Preserving our Christian Heritage in all we Publish.. Christian Publishing & Distribution Since 1974 MOTT MEDIA Our Mission Mott Media publishes "classic" curriculum that features yesterday's values for today's child. Our materials promote high literacy and achievement, individualized teaching, independent thinking, solid foundational skills, and strong moral values. Mott Media began out of an interest in teaching, a concern for the erosion of values in education, and a desire to preserve our Christian heritage. The McGuffey Readers and other successful "textbooks" from our nation's history, along with the companion workbooks, bring these timeless treasures to today's students. The Sowers Series presents biographies of historical figures who exemplify Christian values. Both early seeds of "classic" education and the "principle" approach. Authors such as Ruth Beechick and Lori Coeman help parents educate their children according to Biblical guidelines and God's design. If you’re looking for classic books that have not been “dumbed down” or stripped of Christian values, we have them. Our classical approach is based on our nation’s tried and true educational system as it was established following Biblical principles, and not on the secular humanism of the “classical” Greek education. Sound academics. Christian values. Inspiring stories.

You'll find it here--the meaning approach. This common sense approach speaks clearly to writers from young teens to adults. Read and use the insights as you see fit in your own writing. There are no boring drills and assignments. This book contrasts with much of today's teaching on how to write, which is ineffective and deadening to students. Here we explain the historical roots of that old system so you can confidently move to the meaning system. A bonus chapter gives a history of how English language came to us. 83 pages, Paperback ISBN-10: 0-88062-026-9 ISBN-13: 978-0-88062-026-0 World History Made Simple - Matching History with the Bible Sweep through all the world's history with this eye-opening trip. Read this connected and meaningful story that shows God winning over sin. Learn why the Bible is the most dependable tool for dating history. Teens can study this book as a survey course in world history or plug it anywhere into their social studies. They will gain a knowledge of history past and future, and also gain a biblical worldview to help with thinking about governments and current issues. Adults can skip the student assignments and read through this unique approach to history. Because it follows the Bible, it solves a number of mysteries that other history books cannot solve. 128 pages, Paperback ISBN-10: 0-88062-073-0 ISBN-13: 978-0-88062-073-4 Heart & Mind: What the Bible Says About Learning Ruth Beechick’s book Heart & Mind 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. This book contains the most complete research available about heart in the Bible. The Bible says the heart knows, considers, speaks, remembers, deceives, meditates, and other functions that modernists like to attribute to the brain. This book also reports physiological research that shows the Bible was right all along in the way it spoke about heart. A chart in the appendix summarizes almost 1000 Bible references to heart by meaning. By restoring our understanding of the role of heart, Dr. Beechick is reminding educators and parents – and especially homeschoolers – that we are not only “educating,” but truly training up the child in the way that he or she should go – in the image of God. 183 pages, Paperback ISBN-10: 0-88062-173-7 ISBN-13: 978-0-88062-173-1 "I meet teaching parents all around the country and find them to be intelligent, enthusiastic, creative people doing a marvelous job of teaching their children. But, sad to say, most of them do not know what a great job they are doing. Everyone thinks it goes smoothly in everyone else's house and theirs is the only place that has problems. I'll let you in on a secret about teaching: there is no place in the world where it rolls along smoothly without problems. Only in articles and books can that happen."

