Dear Homeschooling Families,

My name is Becky Brumder, and I need volunteers to help me with my research
for a paper on the use of McGuffey Readers by parents and their kids. I am a first-year grad student at the UW-Madison School of Library and Information Studies. I am an atypical student at the school because I am fifty-one years old and a conservative (a rarity in Madison). I used the McGuffey Readers in grade school, and they helped to spark my love of language and reading.

My understanding is that the McGuffey Readers are still used by parents who
teach their children at home. If anyone would be interested in helping me by an-
swering some questions (by phone or online), I'd be very grateful. I will respect
your privacy! Please get in touch with me soon.

Thank you very much!!

Becky Brumder
