Synopsis

McGuffey’s Second Reader begins with a lesson on articulation, with instructions for the teacher, seven exercises, and a model for class drill. This is followed by 71 lessons, which include stories, essays, and poetry. Focus: Reading and Spelling Grade level: K-2 or as needed Content: 71 lessons, 180 pages McGuffey’s Second Eclectic Reader begins with a lesson on articulation, with instructions for the teacher, seven exercises, and a model for class drill. This is followed by 71 language arts lessons, based upon character-building stories, essays, and poetry. Each paragraph or stanza is numbered, which makes it very easy to assign portions of a passage or poem as copywork, recitation, or narration. In this reader, students will find spelling words listed at the beginning of each lesson. Many stories and nonfiction pieces are followed by a few questions. You may choose whether or not to use these or to simply substitute narration or a simple conversation about the story or poem. The second reader, like the others in the series, can be adapted of to fit classroom or homeschool needs. An introduction has been added with instructions for using Charlotte Mason's methods of copywork, recitation, and narration with the readers. 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.

À propos de l?auteur

William Holmes McGuffey (1800-1873) McGuffey was an American theologian and Professor of Moral Philosophy, Greek, and Latin who believed that education should include spiritual and moral training. He was mindful of the practical and budgetary issues of teaching in the one-room schoolhouses of the American frontier, and his goal was to create a curriculum that even untrained teachers could use to provide practical instruction in communication skills through memorable stories and poems. His Readers were often the only books that children had access to, and according to an article in the History and Culture newsletter of the National Park Service, "Most prominent post-Civil War and turn-of-the-century American figures credited their initial success in learning to the Readers.”
