Old Fashioned History for Modern Readers

The Third Reader is first in a series of new readers compiled of selections from a large collection of antique American public school readers spanning from the early 1800s to the early 1900s. These selections are representative of the older ideology of American public education, featuring traditional Christian faith and moral values, patriotism, and the historical context of the American nation. They are also wonderful illustrations of a time when there were no cell phones or televisions, when steam locomotives and telegraphs were hard-won and exciting new inventions—or not around at all.

Readers are designed to build historical knowledge, thinking skills, reading skills and vocabulary, as well as develop godly character. The Third Reader corresponds to the sixth, seventh, and eighth grade range.

The Third Reader is the first reader in The Old Fashioned School Books readers from Old Fashioned History.
