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.

How To Writing Clearly - The Meaning Approach
Looking for a refreshing and easy route to good writing? 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.

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.

"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." Ruth

Learning Styles
by Lori Coeman
Learning styles information is a tool to help families create a positive learning environment. This simply means: (1) they
acknowledge that God created each child in a wonderfully unique way; (2) they understand that He gave each child a way of
learning that will help them fulfill His will for their life; (3) they recognize the different ways children learn and respond to training; (4)
they can adjust their training accordingly, and as God directs; and (5) they do not allow these differences to become an excuse for
lack of effort. By identifying ALL the various elements of a child’s learning profile, families can maximize their homeschooling
efforts. These resources can help homeschoolers design their own training program according to their educational philosophy and
the teaching approach they prefer. They let parents tailor their homeschooling accordingly in a practical, Biblical way.
Every child is unique matching your teaching style to
your child's learning style is the key
to a rewarding successful learning experience.

McGUFFEY READERS
The Original Complete 1836
McGuffey Reading Series
How would McGuffey teach reading if he were here today? 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.

Mott Media has Republished the Version of Ray's Arithmetic from the late 1870's and early 1880's!
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.

Thomas Edison, Henry Ford, Alexander Graham Bell,
and many more

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.

To the two English Grammar volumes written by the 19th century educator Thomas W. Harvey, we have
added keys which contain the answers to both volumes. These compact volumes cannot be matched for
the thoroughness with which they treat every aspect of English grammar.
Elementary Grammar and Composition
This textbook can be used in grades 4 to 6. A language study done in three parts with composition woven
throughout, this text begins with words, moves to simple sentences and later to complex sentences, easing
the child into grammar along the way. The eight parts of speech are studied as well as punctuation.

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.

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.
Theory book, 64 Pages, Paperback

Theory book plus five copybooks
ISBN-10: 0-88062-096-X ISBN-13: 978-0-88062-096-3
Copybooks
The five copybooks listed below make a complete course in elementary school handwriting. 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.

CLASSIC CURRICULUM
WORKBOOKS
Written Expressly for Mott Media's republication of
Ray's Arithmetic, McGuffey's Readers & Harvey’s Grammar
We are proud to offer a complete line of workbooks for grades 1-4 written by Dr. Rudy Moore expressly for
use with the textbooks described in this web site. Available for Reading, Writing, and Arithmetic, four
booklets per grade per subject, they provide clear daily lessons, regular reviews, quizzes, and a pull out
section containing a comprehensive test of mastery for that workbook as well as answers for all
assignments, quizzes and tests.
Except for a few of the grade 1 workbooks which teach "beginning basics," each workbook is keyed to
particular Classic Curriculum textbooks; Ray’s Arithmetic, McGuffey’s Readers, or Harvey’s Grammar. As
a child proceeds through the workbooks he/she is referred to the appropriate readings, lessons or
exercises in the various texts. While some parents and teachers prefer to personally shepherd the
progress of their students through the textbooks, many prefer the guidance offered by our workbooks.

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.
