A. + + + + +PREFACE + + +It is the intention of the authors to include sufficient discussion +and directions to teachers so that this book may be taught with the +highest possible degree of efficiency. Under general directions to +teachers will be found a discussion of those points which concern all +teachers regardless of grade. In addition, preceding the word list for +each grade will be found supplementary directions to aid the teachers +in facing the problems peculiar to that grade. + +Special attention is called to the elaborate provision for making the +pupil intelligent and responsible in his attack on his own spelling +problems. This result is achieved by the testing plan which discovers +to the pupil his deficiencies; by the standard scores which enable him +to compare his accomplishment with that of other children; by the +efficient method of study which is provided; and by the unusually +rigorous follow-up work given in the review lessons. The authors +therefore present this book to the pupils and teachers of the United +States as a contribution to the solution of the problem of developing +a nation of good spellers. + + THE AUTHORS. + + DECEMBER, 1920. + + + + +CONTENTS + + + PAGE + + PREFACE iii + + GENERAL DIRECTIONS TO TEACHERS vii-xiv + + DIRECTIONS TO PUPILS xiv-xvi + + DIRECTIONS TO TEACHERS OF GRADE I 2 + WORD LIST, GRADE I 3-5 + + DIRECTIONS TO TEACHERS OF GRADE II 8 + WORD LIST, GRADE II 9-14 + + DIRECTIONS TO TEACHERS OF GRADE III 16-17 + WORD LIST, GRADE III 19-27 + + DIRECTIONS TO TEACHERS OF GRADE IV 30 + WORD LIST, GRADE IV 31-40 + + DIRECTIONS TO TEACHERS OF GRADE V 42 + WORD LIST, GRADE V 43-52 + + DIRECTIONS TO TEACHERS OF GRADE VI 54 + WORD LIST, GRADE VI 55-64 + + DIRECTIONS TO TEACHERS OF GRADE VII 66 + WORD LIST, GRADE VII 67-78 + + DIRECTIONS TO TEACHERS OF GRADE VIII 80 + WORD LIST, GRADE VIII 81-95 + + DICTATION EXERCISES 97-105 + + + + +LIPPINCOTT'S HORN-ASHBAUGH SPELLER + + + + +GENERAL DIRECTIONS TO TEACHERS. + + +=How the Teaching of Spelling May be Improved.=--The teaching of +spelling may be improved in three ways: first, by selecting a better +list of words for the pupil to study; second, by placing before the +pupils of each grade the words that are most appropriate for them; and +third, by introducing economical procedures in learning. The first is +the problem of the course of study; the second, the problem of +grading; and the third, the problem of method. + +=The Vocabulary.=--To solve the first problem one must insure that the +pupils will study all words they are likely to use in life outside the +school. One must also insure that the pupils' time will not be wasted +through their being required to learn words which they will never use. +This problem has been solved for you by the authors of the text. The +vocabulary of the lessons is taken from a compilation which Doctor +Horn has made of ten scientific investigations of the words used in +writing letters. These investigations, taken together, represent the +careful analysis of over three-quarters of a million running words of +correspondence. If you will analyze one letter, you will see what a +very great amount of work these investigations have required. It seems +very unlikely that any word commonly and frequently used should have +been overlooked in all of these investigations. + +These ten studies contain all of the information which is available at +the present time concerning what words are likely to be used in +writing letters. Accordingly, there is no word in this speller which +has not been reported in one or more of these investigations. In +addition, this vocabulary has been carefully compared with all of the +other types of reading and writing vocabularies. + +Among these are the studies of children's themes, such as those by +Jones, by the teachers of New Orleans, Kansas City, and Richmond, +Virginia; the various studies of adult reading vocabularies, such as +those by Eldridge and Knowles, aggregating over 140,000 running words; +the studies of the vocabulary of school readers, such as those by +Packer, Housh, and Miller, aggregating over one-half million running +words. No word has been taken from these studies which did not occur +in the investigations of the vocabulary of personal and business +letters. On the other hand, these studies showed quite clearly that +the words found as the result of the analysis of three-quarters of a +million running words of correspondence are really basic in any +writing vocabulary. + +If you will examine the book, you will see that most of the lessons are +numbered with arabic numerals. These lessons contain a minimum list of +3998 words found to be used most frequently. You will notice, also, that +beginning with grade three there are in each grade supplementary +lessons, marked S-1, S-2, etc. These lessons include 580 additional +words which are somewhat less frequently used. The supplementary lessons +are distributed by grades, so that pupils who finish the minimum work +for any grade will have additional lessons to study for the remainder of +the year. However, before undertaking these supplementary lessons, the +teacher should make sure that her pupils have learned thoroughly the +minimum list which contains the important words. + +=Plan of Review.=--The provision for the complete elimination of +spelling errors is particularly efficient and thoroughgoing. Not only +are those words which most commonly give difficulty arranged for, but +the method of testing insures that each pupil will eliminate his own +peculiar errors. No pains have been spared to obtain this thoroughness +without wasting the pupils' time in mere routine review. + +During the week in which each lesson is taught for the first time, +each pupil is tested three times on every word in the lesson. He +spends his time in concentrated attack on the words which have given +him difficulty. One month later this lesson is given as a test, and +the words missed by each pupil re-learned by him. At the end of the +week this lesson is again given as a test. + +In addition, at the beginning of each grade above the first, the words +which have been previously taught, but which according to Doctor +Ashbaugh's investigation still give difficulty, are thoroughly +reviewed. Finally, in the seventh grade, the words which are most +frequently missed by grammar grade pupils are given additional review. + +It must be kept in mind that these reviews are not haphazard, nor are +they a matter of guesswork. Each review list is made up on the basis +of the most careful scientific study of persistent errors. + +=Grading.