McGuffey's Eclectic Primer: Lesson 1

Lesson 1

The first couple of lesson of McGuffey's reader only requires your child to read through the given words. Your child should have covered at least 50 phongarms before starting the Primers. Have your child read through each word three times. If they are struggling with certain sounds, have patience and go back and review that sound. After reading the words, have them copy in their notebooks and draw a picture for each word.

The words for this lesson are:

Boy
Man

Hen

Memory Verse:

Zechariah 8:4-6

"Thus saith the LORD of hosts; There shall yet old men and old women dwell in the streets of Jerusalem, and every man with his staff in his hand for very age. And the streets of the city shall be full of boys and girls playing in the streets thereof. Thus saith the LORD of hosts; If it be marvellous in the eyes of the remnant of this people in these days, should it also be marvellous in mine eyes? saith the LORD of hosts."
