Instructions for each of these methods is found in the new 18-page introduction that has been added to this edition. Like Miss Mason, Mr. McGuffey believed in short lessons, learned well, so the readers provide a convenient source for material to use with Miss Mason’s methods. Features of McGuffey’s Fifth Reader In the preface to the fifth reader, the original publisher of the 1857 edition describes the book: "This, the fifth in the series of the remodeled Eclectic Readers, differs from the preceding volumes, chiefly, in its grade. The lessons are more difficult, the lists of errors in articulation and pronunciation are more extensive, and the questions, more copious and varied. "A considerable amount of new matter, derived from the best sources of English literature, has been added. "The introductory article on Reading is commended to the notice of the teacher, as containing important instruction upon that subject, with copious illustrations and exercises. Miscellaneous exercises in articulation are also interspersed between the lessons. "The Spelling and Defining Exercises, placed at the head of the lessons, are copious and select. In addition to these, words are also marked in the lessons to be spelled and defined by the pupil. "The Reading Lessons have been very carefully selected. It has been the great object of the compiler to present the best specimens of style, to insure interest in the subjects, to impart valuable information, and, especially, to exert a decided and healthy moral and religious influence. "As very little material is found in a form appropriate to practice as reading lessons, the matter has here been extensively remodeled and rearranged, so as to adapt it to its place in this volume. On this account, the lessons are credited in the contents as being the authors named." By the end of the fifth reader, your student will be working with literary selections from Shakespeare, Lord Byron, Dr. Beecher, the Bible, Washington Irving, Daniel Webster, and other well-known writers and orators. Reading level for tested selections in this book ranged from Flesch-Kincaide grade level 5.8 through grade level 10.1ı for a speech delivered by Daniel Webster at the celebration of the completion of the Bunker Hill Monument in 1843.
