The Get Wisdom! Literacy Curriculum Series, with McGuffey’s eReaders and Teacher Classroom Lessons

The first offering in our literacy curriculum for all ages is our Get Wisdom! Literacy Complete Curriculum. The Get Wisdom! Literacy Complete Curriculum takes the novice or professional teacher from fundamental principles to detailed classroom schedule and activities. The Literacy Curriculum Quick Start immediately provides the home school mom with sufficient background to establish the soundest literacy curriculum, from phonics and spelling, to a comprehensive reading program for any ages. The Go Deep course branch provides the serious educator with all the tools needed to become a master teacher.

As part of the Literacy Complete Curriculum, we offer the original Christian readers by William H. McGuffey, published in the 1830s, revolutionized American education, serving to counter the already ardent movement headed by Horace Mann to secularize American schools, thus undermining our heritage of Christian liberty. William McGuffey designed these books to center on our Savior and His ways, while developing the unparalleled literacy that helped to maintain and expand America’s do-it-yourself republic. The Get Wisdom! McGuffey’s eReaders are a part of a complete system of classroom and home school literacy training from a foundation of rigorous phonics training to cultivating advanced understanding of content and themes. This system is comprehensive, yet accessible with both Quick Start daily lessons and Deep Dive teacher training and support.

The accompanying McGuffey’s Classroom Lessons for Teachers provide background insight and complete reading lessons to enable teachers of any experience and accomplishment successfully to teach children to read, with understanding and discernment, using the Christian McGuffey’s eReaders.

The Complete Literacy Curriculum, McGuffey’s eReaders, and Classroom Lessons build upon the foundational training of Get Wisdom! Making Christian Heroes of Ordinary People and Get Wisdom! School and Classroom Principles and Methods.

Also available on Amazon Kindle and many online bookstores, such as the Apple Store, and Barnes and Noble.

The Get Wisdom! Literacy Complete Curriculum is the product of decades of pioneering research, crafted classroom use, and subsequent refinement. Literacy provides the home school mom needing all the help she can get as quickly and simply as possible. Yet Literacy also fills the needs of the serious education learner with some time to invest in equipping toward becoming a master teacher.

The Get Wisdom! Literacy Complete Curriculum provides phonics, spelling, reading and elementary grammar. Our rigorous phonetic training not only produced advanced literary skills among the youngest students, it also corrected all kinds of childish habits, dyslexia, and even childish attitudes. In schools where I regularly trained literacy teachers, we never failed to teach anyone to read, including numbers of dyslexic children of various ages through adolescence, and even a severely dyslexic mature adult.
