McGuffey's Eclectic Third Reader

This volume contains considerably longer passages than any of the previous books. Illustrations are almost entirely absent. A new feature is the introduction of instructions for reading aloud. To accompany the reading aloud, there are a few comments following each passage that mention common errors in pronunciation.

The lessons sample many different subjects. There are elements of history, natural science, poetry, biblical passages and stories, and inspirational stories. The words are of various lengths and the stilted language found in the earlier books caused by using only short words is now completely gone.

The original of this book was also copyrighted in 1837.
