The book from which most colonial children learned to read?
Colonial children learned to read by using "The Hornbook." The hornbook was used for instruction. Usually it contained the alphabet, a syllabary, numerals, and the Lord's Prayer. Hornbooks contained printed sheets of text, that was mounted on wood and covered with translucent animal horn, which was used to teach reading and numbers. The books were in the shape of a paddle. These tools for learning remained popular into the 1700's, when the battledore, a lesson book made up of folded paper or cardboard, became more prevalent. Like hornbooks, battledores usually contained the alphabet, numerals, proverbs or prayers.
What was going on in America during the time of the Renaissance?
During the Renaissance in Europe, the Aztec Empire in Mexico was building a city that was far grander than any city in Europe. On the other hand, the Maya culture was collapsing. When the Spanish arrived, Maya cities had vanished. People could still read the Mayan syllables. Maya writing has been cracked. A new Mayan syllabary has been created. A Catholic priest had made a copy of a Mayan text and the Spanish equivalent. In South America the Inca Empire was absorbing the surrounding cultures. It created a form of writing using beads. No one has ever figured out how it worked. The Incas invented the suspension bridge.