=--The lessons in each grade are those which the pupils in +that grade may most profitably study. The words have been graded in +the following manner: On the basis of Doctor Horn's compilation of +correspondence vocabularies, all of the 4578 words were ranked +according to the frequency with which they are used in correspondence. +On the basis of Doctor Ashbaugh's study of the difficulty of these +words in the various grades, the words were arranged in order of ease +of spelling. With these two sources of data, the lessons are arranged +so that in general the easiest words and those most commonly and +frequently used are placed in the lower grades. In addition, on the +basis of scientific analysis of the vocabulary of first, second, and +third readers, the authors determined which words occurred most often +in these readers. The words included in the lessons for the first +three grades are not only easy and fairly common, but are found also +in popular readers of the grades in which they are placed. For +example, the word "and" was found 23,773 times in the letters analyzed +in the various investigations upon which the book is based; and it is +misspelled by but four second grade children out of a hundred. It also +occurs in every one of ten commonly used first readers. Since it is +one of the very commonest words, is easy to spell, and is found in all +first readers, it is placed in the first list in the book. In a +similar way every lesson in the first three grades has been a matter +of computation. The lessons in grades above the third have been made +in the same careful fashion, except that occurrences in readers were +not taken into consideration. It is clear that the lessons increase +gradually in difficulty in each successive grade, and that a pupil who +is forced to leave school at the end of grade six or seven will have +learned the words which he is most likely to need in writing. + +=Standard Scores.=--By means of standard errors at the close of each +lesson, the pupils and teachers may compare results with those of +other grades and with those obtained in the country at large. These +standards were taken from the Ashbaugh Scale and from a supplementary +study conducted by Doctor Ashbaugh and Doctor Horn to determine the +standards for words not included in the original scale. It must be +kept in mind that these standard errors are high, being the result of +the present unfavorable conditions of the teaching of spelling in the +country at large. They are used merely for the purpose of comparison. +The ideal to keep before your class is that they should learn their +lessons so that they will not misspell a single word, but this ideal +is intensified by the use of the standard errors. + +=How to Teach the Lesson.=--Four points must be kept in mind as more +important than any others: + +1. The teacher must test her pupils on each lesson before they begin +to study. + +2. Each pupil should study only the words which he misspelled on the +test. + +3. He must be taught an economical method of study. + +4. He must see clearly what progress he is making. + +Detailed suggestions for teaching the lessons are given in the +paragraphs which follow. These suggestions are based upon the +investigations reviewed by Doctor Horn in the Eighteenth Yearbook of +the National Society for the Study of Education. The method has been +tried out thoroughly in public school classrooms, and has proved +uniformly successful. Teachers are urged to follow it as closely as +possible. If, however, the teacher prefers another method of study, +she may use it. The book may be used with any method. + +=Getting Started Right.=--The first few lessons may well be spent in +systematizing class procedure and teaching pupils how to study a +spelling lesson. Begin by pointing out the importance of spelling. +Give cases, if possible, where people have been discredited because of +spelling errors in letters. Discuss with the class how the words in +this book were selected, how the standard errors at the close of each +lesson were secured, and how the method of study was determined. The +pupils may now be introduced to the procedure which will be used in +conducting the spelling class, and to the method of study. + +=Teaching Pupils How to Work.=--Many teachers have found the following +procedure very satisfactory. Have the pupils open their books at the +first lesson for their grade. Explain to them that a great many men +have spent much time and money in finding out the best way to learn to +spell, and that the method which is to be used is based on what these +men have recommended. Have the class read the directions to pupils +given on pages xiv-xvi. After the directions have been read, have +several pupils summarize them. When you have made sure that the class +has the main points clearly in mind, the actual work of habituating +the method may be begun. The first few lessons in each term should +consist of practice in the method of study. This practice should be +continued until you are satisfied that the pupils understand +thoroughly how to go about their work. Remember that even though +teachers in the preceding grades are using the method, there may be +pupils in your grade who are new to the system, as well as some who +have forgotten how to study. From the nature of the method, it is easy +to detect any child who is not using it. Insist that the correct +method be used from the outset. As soon as the pupils have learned the +method of study, the regular work of learning the lessons may begin. + +=How the Lessons Should be Taught.=--The lessons are planned to be +completed in a week. A week's work, therefore, consists of twenty new +words and twenty review words except in grade one, where the week's +work consists of ten new words and ten review words. The following +schedule is recommended. + +=Monday.