much as I am.

McGruffey's Third Eclectic Reader - how I found it,
By RB - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: McGuffey's Third Eclectic Reader (McGuffey's Readers) (Hardcover)
Happen to see this in Nappanee, IN at the Amish Acres school house. Got it for my grand kids, but I am enjoying it right now. A bit of history of how learning was years ago.
