McGuffey Readers

This will be used for teaching reading in Grades 1st - 3rd or from 1st grade through whenever they reach a point where they can read easily and do not require the use of these guides. When they feel comfortable reading a beginner chapter book, they don't need to continue the McGuffey Readers for reading instruction, they can just start reading from books they find interesting. Just follow your instincts, mama! You can find these for FREE online here.

These are also for dyslexic children, start with the Primer regardless of age/grade if they struggle greatly. You can look these books up for free online to see which book would be best. You begin your student at the spot where they need any assistance from you on a word, letter sound or pronunciation.