=--The first step in teaching a lesson is an exercise in +pronunciation. Have the pupils open their books at the advanced +lesson. Pronounce each word, enunciating the syllables very +distinctly. Each word which in your judgment is not understood by the +class should be used in a sentence. All homonyms should be so used. +Have the pupils pronounce each word after you in concert, enunciating +the syllables very distinctly. Insist on careful pronunciation on the +part of every pupil. + +This exercise precedes the spelling test because of the importance of +pronunciation in the method of study, and because of the probability +that this initial attention to the correct form of the word is +desirable. Since the pupils undoubtedly learn something as a result of +this exercise, they may be expected to make somewhat better scores +than those given in the book. These scores are the results of tests +given without such a preliminary exercise in pronunciation. + +After all the words have been pronounced, have the pupils close their +texts and prepare papers for a written test. This test will include +the new lesson. It may be written on any sort of paper, the words +being written in columns of twenty to correspond to the arrangement of +the words in the book. Pronounce each word once only. Pupils should +write the words without hesitation. No alterations in the first +attempt at spelling the word should be allowed. + +After the words have all been dictated, have the pupils exchange +papers for the purpose of correcting. Be sure that each pupil +understands that he is marking his neighbor's paper, so that errors +which have been made may be corrected. Instruct the class to mark a +word wrong if it is misspelled, if it cannot be read, or if any change +in the first attempt at spelling has been made. Be sure that each +pupil understands that, until he is able to write a word correctly the +first time, he has not sufficiently learned it. + +The words may be corrected on the basis of the teacher's oral spelling +or by the book. Each word found to be misspelled should be marked +wrong by placing after it an =X=. + +When the papers have been returned to the owners, each pupil should +write the correct form of the words which he has misspelled. The words +missed on the test will constitute his task for the week. + +=Tuesday.=--On Tuesday the pupils study, each working on his own +errors and using the method recommended under directions to pupils. +Pupils who made no errors on the test may be excused from this study +period, but not from the succeeding test. It frequently happens that a +pupil will spell a word correctly on one test and misspell it on a +following test. + +The teacher should closely supervise the pupils' study in order to +insure that proper methods of learning are used. She may also help to +direct the work of those who, having made no errors on the preceding +test, have been allowed to undertake some other task. The class should +not be tested on this day. + +=Wednesday.=--Test on the new and on the review lesson. This review +lesson should consist of a lesson taught one month before. Since the +first four lessons in each grade are made up of words taught in the +preceding grade, these may well be used for the first month as review +lessons. The words may be corrected and the errors recorded as on +Monday. Compare the number of errors made on this test with those made +on the preceding test. This comparison will show the pupil what +progress he has made. The remainder of the period may be spent in +studying the words missed on this test. + +=Thursday.=--Study as on Tuesday. + +=Friday.=--Test on the new and on the review lesson, correct the +papers as on Monday, and spend the rest of the period studying the +errors made on this final test. Compare the number of errors made on +this test with the number made on the first and second tests. The +comparison gives the child a measure of accomplishment for the week. +The teacher should check this day's papers in order to have an +accurate record of the status of the pupils at the close of the week's +work. Many teachers have found it helpful to keep a chart of progress +on the blackboard. + +=Individual Instruction.=--It is clear from the preceding directions +that the method of learning and the class administration are intended to +insure that each pupil will learn those words which give him difficulty, +and that he will, at the same time, progress at his own rate. With the +possible exception of the fact that only the commonly used words are +taught, this is the most important provision in the book. + +=The Spelling Notebook.=--It has been found to be very helpful to have +each pupil keep a notebook in which to record words missed in the +various spelling tests or in papers written in connection with other +subjects. This notebook tends to make the pupil more conscientious +with regard to his spelling. It also gives him a record of his errors +so that when he has time for review work he can utilize it properly. + +=The Problem of Interest.=--Teachers who have used the method which is +here recommended have been unanimous in reporting not only that the +pupils learned more rapidly, but also that they worked with greater +enthusiasm. This increased interest is secured without any use of soft +pedagogy. It comes from several sources. First, the pupils know that +the words in the book are those most commonly needed in writing. +Second, the pupils quickly see the advantage of centering their +efforts on words which they have actually missed. Third, by means of +standard scores they are enabled to compare their spelling ability +with that of children in other parts of the country. Fourth, they can +see what they are accomplishing. Fifth, these provisions make possible +the joy which comes from doing vigorously and thoroughly a clean-cut +task that needs to be done. These are the interests which appeal to +sensible men and women in life outside the school, and they have +proved sufficient for children. Many attempts have been made to +substitute devices for these wholesome and fundamental interests. Such +attempts not only fail in their purpose, but actually distract the +child's mind from the work he has to do. Sugar-coating inevitably +destroys the child's appetite for healthy vigorous work. + + + + +DIRECTIONS TO PUPILS + + +=Why These Words Should be Studied.=--One of the ways by which people +judge the writer of a letter is by the presence or absence of spelling +errors. Often a young man or young woman has failed to obtain a +desirable position because of spelling errors in a letter of +application. Even in the ordinary friendly letter, spelling errors +make a bad impression. The words which you are to learn from this +spelling book are the words which people most frequently use in +writing letters. Thousands of letters were read, and each word found +was recorded. This book, therefore, contains the words most commonly +used in writing, and does not contain any word which has not been +found in letters. + +=How to Learn the Words.