Vail. + + +EP 179 + + +Preface + +The flattering success of McGuffey's Revised Readers, and the inquiry for +more primary reading matter to be used in the first year of school work, +have induced the Publishers to prepare a REVISED PRIMER, which may be used +to precede the First Reader of any well arranged series. + +The method pursued is the same as that in McGuffey's Revised Readers, and +the greatest possible care has been taken to insure a gradation suited to +the youngest children. Only about six new words are to be mastered in each +lesson. These new words and the new elementary sounds are always to be +found in the vocabulary of the lesson in which they are first used. + +The plan of the book enables the teacher to pursue the Phonic Method, the +Word Method, the Alphabet Method, or any combination of these methods. + +Illustrations of the best character have been freely supplied, and the +skilled teacher will be able to use them to great advantage. + +The script exercises throughout the book and the slate exercises at the +close, have been specially written and carefully engraved for this Primer; +they may be used to teach the reading of script, and as exercises in +learning to write. + +In the full confidence that the public will appreciate a cheap and +attractive Primer of this character, the Publishers have spared no expense +to make this book equal, in type, paper, and illustrations, to any that +have been issued from their Press. +(iii) + + + +THE ALPHABET. + +A B C D +E F G H +I J K L +M N O P +Q R S T +U V W X +Y Z + + + +THE ALPHABET. + +a b c d +e f g h +i j k l +m n o p +q r s t +u v w x +y z + + +[Illustration: Cat watching moth.] + + + +McGuffey's Eclectic Primer + + +Lesson 1 + +a and cat rat + +a e d n r t + +[Illustration: Rat] + +a rat a cat + +A cat A rat + +A cat and a rat. + +A rat and a cat. + + + +LESSON II. + +at the ran has + +Ann h th s + +[Illustration: Cat] + +The cat the rat + +The cat has a rat. + +The rat ran at Ann. + +Ann has a cat. + +The cat ran at the rat. + + + +LESSON III. + +Nat hat fan can f + +[Illustration: Children playing at the seashore.] + +a fan a hat + +Ann and Nat. + +Ann has a fan. + +Nat has a hat. + +Ann can fan Nat. + + + +LESSON IV. + +man cap lad sat + +l m p s + +[Illustration: Boy running and old man, with gout, sitting.] + +a cap the lad + +A man and a lad. + +The man sat; the lad ran. + +The man has a hat. + +The lad has a cap. + + + +LESSON V.--REVIEW. + +The cat and the rat ran. + +Ann sat, and Nat ran. + +A rat ran at Nat. + +Can Ann fan the lad? + +The man and the lad. + +The man has a cap. + +The lad has a fan. + +Has Ann a hat? + +Ann has a hat and a fan. + +[Illustration: Script Exercise: + +a at rat sat + +can cap lad and + +The cat ran.

Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a +considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and keep up +with these requirements.

Only about six new words are to be mastered in each +lesson. These new words and the new elementary sounds are always to be +found in the vocabulary of the lesson in which they are first used. + +The plan of the book enables the teacher to pursue the Phonic Method, the +Word Method, the Alphabet Method, or any combination of these methods. + +Illustrations of the best character have been freely supplied, and the +skilled teacher will be able to use them to great advantage. + +The script exercises throughout the book and the slate exercises at the +close, have been specially written and carefully engraved for this Primer; +they may be used to teach the reading of script, and as exercises in +learning to write. + +In the full confidence that the public will appreciate a cheap and +attractive Primer of this character, the Publishers have spared no expense +to make this book equal, in type, paper, and illustrations, to any that +have been issued from their Press. +(iii) + + + +THE ALPHABET. + +A B C D +E F G H +I J K L +M N O P +Q R S T +U V W X +Y Z + + + +THE ALPHABET. + +a b c d +e f g h +i j k l +m n o p +q r s t +u v w x +y z + + +[Illustration: Cat watching moth.] + + + +McGuffey's Eclectic Primer + + +Lesson 1 + +a and cat rat + +a e d n r t + +[Illustration: Rat] + +a rat a cat + +A cat A rat + +A cat and a rat. + +A rat and a cat. + + + +LESSON II. + +at the ran has + +Ann h th s + +[Illustration: Cat] + +The cat the rat + +The cat has a rat. + +The rat ran at Ann. + +Ann has a cat. + +The cat ran at the rat. + + + +LESSON III. + +Nat hat fan can f + +[Illustration: Children playing at the seashore.] + +a fan a hat + +Ann and Nat. + +Ann has a fan. + +Nat has a hat. + +Ann can fan Nat. + + + +LESSON IV. + +man cap lad sat + +l m p s + +[Illustration: Boy running and old man, with gout, sitting.] + +a cap the lad + +A man and a lad. + +The man sat; the lad ran. + +The man has a hat. + +The lad has a cap. + + + +LESSON V.--REVIEW. + +The cat and the rat ran. + +Ann sat, and Nat ran. + +A rat ran at Nat. + +Can Ann fan the lad? + +The man and the lad. + +The man has a cap. + +The lad has a fan. + +Has Ann a hat? + +Ann has a hat and a fan. + +[Illustration: Script Exercise: + +a at rat sat + +can cap lad and + +The cat ran.

In 2001, the Project +Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation was created to provide a secure +and permanent future for Project Gutenberg-tm and future generations. +To learn more about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation +and how your efforts and donations can help, see Sections 3 and 4 +and the Foundation web page at https://www.pglaf.org. + + +Section 3.

Information about Donations to the Project Gutenberg +Literary Archive Foundation + +Project Gutenberg-tm depends upon and cannot survive without wide +spread public support and donations to carry out its mission of +increasing the number of public domain and licensed works that can be +freely distributed in machine readable form accessible by the widest +array of equipment including outdated equipment. Many small donations +($1 to $5,000) are particularly important to maintaining tax exempt +status with the IRS. + +The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating +charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United +States. Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a +considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and keep up +with these requirements. We do not solicit donations in locations +where we have not received written confirmation of compliance. To +SEND DONATIONS or determine the status of compliance for any +particular state visit https://pglaf.org + +While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where we +have not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no prohibition +against accepting unsolicited donations from donors in such states who +approach us with offers to donate. + +International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make +any statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from +outside the United States. U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff. + +Please check the Project Gutenberg Web pages for current donation +methods and addresses. Donations are accepted in a number of other +ways including including checks, online payments and credit card +donations. To donate, please visit: https://pglaf.org/donate + + +Section 5. General Information About Project Gutenberg-tm electronic +works. + +Professor Michael S. Hart was the originator of the Project Gutenberg-tm +concept of a library of electronic works that could be freely shared +with anyone. For thirty years, he produced and distributed Project +Gutenberg-tm eBooks with only a loose network of volunteer support. + + +Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks are often created from several printed +editions, all of which are confirmed as Public Domain in the U.S. +unless a copyright notice is included. Thus, we do not necessarily +keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper edition. + + +Most people start at our Web site which has the main PG search facility: + + https://www.gutenberg.org + +This Web site includes information about Project Gutenberg-tm, +including how to make donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary +Archive Foundation, how to help produce our new eBooks, and how to +subscribe to our email newsletter to hear about new eBooks. diff --git a/old/14642.zip b/old/14642.zip Binary files differnew file mode 100644 index 0000000..b87d9d5 --- /dev/null +++ b/old/14642.zip |
