Excerpt from The Common-Word Spellers: A Two-Book Course in Spelling for the Common Schools Book Two of the Common-Word Spellers continues the plan of work begun in Book One. It emphasizes the spelling of common words, separately treats phonetic and unphonetic words, consistently reviews difficult words previously taught, and stresses the hard spots in words. It also continues written dictation, standard tests, and exercises in syllabication. One outstanding new feature of Book Two is the dictionary lessons presented in a novel and practical way. Pupils are taught how to use guide words and key words, and how to interpret diacritical marks and marks of accent. Word studies including the significance of prefixes and suffixes, of plural forms, and the formation of compounds are given a prominent place. Derivatives comprise so large a percentage of our common words that word-building exercises are very properly emphasized. Adequate attention is also given to correct pronunciation and to practice in written spelling. Another feature receiving attention is the planned lessons for teaching spelling in the pupils' original composition. After all, this is the real test of one's ability to spell. Put to this test many of our prize winners in spelling classes display weakness. When correct spelling functions subconsciously as a person writes, he spells well.