=--The first step in the study of each lesson +will be an exercise in pronunciation. Your teacher will pronounce each +word for you. Look at your book closely, noticing each syllable as she +pronounces it. When the teacher asks you to pronounce the word after +her, look at each syllable closely as _you_ pronounce it. + +The second step in learning the lesson is the test. Write each word as +plainly as you can and without hesitation. The purpose of this test +is to see whether or not there are any words in the lesson which you +cannot spell. The words which you cannot spell will be your work in +spelling for the week. + +If your teacher asks you to exchange papers for the purpose of +correcting them, be sure to do your work very carefully. If you fail to +mark a word wrong that has been misspelled, the pupil whose paper you +marked will not be able to know that the word should be studied, and so +will suffer an injury. On the other hand, it will be very confusing if +you mark a word wrong which is really correct. Mark any word wrong that +you cannot easily read; also any word if a letter has been written over +or a change made. Remember that the purpose of the test is to find out +which words need to be studied. The grades of the pupil whose papers you +correct are not affected in any way by your marking. + +=The Meaning of "The Standard Number of Errors."=--The words in this +book have been given to a great many children in each grade in a number +of cities. In that way it was possible to find out the number of errors +which children of each grade ordinarily make. If you will compare the +number of errors which you make on the test with the number of errors at +the bottom of your lesson, you will be able to see how your spelling +compares with that of pupils in other parts of the country. + +=How to Learn to Spell a Word.=--A great many men have spent much time +and money in finding out for you the best way to learn to spell. The +directions which follow are based on what these men have discovered. + +1. The first thing to do in learning to spell a word is to pronounce +it correctly. Pronounce the word, saying each syllable very +distinctly, and looking closely at each syllable as you say it. + +2. With closed eyes try to see the word in your book, syllable by +syllable, as you pronounce it in a whisper. In pronouncing the words, +be sure to say each syllable distinctly. After saying the word, keep +trying to recall how the word looked in your book, and at the same +time say the letters. Spell by syllables. + +3. Open your eyes, and look at the word to see whether or not you had +it right. + +4. Look at the word again, saying the syllables very distinctly. If +you did not have the word right on your first trial, say the letters +this time as you look sharply at the syllables. + +5. Try again with closed eyes to see the word as you spell the +syllables in a whisper. + +6. Look again at your book to see if you had the word right. Keep +trying until you can spell each syllable correctly with closed eyes. + +7. When you feel sure that you have learned the word, write it without +looking at your book, and then compare your attempt with the book to +see whether or not you wrote it correctly. + +8. Now write the word three times, covering each trial with your hand +before you write the word the next time, so that you cannot copy. If +all of these trials are right, you may say that you have learned the +word for the present. If you make a single mistake, begin with the +first direction and go through each step again. + +9. Study each word by this method. Take special pains to attend closely +to each step in the method. Hard and careful work is what counts. + +=Take Pains with Your Spelling in all Writing.=--Take pride in having +your compositions and letters free from spelling errors. When you are +in the slightest doubt as to how to spell a word, look it up in the +dictionary before you write it. When you have found the word in the +dictionary, learn it by the method by which you study your regular +spelling lessons. In a similar way, if you do make a mistake in +spelling in your compositions, learn the word which you misspelled by +this same method. + +=Reviews.=--Whenever you have a few minutes after having prepared some +lesson, turn back to the errors which you have made on previous +spelling tests and spend some time going over the words which you +missed on those tests. Occasionally when you are at home, you will +find it interesting to have your mother or father or some friend test +you over all the words you have missed during the year. You should not +be satisfied until you can spell every word correctly. + +=Notebook.=--Keep a spelling notebook. Whether your teacher requires +it or not, you will find it very much worth while to keep a spelling +notebook. In this you should record all words missed on any test or in +compositions which you write. If you find that you are frequently +missing a word, write it in a special list and review it frequently. + + + + +FIRST GRADE DIRECTIONS TO FIRST GRADE TEACHERS + + +The words in the lessons for first grade children are few in number and +relatively easy. You will notice that most of them are phonetic. Each +word has been found to be used in correspondence and in a majority of +first grade readers. This list is therefore particularly appropriate for +first grade children and may be easily learned by them. The authors +recommend that this work be begun in the second half year. + +=Directions for Teaching.=--Read again the general directions on pages +vii to xvi, inclusive. In general the method used in grade one is the +same as that used in later grades. There are, however, certain +important differences. You will notice, for example, that first grade +lessons contain ten instead of twenty words. You will need also to +give more attention for the first two or three weeks to initiating +correct habits of study. Remember that teachers above grade one will +build upon habits which you initiate. + +The words in the first grade list are very simple, so that there +should be no difficulty in learning to spell them. Neither should the +children have any difficulty in understanding any of the one hundred +fifty words. + +=Directions for Schools in Which the Pupils do Not Write in Grade +One.=--The pupils in such schools should be taught to study according to +the first six directions given under How to Learn to Spell a Word, page +xv. The tests in these cases will have to be oral tests. Otherwise, +the methods recommended in the general directions may be used. + + + 1 2 3 4 + + is be but that + + and can dear to-day + + are dog did up + + day good do was + + he my go an + + in see his as + + it she little big + + me you look come + + all book not for + + at boy out get + +Standard Number of Errors + + I.

