McGuffey's Readers handle morals much differently from today's classroom textbooks, some of which present—without comment—all forms of lifestyles and behaviors. To help a child find happiness, make decisions and set priorities, McGuffey's lessons stressed that a child's first considerations must be to do right and be good. He praised the virtues of self denial and obedience. Reader stories accent piety, honesty, kindness to people, animals, thrift, industry and patriotism.Book Specs

McGuffey, William H.

Thurman and Smith

McGuffey's Readers emphasize on lessons designed to build character. Questions and a Spell-and-Define word list follow each lesson. All new questions, intended to aid oral discussion or to provide written assignments, were written from the understanding and viewpoint of today's child. The Spelling-and-Define list suggests words for spelling and vocabulary development. The numbers before each word refer to the paragraph or stanza where it is found.Book Specs
