I'm currently trying to find out-of-print texts which are described to me as good sight readers for Grade 1 (and having no luck), but I found this website and thought I'd share the tidbit.

It's a teacher's website, and this column was written on my subject (loosely), and you know, I read about half of it because it's quite boring, then I asked myself, 'well, who is this woman of such authority?' Here's the answer at the bottom:

Grant Support: If your school is submitting a grant, I'll be happy to submit a letter to support your training. Often, grant readers are impressed that you've secured someone with credentials to assist with training and implementation. Contact me at cmsigmon@aol.com if I can help you.

Training Opportunities:

Below are seminars that I have coming up in the future. The fall schedule will soon be posted. Hope to see you at one!

The McGuffey readers that I've found so far are public-domain texts from 1879. Is that what you're talking about?

I'm sorry, i just wanted to let you know the readers I like. Yes, the are from the 1800's. They are wonderful. Every lesson has a moral value and it is a great phonic source. I am partial to the "Eclectic Readers".. I bought a nice hardbound set with readers first-fourth, and the spellers and sight book too. We used these early in our schooling.

We just loved McGuffy Readers. LOL, I too remember my son reading the fourth reader (thinking it was for grade 4), and saying, "Mom, these are some tough words". I am glad he used these now, because his vocabulary is outstanding for a 13 year old.

I think so. I remember thinking how old they were.

Well, when I have kids, I will definitely look into getting them! :D

Do you have an active homeschool ping list? If so, could you please add me to it, or tell me who on FR does maintain such a list? I would greatly appreciate it.