The new +words are all words frequently used, are words which second grade +children can learn easily and, for the most part, are frequently found +in the second readers most commonly used. You will find that the +method outlined below will enable you to teach these words so that +your classes will make very nearly a perfect score on them. + +=Directions for Teaching.=--Read again the directions for teaching as +given on pages vii to xvi. You will find it advisable to take some +time at the beginning of the term to teach pupils how to study. You +will still find it necessary to correct the papers yourself. You may +follow the same schedule as that outlined in the general directions. +Watch particularly for improper methods of study. + +Second grade pupils should write their tests without hesitation and +with fair speed. Explain to the pupils with great care that letters +which are not made plainly will be counted wrong. + +Remember that the lessons are arranged by weeks rather than by days. +The work for each week consists of one advance column and one review +column. The review column in each case is the fourth column preceding +the advance work. That is, it is made up of a week's work one month +old. For example, column 5 contains 20 new words to be learned in one +week. During the same week, column 1 should be reviewed.

The supplementary list contains 80 words, which +although easy to spell are not so frequently used in writing letters +as are the words of the minimum list. This supplementary list is meant +for those schools which because of the long school term or for other +reasons, finish the minimum list before the end of the term or year. +The lessons marked R-1, R-2, R-3, R-4, are made up of the eighty words +taught in preceding grades, but which still give considerable +difficulty to third grade children. They should be thoroughly mastered. + +=Directions for Teacher.=--For the first few lessons direct your +attention to systematizing class procedure and to teaching pupils how +to study effectively. Read carefully again the suggestions on pages +vii to xvi. + +Pupils in the third grade should be able to make their own corrections +so that time may now be saved by having the pupils exchange papers +during the first two tests. The teacher should continue to correct the +papers written on the final test. The following suggestions will be +helpful in getting the coöperation of pupils. After the papers have +been exchanged say, "In writing, it is important not only that you +know how to spell, but also that you make your letters so that the +person who reads your paper can tell easily what you have written. +This is the reason that I have asked you to exchange papers. Many +people write so that certain letters cannot be told from other +letters. This is true of z, g, and y; o and a; t and l; n and u; h and +k. When you correct papers and cannot tell which of two letters the +writer intended, mark the word wrong. Also mark it wrong if a letter +has been written over or a change made. Words should be learned so +that they will be written correctly without hesitation the first time. +Any word which has not been learned so that it may be written +correctly the first time should be studied again. + +"Remember that the purpose of this test is to find out which words need +further study. It does not affect your grades. You will do the pupil +whose paper you have a favor by marking his errors so that he may +correct them. Mark each error by placing after it a cross--so (x)." + +Pupils should keep a special list of words which they have missed in +their compositions. These words should be studied by the same method +used in studying the regular spelling lesson. Such words will not be +taken up, however, in the regular lessons. + +Remember that the lessons are arranged by weeks rather than by days. +The work for each week consists of one advance column and one review +column. The review column in each case is the fourth column preceding +the advance work. That is, it is made up of a week's work one month +old. For example, column 5 contains 20 new words to be learned in one +week. During the same week, column 1 should be reviewed.

to 32, and +contain 620 new words of the minimum list.

In +addition to these eighty review words, there is one review lesson +containing homonyms. There are also two supplementary lessons made up +of words which are new but which are not so commonly used as those in +the minimum list. As in preceding grades, these supplementary lessons +are introduced in order to afford additional work for classes which +finish the regular lessons before the end of the year. There are also +two lessons containing names of the months, days of the week, and +certain abbreviations. + +=Directions for Teaching.=--Read carefully the suggestions on pages vii +to xvi. Read also the suggestions to teachers of the first four +grades. See to it that your pupils attack their lessons in an +aggressive manner. The pupils in grade five do considerable work in +written composition, so it will be well to watch very closely the +errors made in such work. Have the pupils learn all words misspelled +in their written work, using the same method as in their regular +spelling lessons. + +Remember that the lessons are arranged by weeks rather than by days. +The work for each week consists of one advance column and one review +column. The review column in each case is the fourth column preceding +the advance work. That is, it is made up of a week's work one month +old.

The style of +business letters must be clear, direct, and dignified. With certain +exceptions, as in sales letters, such letters are usually made very +impersonal. On the other hand, personal letters are quite properly +regarded by many as a sort of conversation in writing. In writing to +friends or to relatives one usually desires to be informal. One of the +ways of achieving this informality is through the use of colloquial +English and contractions. In the past, many teachers of English have +cautioned students against the use of contractions in letters; but an +examination of the correspondence of writers whose letters are +regarded as models shows that most of these authors use contractions +very freely. If you will read the letters of Henry Adams, Stevenson, +Gray, Henry James, Lamb, Carroll, Walpole, Keats, Emily Dickinson, +Thackeray, Dickens, and others, you will see that in writing to +friends and members of their families they wrote much as they would +have chatted with those to whom the letters were addressed. + +In general, then, contractions are to be used only in informal or +friendly correspondence. In letters to strangers and in most business +correspondence they should be avoided. Perhaps the best guide to the +proper use of contractions is to be found in the models of writers who +are famous for their personal letters. + + can't "You can't be too careful." (Lamb) + + don't "... for, O, I don't know how long." (Stevenson) + + doesn't "He doesn't agree with them all ..." (Stevenson) + + won't "This sort of thing won't do." (H. James) + + it's "...

