I love listening to my daughter read. Tender sweet pauses while she mentally rehearses words in her mind. Her strengthening voice as confidence is gained.
Thanks to homeschooling we are proud owners of two new bookshelves and a book rack. My library card is currently maxed out and I have a pile of books waiting for a shelf. Library book sales are my weakness. Add a 20% off sale and things get dangerous!
Regardless of the paper books we have, I love the McGuffey readers. We have been fortunate to find two of them in print; however sometimes having an ebook version makes life easier.
Below are a few of the McGuffey readers that we plan on using as we transition through our homeschooing years. I’ve not had time to read them all yet- I’m still trying to navigate “Our Island Story“. However, I have read bits and pieces of the higher readers and I can’t wait to dive in.
I was really tickled to find “Familiar animals and their wild kindred” and “Living creatures of water, land and air” which are McGuffey Natural History Readers. You will find these and the others below. Just click on the images and you are on your way!
By the way, I’ve added a Bonus Book at the end of the list for those fascinated with McGuffey Readers.
Happy Reading!
