Reading is such an essential skill that it is the subject of many books and is taught daily in school. Early readers need the right material to grab their interest and teach them how to read correctly at the proper pace but adequately. McGuffey’s First Eclectic Reader uses the identification of letters and the way they are arranged into words as the basis of this learning. The book is part of a series of books successfully used as texts for young readers since the mid-19th century.
