Learn to read the old fashioned way, with McGuffey’s Eclectic Primer. This first reading book begins with the alphabet and moves from simple sentences made up of one-syllable words (“”A cat and a rat.””) through more difficult sentences of one-syllable words (“”A good child likes to go to school.””). The book includes “”slate exercises”” of the script alphabet and charming 19th-century illustrations throughout.
