| Mott Media's Classic Curriculum is a unique marriage of the values and principles of the 19th century and modern technology and teaching methods. Mott Media's founder, the late George Mott, spent years researching the history of education to find a curriculum which would give children a "Back to Basics" program of learning. The result of that research is the Classic Curriculum - McGuffey's Readers, Ray's Arithmetics, Harvey's Grammars, Spencerian Penmanship and other materials - which hold to the 19th century philosophy of education. In 1974 George Mott established Mott Media to begin the process of bringing back the "Classics". Through the years Mott Media has been faithful to George Mott's vision of publishing these textbooks in editions that are as close to the original versions as possible. |

Out of print for over 125 years, the original McGuffey Eclectic Readers are world
renowned for their teaching of reading through the integration of faith with learning.
William Holmes McGuffey was an outstanding 19th century educator and preacher
who combined his God-given talents in the preparation of these early textbooks
with their Christ-centered form. The character of our nation was molded in an
upright manner through the repeated use of these textbooks over several generations.
 Then They Had . . . • High Literacy and Achievement • Non-graded Individualized Teaching • Emphasis on the Three R's • Thinking Skills • Moral Content in all Curriculum These texts come from America's golden age of education and reform. They educated over 120 million children over four generations. Out of this golden age came great thinkers and developers such as Henry Ford, Thomas Edison, the Wright Brothers and many more who brought us the technology and advancements of the 20th century. The unique aspect of the Classic Curriculum is its complete flexibility. These books and answer keys can be used with or without the workbooks. This flexibility is particularly helpful to schools on limited budgets or home schools with more than one student. The Results Were . . . • Phenomenal Industrial and Scientific Advancement • High Productivity in the Work Force • Biblical, Moral and Human Values • National Pride and Loyalty • Great Spiritual Revivals The learning procedure includes a self-instructional format, continuous progress academics, graded vocabulary, and motivating activities. The emphasis is on the Three R's, thinking skills, and moral content in all curriculum that results in high productivity in the work force, national pride and loyalty, and great spiritual revival. These books retain the Christian values, which made our nation great. Other, later editions of the McGuffey Readers have omitted biblical and evangelical content; God was pushed out. When God is pushed out, humanism fills the void. These textbooks are an answer for people concerned about humanism in education today. The Classic Curriculum may be just what you need! |

Their impact on our lives as well as a great deal of factual information is skillfully presented to the child within the framework of interest-holding stories.

The Sowers Series Biographies have established their appeal
with a wide range of readers. Parents write in to say how much they have enjoyed the books while reading them to their children.
Children seek out additional titles in this series once they have read their first “Sowers” book. Mott Media publishes many books written by Dr. Ruth Beechick. Her latest book World History Made Simple offers fresh insight on what the Bible says about learning. "Teaching and learning are more effective when people are viewed with heart – with the image of God within them. All other learning theories view man as simply a body. The body learns by seeing, hearing, and sensing in other ways, but it is the heart that acts upon these stimuli." Other Mott Media books by Dr. Beechick include: Heart & Mind, You Can Teach Your Child Successfully, The Three R's, The Language Wars: and Other Writings for Homeschoolers, Genesis: Finding Our Roots, Adam and His Kin: The Lost History of Their Lives and Times, The Cabin and the Ice Palace, and Dr. Beechick's Homeschool Answer Book. Another author that recently joined our ranks is Lori Coeman. Lori has done extensive work on learning and teaching styles. Her latest book How to Teach So They Can Learn is a practical, easy-to-understand primer on learning styles that helps parents understand how their children learn and recognize all the elements of a learning profile. Lori also has other books that support this new release. Over the years our mission has been, and will remain, the production of sound Christ-based materials. We hope you will welcome our materials into your home. |
