The Lesson Book Sherry K Hayes

The Lesson Book is a series of non-workbooks developed for use with the McGuffey readers. They are meant to bring peace and rest to moms while allowing children more freedom and enjoyment in learning. Level one is for those learners who are beginning to understand the basics of word composition and are sounding out simple sentences. You could use this book with the McGuffey's Pictorial Eclectic Primer and McGuffey's First Eclectic Reader (original version from Mott Media) Typical workbooks ask specific questions and require specific answers. The Lesson Book is not about specifics, just about giving a framework so that you, the teacher, have less to do. YOU decide what needs to be copied and dictated, your child decides what is important enough to be recorded. Besides the written word, there are plenty of spaces for drawings and doodlings (or anything else you want to add, such as a clipping of a picture or a bunch of stickers). In this way it becomes less of a "schoolbook" and more of a memory-keeper for actual learning. (You could also use this lesson book with a title such as Dr. Seuss' Hop on Pop.)