His first concern would be that the content should promote moral growth and excellence of mind in habits, attitudes, and literary tastes. And Bible selections would be at the top of his reading list. McGuffey also believed in phonics for beginning reading. Methods and timing should be adapted to the individuality of each child. Parents should not send their dearest treasure off to school too early in life, but should proceed at the child's own pace. This preserves the vigor of his mental action. McGuffey believed in memorizing as a way to develop habits of attention that promote understanding and mastery of ALL learning, even those studies which are not memorized. McGuffey believed that an obvious result of a cultivated mind is a wide vocabulary. And the best way to cultivate a wide vocabulary is to learn words in their context, as in studying the important ideas and noble thoughts presented in the Readers. These principles produce the education that shaped American character, particularly in the West, for over one hundred years. It's the kind of education the majority of Americans want and need today. THE CLASSICS ARE BACK! Mott Media has Republished the 1830's Version of the McGuffey Readers with the Original Christian Content! About the Author: William Holmes McGuffey (1800-1873) was a "born" educator. Beginning by teaching his younger brothers and sisters, William McGuffey accepted his first teaching position at 13 in a one-room school with 48 students. After graduating from Washington College and being ordained as a Presbyterian minister, he taught moral philosophy at Miami University in Oxford, Ohio for almost ten years. It was during this period that McGuffey wrote and compiled the Readers that made him famous. Later McGuffey rose to the rank of university president, serving Cincinnati College and Ohio University. He spent the final third of his life teaching moral philosophy at the University of Virginia.

Arithmetic teachers say: "Rediscovering Ray's is the best thing that's happened to arithmetic in a hundred years." "These books produce superior math students." "Their use of story problems develops thinking right from the start." "They are psychologically right in starting with concrete and mental arithmetic before introducing symbols." "Using Ray's this year has definitely improved the achievement test scores in our schools.” IT'S TIME FOR THE CLASSICS AGAIN Ray's Arithmetics teach arithmetic in an orderly fashion, starting from rules and principles, building knowledge piece by piece, leading pupils from simple to complex. From the very first pages, Ray's Arithmetics incorporate what has become the scourge of today's math students - story problems. Students must READ simple sentences which pose real life problems, decide whether to add, subtract, multiply or divide, and finally arrive at the answer - sometimes mentally - sometimes in writing. Ray's Arithmetics students learn arithmetic, increase their reading comprehension skills, and learn to think rather than plod through page after page of addition or subtraction problems with a one-line direction at the top of each page. A student raised on Ray's will not even know he/she should be fearful of "story problems" because from day one every problem is posed in a sentence format. The math books that taught American Inventors Thomas Edison, Henry Ford, Alexander Graham Bell, and many more ® LLC • Christian Publishing & Distribution • 1-800-421-6645 • www.MottMedia.com 13 Most early work is to be done with real objects such as fruit, counting blocks, or marbles. Later it is to be done in the head with mental images of the objects. When children are ready to think symbolically, they gradually drop their use of objects and images and learn to compute quickly with digits. Thus the child is carefully led through three growth states in arithmetic: 1) the manipulative stage, 2) the mental image stage, 3) the abstract stage. Over 120 million copies were sold in American education's golden age. Many millions of children used these Arithmetic books in the generations that produced the great inventors of the industrial revolution. Now it's your turn. 96 pages, Hardcover ISBN-13: 0-88062-051-X ISBN-13: 978-0-88062-051-2 PRIMARY ARITHMETIC This book introduces the four operations of addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division, along with counting and other basic skills. It can be used to guide your teaching for about two years - through grades 1 and 2. It goes farther than the average second grade course, but with Ray's mental system many second graders are able to do this work. INTELLECTUAL ARITHMETIC 144 pages, Hardcover ISBN-10: 0-88062-052-8 ISBN-13: 978-0-88062-052-9 Extends work in the four operations to higher numbers and begins fractions, measurements, ratio and percentage.

