Excerpt from The Common-Word Spellers, Vol. 1: A Two-Book Course in Spelling for the Common Schools The outstanding features of the Common-Word Spellers are: 1. The books contain a scientifically selected vocabulary of the words most commonly used in written correspondence. 2. These words are graded according to their difficulty as established by actual tests rather than by guesswork. 3. Phonetic words are grouped into lessons according to their phonetic elements. 4. Unphonetic words are taught separately as sight words. 5. Reviews are arranged both in columns and in context, the more difficult words being reviewed more frequently. 6. Sentences and letters for dictation are composed exclusively of words previously presented. 7. Especial attention has been paid to the hard spots in words and to words most often misspelled. 8. A standard test in spelling is given at the end of each grade, beginning with the second. 9. Practical exercises in pre-dictionary work occur in grades three and four. 10. Syllabication is taught by means of established principles as well as by practice. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