(Carroll) + + + + +DICTATION EXERCISES + + +The following letters contain a large number of words which occur with +relatively high frequency in correspondence, and are quite likely to +be misspelled by persons of eighth grade education. They should be +dictated in short phrases of three to five words without repetition, +pausing after each dictated phrase for the children to write. The rate +should be such, however, that the dictation and writing will be +completed in the time designated in the note preceding each letter. On +the average this will be about one and one-half lines per minute. A +little practice will enable the teacher to dictate at this rate +without difficulty. + +Pupils should be able to write these letters at the given speed +without hesitation or error of spelling before they have completed the +work of this grade. + + +LETTER NO. 1 + +This letter should be dictated in three sections. The first exercise +extends to the end of the first paragraph, including the heading and +salutation, and should be written in 8 minutes. The second exercise +includes the second and third paragraphs and should be written in 9 +minutes. The third exercise completes the letter and should be written +in 6-1/2 minutes. + + Des Moines, Iowa, + June 2, 1920. + + DEAR MAMMA, + +I suppose you feel that I have been very slow about writing, but I +haven't had a minute for either letter writing or pleasure the past +few days. I took my last test this forenoon--the terrible and much +dreaded literature examination. It lasted from ten o'clock until noon, +and though it was different from what I had expected I think I got +along all right. I probably won't get an excellent grade, for I just +had to make a guess at one answer I didn't know, but you can't imagine +how happy I am to be all through. Tomorrow will be the last day of +school and our superintendent is going to let us celebrate with a +class party. + +Aunt Lucy wants me to stay with her another month, but I am coming +home Saturday, for I know I'll be eager to get back to the farm just +as soon as we have good weather again. Last Sunday I accepted Edith's +invitation to spend the day with her. She lives about thirty miles +from Des Moines, and I enjoyed the drive over the country roads. I'm +sure I'll never lose my love for the farm. + +I must tell you, too, about Edith's brother, a lieutenant, who got his +commission at the same time John did. He is personally acquainted with +John's captain and knew several other men in that company. I was very +much interested in his account of his army experiences. + +I appreciated the check you enclosed in your last letter, for I needed +some money for my new dress. I never realized before this year how much +it costs to clothe a girl. I wish you were here to advise me what kind +of material to get. I miss your judgment when I try to go shopping +alone. Aunt Lucy's voile dress has given her a great deal of service, +and so I think I'll decide on that material for my best summer dress. + +Remember me to the boys when you write, and give my love to +Grandmother. I do hope her rheumatism is better. + + Affectionately, + + HELEN. + + +LETTER NO. 2 + +This letter should be dictated in two sections. The first exercise +extends to the end of the first paragraph, including the heading and +salutation, and should be written in 12 minutes. The second exercise +completes the letter and should be written in 7 minutes. + + October 18, 1920. + + Iowa Land and Loan Company, + 706-712 Commerce Building, + Des Moines, Iowa. + + GENTLEMEN, + +We take this occasion to acknowledge the receipt of your letter of the +17th inst., and sincerely appreciate the interest which you have shown +in our association. We must find a permanent location for our +Chautauqua, and believe that we have found lots which will be +satisfactory, especially since they are in a really pleasant locality, +convenient to the college. Since it will be necessary to investigate +this business opportunity immediately, we are referring the matter to +a committee and we feel the analysis of the situation will be +complete. The committee to which this matter is referred will probably +recommend giving a mortgage but quite certainly will receive advice on +this point from representative citizens. The money to carry on the +investigation is in the First National Bank, the certificate of +deposit being in the hands of the treasurer of the association. + +If possible the members of the association would like to issue the +bulletin which contains the course by the beginning of the season, +whether the matter of permanent grounds is thoroughly investigated, or +not. Experience has taught us, too, that the bulletins are received +with more enthusiasm at an early date. + +The truly awful accident of last year in which two people were killed +when the tent fell will have its influence on our present campaign for +a permanent building. + +Kindly give this matter your attention at your earliest convenience. + + Respectfully yours, + + HENRY JONES. + + +LETTER NO. 3 + +This letter should be dictated in two sections. The first exercise +extends to the end of the second paragraph and should be written in 7 +minutes. The second exercise completes the letter and should be +written in 9 minutes. + + Minneapolis, Minnesota, + March 26, 1920. + + DEAR FATHER, + +You can see from the article which I enclose that we did not +disappoint our principal, even though it has been impossible to +practice during the past week. Under the circumstances it doesn't seem +possible that we could have won, but maybe our success was due to +having no practice before the game. Some of the teams seemed rather +over-trained. + +The coach changed me to right forward, although, as you know, I +usually play at guard. I suppose there was a doubt in his mind as to +whether I could guard the tall forwards on some of the teams. + +Our team never played together better. We didn't have so great a +variety of plays as some of the other teams, but relied almost +entirely upon our short passing game. What I liked especially was that +there wasn't a single poor official. One of the officials was the man +who spoke last fall on our community health program. + +I suppose the team will reach