It is estimated that at least 122 million copies of McGuffey Readers were sold between 1836 and 1960, placing its sales in a category with the Bible and Webster's Dictionary. He was born the son of Alexander and Anna (Holmes) McGuffey near Claysville in Washington County, Pennsylvania, which is 45 miles southwest of Pittsburgh. In 1802 the McGuffey family moved further out into the frontier at Tuscarawas County, Ohio. He attended country school, and after receiving special instruction at Youngstown, he attended Greersburg Academy in Darlington, Pennsylvania. Afterwards, he attended and graduated from Pennsylvania's Washington College, where he became an instructor. He was close friends with Washington College's President Andrew Wylie and lived in Wylie's house for a time; they often would walk the 3 miles to Washington College together. McGuffey's house in OxfordMcGuffey left Washington College in 1826 to become a professor at Miami University in Oxford, Ohio. A year later in 1827, he was married to Harriet Spinning of Dayton, Ohio, with whom he had five children. In 1829, he was ordained at Bethel Chapel as a minister in the Presbyterian Church. It was in Oxford that he created the most important contribution of his life: The McGuffey Readers. His books sold over 122 million copies. He was very fond of teaching and children as he geared the books toward a younger audience. In 1836, he left Miami to become president of Cincinnati College, where he also served as a distinguished teacher and lecturer. He left Cincinnati in 1839 to become the 4th president of Ohio University, which he left in 1843 to become president of Woodward College (really a secondary school) in Cincinnati. In 1845, McGuffey moved to Charlottesville, Virginia where he became Professor of Philosophy at the University of Virginia. A year after his first wife Harriet died in 1850, he married Miss Laura Howard, daughter of Dean Howard of the University of Virginia, in 1851. McGuffey is buried in the university burial ground, in Charlottesville, Virginia. The School of Education at Miami University is housed in McGuffey Hall which is named for him and his home in Oxford is a National Historic Landmark offering tours on weekdays. 内容简介《美国语文读本2(美国原版经典语文课本)》:这套读本的英文原版共分七级,包括启蒙读本和第1-6级。考虑到启蒙读本与第一级篇幅都较少,难易程度也很接近,于是将之合并为第1册,其余2-6级与英文原版相同。这样国内出版的这套读本共包括6册。 从《美国语文读本2(美国原版经典语文课本)》开始,均是比较正式的课文,概述了历史、生物、天文、动物学、植物学、餐桌礼仪、行为举止、对神和老师的态度等。每一课包括词汇和课文,并且对一些生词的英文做出了解释,让学生学会通过简单英文理解生词,养成用英语理解和思维的习惯。 This series of schoolbooks teaching reading and moral precepts, originally prepared by William Holmes who was a professor at Miami University McGuffey, had a profound influence on public education in the United States. The eclectic readers, meaning that the selections were chosen from a number of sources, were considered remarkably literary works and probably exerted a greater influence upon literary tastes in the United States more than any other book, excluding the Bible. It is estimated that at least 120 million copies of McGuffey's Readers were sold between 1836 and 1960, placing its sales in a category with the Bible and Webster's Dictionary. Since 1961 they have continued to sell at a rate of some 30,000 copies a year. No other textbook bearing a single person's name has come close to that mark. McGuffey's Readers are still in use today in some school systems, and by parents for home schooling purposes. The second reader appeared simultaneously with the first and followed the same pattern. It contained reading and spelling with eighty-five lessons, sixteen pictures and one-hundred sixty-six pages. It outlined history, biology, astronomy, zoology, botany; table manners, behavior towards family, attitudes toward God and teachers, the poor; the great and the good. The duties of youth are stressed. Millions of pioneer men and women were alumni of this second reader college, they were able to read and write English. 目录LESSON 1 EVENING AT HOME LESSON 2 BUBBLES LESSON 3 WILLIE’S LETTER LESSON 4 THE LITTLE STAR LESSON 5 TWO DOGS LESSON 6 AFRAID IN THE DARK LESSON 7 BABY BYE LESSON 8 PUSS AND HER KITTENS LESSON 9 KITTY AND MOUSIE LESSON 10 AT WORK LESSON 11 WHAT A BIRD TAUGHT LESSON 12 SUSIE SUNBEAM LESSON 13 IF I WERE A SUNBEAM LESSON 14 HENRY, THE BOOTBLACK LESSON 15 DON’T WAKE THE BABY LESSON 16 A KIND BROTHER LESSON 17 MY GOOD-FOR-NOTHING LESSON 18 THE KINGBIRD LESSON 19 EVENING HYMN LESSON 20 THE QUARREL LESSON 21 THE BEE LESSON 22 THE SONG OF THE BEE LESSON 23 THE TORN DOLL LESSON 24 SHEEP-SHEARING LESSON 25 THE CLOUDS LESSON 26 PATTY AND THE SQUIRREL LESSON 27 THE SPARROW LESSON 28 SAM AND HARRY LESSON 29 THE LITTLE HILL LESSON 30 THE BOAT UPSET LESSON 31 MARY’S LETTER LESSON 32 THE TIGER LESSON 33 THE FIRESIDE LESSON 34 BIRDIE’S MORNING SONG LESSON 35 WILLIE AND BOUNCE LESSON 36 WILLIE AND BOUNCE (CONCLUDED) LESSON 37 THE KITCHEN CLOCK LESSON 38 THE NEW SCALES LESSON 39 THE BEAR AND THE CHILDREN LESSON 40 THE LITTLE HAREBELL LESSON 41 THE FISHHAWK LESSON 42 WHAT THE LEAF SAID LESSON 43 THE WIND AND THE LEAVES LESSON 44 MAMMA’S PRESENT LESSON 45 MARY’S STORY LESSON 46 RALPH WICK LESSON 47 COASTING DOWN THE HILL LESSON 48 THE FOX AND THE DUCKS LESSON 49 PRETTY IS THAT PRETTY DOES LESSON 50 THE STORY-TELLER LESSON 51 THE STORY TELLER (CONCLUDED) LESSON 52 THE OWL LESSON 53 THE OWL (CONCLUDED) LESSON 54 GRANDFATHER’S STORY LESSON 55 GOD IS GREAT AND GOOD LESSON 56 A GOOD OLD MAN LESSON 57 THE GREEDY GIRL LESSON 58 A PLACE FOR EVERYTHING LESSON 59 MY MOTHER LESSON 60 THE BROKEN WINDOW LESSON 61 THE BROKEN WINDOW (CONCLUDED) LESSON 62 FRANK AND THE HOURGLASS LESSON 63 MARCH LESSON 64 JENNY’S CALL LESSON 65 POOR DAVY LESSON 66 ALICE’S SUPPER LESSON 67 A SNOWSTORM LESSON 68 BESSIE LESSON 69 BESSIE (CONCLUDED) LESSON 70 CHEERFULNESS LESSON 71 LULLABY |
