In fact, many of the Founding Fathers and their children learned to read from The New England Primer.\u003cbr\u003e— Metrovoice\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe New England Primer was the first reading primer designed for the American Colonies. It became the most successful educational textbook published in 18th century America and it became the foundation of most schooling before the 1790s.\u003cbr\u003eMany of its selections were drawn from the King James Bible and others were original. It embodied the dominant Puritan attitude and worldview of the day. Among the topics discussed are respect to parental figures, sin, and salvation.\u003cbr\u003e—Wikipedia\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe New England Primer was the most popular children’s book in New England. The Primer was the Puritans answer to the Catholic unification of alphabet and creed found in the Enschedé Abecedarium and the enormously popular Book of Hours.\u003cbr\u003eThe New England Primer is a fascinating record not only of Puritan perceptions of educational and religious philosophy, but also of the changes in New England religion over time. Each edition updated aspects of the primer, most noticeably the treatment of the monarchy and the illustrated alphabet.\u003cbr\u003e—Reed College\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e______________________________________\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCONTENTS OF THE 1777 Edition\u003cbr\u003eA Divine Song of Praise to GOD, for a Child,\u003cbr\u003eThe young INFANT'S or CHILD'S morning Prayer.\u003cbr\u003eThe INFANT'S or young CHILD'S Evening Prayer.\u003cbr\u003eAlphabet\u003cbr\u003eA Lesson for Children.\u003cbr\u003eThe Infant's Grace before and after Meat.\u003cbr\u003eAn Alphabet of Lessons for Youth.\u003cbr\u003eThe LORD's Prayer.\u003cbr\u003eThe CREED.\u003cbr\u003eDr. WATTS'S Cradle Hymn.\u003cbr\u003eVERSES for Children.\u003cbr\u003eAnother.\u003cbr\u003eAnother.\u003cbr\u003eAnother.\u003cbr\u003eAnother.\u003cbr\u003eAnother.\u003cbr\u003eDuty to God and our neighbour.\u003cbr\u003eOur Saviour's Golden Rule.\u003cbr\u003eThe Sum of the Ten Commandments.\u003cbr\u003eAdvice to Youth.
