Phonics and Reading With McGuffey II Lite

Building upon the success of our original Phonics and Reading program, Phonics and Reading with McGuffey II is the next in the series. This program is based upon the wildly successful “McGuffey’s First Eclectic Reader – Revised Edition”.

The tried and true McGuffey’s First Eclectic Reader develops basic reading comprehension skills for children as young as five all the way to adults learning to read. Using stories, word lists, phonics charts, and the original 19th-century illustrations, it is a timeless teaching tool. The McGuffey Readers are among the best known schoolbooks in the history of American education, having sold more than 120 million copies since the time of their first publication in 1836.

This one of a kind app contains the first 10 of 63 lessons of the First Eclectic Reader for free, and is designed to teach students at a 2nd grade reading level.

Children are then taught, step by step, to use the building blocks of their language to form and pronounce words. Each lesson begins with a study of words used in the reading exercise – the words presented with markings to show correct pronunciation and syllabification.

Stories picture children in their relationship with family, teacher, friends, and animals. It’s noteworthy that McGuffey’s stories had emphasis in good human morality in addition teaching the language. And with that, reading comprehension comes into play.
