About this book
Beginning with a running dog and a cat on a mat, these lessons build reading skills through short sentences and familiar scenes. William Holmes McGuffey's reader introduces small groups of words before each exercise, then gradually adds longer vocabulary. Directions for teachers explain how to combine learning letter sounds with recognizing whole words. Printed lessons are accompanied by script exercises intended for reading and copying on a slate.
Children, pets, family life and outdoor play supply the material for practice. Later selections show Lucy and her mother discussing a bee inside a flower, boys caring for their horses, and children pretending to travel by train. Kindness and good manners accompany the reading instruction. For readers interested in older schoolbooks, the volume offers a close view of how elementary lessons joined vocabulary, handwriting and everyday conduct.
