How to Get the McGuffey Readers Free

The McGuffey Readers were in American schools in the 1800s and early 1900s. They’re still popular today with many homeschoolers.  If you’d like to get the McGuffey Readers free, I’ll help you!  Though you won’t have a book to hold in your hand, you’ll have access to the content of the entire books.

Click on the links below, and you’ll go directly to the book in its digital format.  You will not have to register to view the book. You may view it online, print it out, or download it.  I like to send books to my Kindle through the email address that Amazon gave me for that purpose.
