The Narrated Version Is Abridged --- But Read Well

Revisado: 01-02-21

The Narrated version of the revised McGuffey's Eclectic Readers is abridged. In the printed version, starting with Lesson XL in the Third Reader, definitions of words appear at the end of each lesson. Example from that particular lesson: "Hinder --- interrupt, prevent from working." The definitions are not in the narrated version. Similarly, notes accompany the lessons in the Sixth Reader in the printed version. The notes are not in the narrated version. The beginning of the printed Second Reader includes two pages in instruction on articulation and punctuation. The Sixth Reader begins with sixty pages on articulation, elementary sounds, inflection, stress, accent, emphasis, phonics, and many other relevant topics. All these educational topics are left out of the the seven narrated books. Also missing in the narrations are the Prefaces and Suggestions to the Teacher --- Ideally, each of the words at the head of the lesson (in the lower readers) should be read once, followed immediately by the reading of its spelling, and then read again as a word. Example: "cat C A T cat". Likewise, ideally, each of the speech elements discussed in the charts and in connection to diacritical marks should be fully narrated. --- To make things really, REALLY ideal, the page being narrated and the illustration on that page would appear on the computer monitor (or cell phone) during the narration. --- The narrator reads very well and smoothly, with emphasis, stress, excellent diction, pronunciation, animation, et cetera. He is very professional. I myself, attempting to read the books aloud, would be stumbling over my words. --- The McGuffey Readers are great!
