Product Description

The New England Primer was the first textbook ever printed in America and was used to teach reading and Bible lessons in our schools until the twentieth century. In fact, many of the Founders and their children learned to read from the Primer. This pocket-size edition is an historical reprint of the 1777 version used in many schools during the Founding Era.

Lost values This little book provides a strong indication of the priorities and values of our Founding Fathers. To me it is an indictment of America's need to return to the basics and of course its first love. America was never intended to be a nation not under God. While many may argue, I think most of the problems before us stem from the fact that certain values are not being passed down and taught to children as early as possible. January 4, 2013

the books were great. we should go back to the old days November 5, 2011

Excellent little reproduction! It is fascinating to realize that our forefathers taught their young ones from the Biblical scriptures. It is a blessing to have an actual copy and I will have fun adding it to the books I am reading to my new granddaughter! Thank you so much for making this available to us here in the 21st century!

Wonderful as a gift. Excellent, I also purchase the 1777 version for myself and use this version as gifts, especially good for grade schoolers. July 2, 2011
