McGuffey's 1836 First Eclectic Reader: Lesson I; The New Book.

Before reading the lesson review and talk about the phonograms oo, ere, ee and ear. Read through the vocabulary and make them write them down in there notebook first. This will make reading the lesson easier. After discussing the phonograms and reading through the vocabulary ask them questions: "Do you like getting new books ?", "What do you think the story is about?" and "What do you think will happen in this story?". Asking them questionslike this will help them look forward to reading it. Let the children read the selection aloud. It's good for them to read it about three times. It's also good to read it for them one time, so they can listen to the sounds. After reading the lesson compare the story to the children's earlier comments and asking them questions about the story. At the end print out the picture to the story and color it or have the children draw and color their own picture. Do this with all lessons, unless it says otherwise.
