sep 23, 1803 - McGuffey Readers
Description:
Controversy over using the Bible to teach character education began so the need for a new "textbook" arose. The McGuffey readers began to be used in the 1800s. These readers contained many biblical stories but also included poems, exhortations and heroic tales (Tatman, Edmonson, & Slate, 2017).
