For the first time-the original Christian readers by William H. McGuffey are made practical for today's Christian students plus a new easy-to-follow Study Guide for parents and teachers. The original McGuffey readers were soaked in the Christian spirit and unsurpassed in quality, but their archaic spelling, grammar, and punctuation make them difficult for modern readers to use. These elements were carefully updated without sacrificing the quality or flavor of the originals. Quotes from classic poetry and prose were left untouched. This classic 5-volume series ties each lesson to a biblical theme and offers step-by-step instructions for reading, memorization, public speaking, comprehension skills and good writing habits. A full 10 year curriculum for grades 1 - 10. Illustrated.
