McGuffey's English reader remains one of the best series of books yet written for acquiring a high level of English literacy. The lessons are progressive. There are five books in the series, with the final series reaching a high literary level.

McGuffey Readers are a series of graded reading primers that were widely used as textbooks in American schools from the mid-19th century to the mid-20th century, and are still used today in some private schools and in homeschooling. My school uses them.

It is estimated that at least 120 million copies of McGuffey's Readers were sold between 1836 and 1960, placing its sales in a category with the Bible and Webster's Dictionary. Since 1961 they have continued to sell at a rate of some 30,000 copies a year. No other textbook bearing a single person's name has come close to that mark.