The eight parts of speech are studied as well as punctuation. 121 pages, Hardcover ISBN-10: 0-88062-041-2 ISBN-13: 978-0-88062-041-3 Elementary Grammar and Composition - Teacher’s Answer Key Contains answers to the exercises from Harvey's Elementary Grammar and Composition shown above 30 pages, Paperback ISBN-10: 0-88062-153-2 ISBN-13: 978-0-88062-153-3 Revised English Grammar This grammar is recommended for use in the 7th and 8th grades, as well as in high school. It is a comprehensive grammar in the classic sense, including four parts. Orthography: the study of letters, syllables, sounds and spelling that make up English words. Etymology: the study of words classified into parts of speech. Each part of speech is further studied according to classes, number, tense, mode, and other attributes which affect it as variously used in sentences. Syntax: the study of sentences, their elements, relations of parts, and so forth. It also includes the study of punctuation. Prosody: the study of accent, quality, and tone of language, as well as rhythms and measures as used in poetry. A more complete treatment of this topic than can be found in virtually all modern grammar books. When your students have studied such a comprehensive grammar, they can continue to use it for reference, checking on rules and definitions for a lifetime. 218 pages, Hardcover ISBN-10: 0-88062-042-0 ISBN-13: 978-0-88062-042-0 Revised English Grammar - Teacher's Answer Key Contains answers to the exercises from Harvey's English Grammar as shown above. 48 pages, Paperback ISBN-10: 0-88062-154-0 ISBN-13: 978-0-88062-154-0 15 In the mid-1800's, the Spencerian form of penmanship became a standard. An elegant handwriting was much prized. Today, in our computer age, a fine, beautiful, and legible handwriting brings a warm personal touch to our correspondence. These books, 5 copybooks and a theory book (available separately or as a set), may be used to introduce cursive writing to second or third graders or to improve the handwriting of older students or adults. Theory of Spencerian Penmanship By Platt R. Spencer. This book explains how all the letters can be made gracefully and rapidly using various combinations of a few basic pen strokes. It explains Spencer's philosophy of teaching principles which engage the mind as well as the hand. It also details his methods for teaching classes of children. One of these is having the children write rhythmically, in concert, as the teacher counts. The power of this method is being rediscovered today.

They can be used in any of the grades. Book 1 Introduces all the short letters. Only four strokes, or principles, as Spencer called them, are needed to produce these letters. Book 2: Adds some of the tall letters - t and d and the numerals 1-9. Book 3: Completes the lower case alphabet and introduces most of the capitals. Book 4: Completes the capital alphabet and provides practice on all the letters as they appear in words. Book 5: Presents sentences and sayings for writing practice. Examples: Kind words can never die. Promise little and do much.

The Reconstruction of the Republic by Harold O. Brown Pages 234, Paperback ISBN-10: 0-91513-486-1 ISBN-13: 978-0-91513-486-1 Originally written for the nation's bicentennial, this updated version focuses on the political traditions of this nation and how it has strayed from the original intentions of the founding fathers. The goal is to help readers understand the problems, threats, challenges, and opportunities before us. It examines the role of government, government and Christianity, ethics, and the responsibilities of citizens. Four Trojan Horses of Humanism by Harry Conn Pages: 143, Paperback ISBN-10: 0-88062-009-9 ISBN-13: 978-0-88620-09-3 Humanism is the most dangerous religion ever foisted upon mankind. It subtly attacks the very heart, mind and soul of people of all ages. Christians need to protect their children--our Christian leaders of tomorrow--from the corrupting influences of this deadly philosophy. A “must read” for equipping parents and students alike. Under God - History & Government by William C. Hendricks 245 pages, Paperback ISBN-10: 0-88062-144-3 ISBN-13: 978-0-88062-144-1 Under God Teacher's Resource Booklet, 81/2 x11, 3 hole punch Unbound ISBN-10: 0-88062-145-1 ISBN-13: 978-0-88062-145-8 The goal of Under God is to develop effective citizens within the framework of the Christian faith and Christian principles. To help students attain this goal, Under God includes sound ideas about the foundations of constitutional government and the historical background of United States government. Under God is well suited for an 8th or 9th grade civics/government course; however, the text is also suitable for high school students and the activities suggested can be pursued in a more in-depth manner. It is absolutely essential that we teach our children the Christian roots of our country. To assist the teacher or homeschool parent to maximize the effectiveness of this textbook we also offer the Teacher's Resource Booklet. It includes pertinent teaching suggestions, answer keys for the questions which appear in the textbook, and unit tests (with answers) to help evaluate the student's understanding of the material. We trust these materials will help Christian students realize their potential for effective citizenship under God. 20 Order Fulfillment Services At Mott Media our goal is to ensure that your order arrives PROMPTLY, ACCURATELY, and in GOOD CONDITION.