home Saturday night. I am sure that we +ought not to stay here later than Saturday noon. The teams were +entertained at the various fraternity houses and the men have been +very much crowded to make room for us. We certainly appreciate the +good treatment we have received from these men and from everyone. + + Affectionately, your son, + + HARRY. + + +LETTER NO. 4 + +This letter should be dictated in three sections. The first exercise +extends to the end of the second paragraph, including the heading and +the salutation, and should be written in 9 minutes. The second +exercise includes the rest of the letter and should be written in 12 +minutes. Not more than one exercise should be given in one day. + + Newark, New Jersey, + December 3, 1920. + + Mr. Frank A. Hardy, Managing Editor, + National Insurance Journal, + Boston, Massachusetts. + + MY DEAR MR. HARDY, + +I am glad to make an immediate reply to your inquiry of December 1, +regarding Miss Henry's qualifications. + +It is now eight years since Miss Henry first took a position with us. +She began as mail clerk, working up rapidly through the ranks, until she +became private secretary to Mr. Baldwin, President of the Central +Insurance Company, in which capacity she has served for four years, +becoming an important part of the institution. We have found her always +courteous, thoroughly efficient in her work, and absolutely reliable. + +She is well equipped for a position on an insurance publication because +of her magazine writing, which she has been doing in connection with a +course in journalism at the university this year. She has been most +successful in this work and hopes to find time to do more of it during +the summer term if her schedule will permit. It was only because of her +great desire to continue her education that we were willing to accept +her resignation, and we knew that this year's work at the university +would mean a broader field for her in the future. + +I am enclosing a record of Miss Henry's work, on the usual form kept +for each employee, showing the approximate progress she made during +her eight years with us and her increased value to the company, and I +am also sending under separate cover Miss Henry's photograph, as you +suggested. + +Hoping I may hear from you further if there is any additional +information you require, I am + + Very sincerely yours, + + JOHN SMITH. + + + + +SUPPLEMENT WHICH CONTAINS CERTAIN RULES AND DEFINITIONS OFTEN TAUGHT +AS A PART OF THE COURSE OF STUDY IN SPELLING + + +As a part of the course of study in spelling, there is occasionally +found a provision for word study and for teaching certain rules and +definitions. The following supplement is added as a guide in schools +which make such a requirement. Ordinarily such topics as derivation of +words, root prefixes, suffixes, homonyms, antonyms, synonyms, and +hyphens are taught, either as a part of composition or as a part of +dictionary exercises. + +The value of teaching spelling rules is still somewhat a matter of +controversy, although the weight of experimental evidence seems to +indicate that children do not profit from a study of the rules in +spelling, as much as they profit from the same amount of time spent in +the direct study of the important words covered by these rules. +However, since some city and state courses of study require the +teaching of the rules, it seems advisable to put the more important +rules in this supplement. + +An effort has been made to state these rules in the simplest manner +possible, within the limits of accuracy. Great care has been taken, +also, to tabulate, for each rule, the words frequently used in +correspondence, which are exceptions. + +The teacher should understand clearly that it is not the intention of +the authors to have these rules take the place of the direct teaching +of any word. Rather they are to be regarded as supplementary +exercises. It is doubtful whether much attention should be given to +rules before grade seven. + + +DERIVATION OF WORDS + +Often one word is built up from several words or syllables. The most +important part of such a built-up word is called the root, or base. +This root or base had an original meaning which is usually clear, +especially in purely English words, as in-side, happi-ness, etc. Many +built-up or derivative words are from other languages. A few examples +may help to illustrate: + + 1. international--Latin inter (between) plus nation (nation) plus + al (pertaining to)--between nations, pertaining to intercourse + between nations. + + The root is "nation." + + 2. extraordinary--Latin extra (on the outside, out of) plus + ordinarius (ordinary)--out of the ordinary, unusual. + + The root is "ordinar." + + 3. provide--Latin pro (before) plus vid (to look or see)--to look + before or ahead, to look out for in advance. + + The root is "vid." + + 4. convention--Latin con (together) plus ven (to come) plus tion + (act of)--act of coming together--meeting. + + The root is "ven." + + Many roots or bases are taken directly from the English: + + 1. out-come--act of coming out--that which comes out of something + else--result. + + 2. in-side--inner side or surface. + + 3. cheer-ful--full of cheer. + + 4. happi-ness--state of being happy. + +In studying these words, you may have noticed that something besides +the root or base is needed to make the meaning clear. The other two +parts which help to make up words are called prefixes and suffixes. +These will be taken up separately. + + +PREFIXES + +A prefix is a word or syllable placed before another word, and so +completely joined to it that it changes the meaning of the basic word. + + NOTE TO TEACHER:--Have the pupils select in the lessons of your + grade, words which have similar prefixes. + +As you can see in the list below, the final consonant of a prefix has +often been changed to make the pronunciation easier, but does not +disappear when added to the stem. Thus, ad-cord became ac-cord, +ad-fect became af-fect, etc. + + =Prefix= | =Definition= | =Illustration= + | | + ab (abs, a) |from, away |abandon + | | + ad (ac, af, ag, al, an, ap, | | + ar, as, at) |to |accommodate + | | + ante |before |antecedent + | | + circum |about, around |circumstance + | | + com (co, col, con, cor) |with, together |compare, concert + | | + de |from, down, away |desert, debate + | | + dis (dif, de) |apart, not |disobey + | | + ex (e, ef) |out, out of, away from, | + | off, beyond |expect + | | + extra |out of |extraordinary + | | + in (ill, im, ir) |in, into, not, without |inside + | | + inter |among, between, mutually|interurban + | | + non |not |nonsense + | | + per |through, by, for |perhaps + | | + post |behind, after |postpone + | | + pre |before |prevent + | | + pro |forward, before, instead|provide + | | + re |back, again, against |return + | | + se |aside, apart, without |separate + | | + sub (suc, suf, sug, sup, | | + sur) |under, below, near |subject, succeed + | | + super |over, above, beyond |superintendent + | | + trans (tran, tra) |across, over, beyond, | + | through |transfer, travel + + +SUFFIXES + +A suffix is a syllable or word which is added to the end of another +word to change the meaning of the basic word. + + NOTE TO TEACHER:--As the suffix is often closely connected with + the root of the word, not much stress will be laid on learning + suffixes by themselves. A few of the more common ones will be + noted. + + =Suffix=| =Definition= | =Illustration= + | | + ful |with or full of |cheerful + | | + less |without |careless, doubtless + | | + ness |state of being |happiness + | | + ly |like or like in manner |happily + | | + ment |act, state, a thing that|development + | | + some |act of being |lonesome + + +HOMONYMS + +A homonym is a word pronounced exactly like another, but differing +from it in meaning. A few homonyms are spelled in the same way, as +"weed," a garment, and "weed," a plant. Only a small group of the more +common type will be given here. + + NOTE TO TEACHER:--It has been deemed advisable to omit giving an + extensive list of homonyms here. You may refer the pupils to the + lists of homonyms which occur in the regular spelling lessons of + the first five grades. For example, the following lists are among + those which contain homonyms:--16 in grade I; 18, 19, 20, in + grade II; 12 words in 28 of grade III; 32 in grade IV; etc. + + =Word= | =Definition= | =Sentence= + | | + 1. flour |a fine meal of ground wheat | + | or other grain |Mother uses flour in baking + | | bread. + | | + flower|a blossom |The rose is a beautiful + | | flower. + | | + 2. no |not, not any |I have no work to do. + | | + know |to understand |Do you know your lesson? + | | + 3. son |a male child; the male offspring| + | of a parent, father or mother |John is my son. + | | + sun |the heavenly body which produces|The sun rises in the east. + | the light of day | + + +SYNONYMS + +Synonyms are words that have almost the same meaning. If you were to +look up the simple words "cut" and "ask" you would find the following +synonyms: + +For "cut"--carve, lance, bite, dissect, snip, saw, slice, slit, slash, +etc. + +For "ask"--beg, crave, entreat, beseech, implore, move, plead, +solicit, etc. No two of these synonyms mean exactly the same thing, +but they express different shades of the same meaning. + +Practice Exercises: Find as many synonyms as you can for the following +words: + + best + decide + effort + deceive + imagine + dark + time + form + pleasure + public + +Any lesson in the book may be used for an exercise in discovering +synonyms. + + +ANTONYMS + +Words of opposite meaning are called antonyms. For example, +black--white; big--little; and open--closed, are so named. + +Practice Exercises: Try to think of antonyms for the following words: + + cold + come + dull + inside + fat + front + good + high + in + large + up + long + new + poor + slow + spring + sweet + tall + wet + winter + + +THE HYPHEN + +Authorities differ in regard to the use of the hyphen. However, there +are two rules which always hold good: (1). The hyphen is used to +separate compound adjectives; (2). The hyphen is used to show, at the +end of a line, that a word has been divided. (Such a word must be +divided between syllables.) In other cases, when you cannot decide +whether or not to use a hyphen, consult the dictionary used in your +school. It is much less frequently used than formerly. + + +RULES FOR SPELLING + +=I. Formation of Possessives= + +1. The following list is made up of words in the singular number. To +form the possessive, add an apostrophe and "s." + + horse's head + man's coat + girl's dress + boy's shoes + soldier's uniform + child's laugh + sheep's wool + sister's hat + +2. The following list is made up of plural nouns that do not end in +"s." To form the possessive, add an apostrophe and "s." + + children's clothes + men's shirts + women's praise + gentlemen's plans + +3. The following list is made up of plural nouns ending in "s." + +To form the possessive, add only an apostrophe. + + miles' walk + girls' clothing + years' word + pupils' attention + +=II. Treatment of the final consonant before a suffix= + +1. The following list contains words of one syllable. Notice that each +word ends in a consonant, and that in every word there is a single +short vowel preceding it. In all such words, the final consonant is +doubled before adding a suffix beginning with a vowel. + + big--bigg (er) (est) + drop--dropp(ed) (ing) + stop--stopp(ed) (ing) + plan--plann(ed) (ing) + begin--beginn(er) (ing) + +2. The following list contains verbs of more than one syllable. Each +verb is accented on the last syllable, and ends in a single consonant +preceded by a single short vowel. In such verbs, the final consonant +is doubled before a suffix beginning with a vowel. + + beginn(ing) + referr(ed) (ing) + occurr(ed) + forgott(en) + remitt(ance) + +=III. Adding suffixes to words ending in "e"= + +1. A word ending in silent "e" drops the "e" before a vowel, as: + + come--coming + hope--hoping + serve--serving + appreciate--appreciating + vote--voting + +2. When a suffix beginning with a consonant is added to a word ending +in "e," the "e" is kept. + + announce--announce-ment + hope--hope-ful + late--late-ly + care--care-less + lone--lone-some + +3. "E" is retained to keep the soft sound of "c" and "g" before "a" +and "o" as in notice--notice-able, and advantage--advantage-ous. + +=Exceptions:= + +Of the words commonly used in writing letters the following exceptions +are to be made: + +a. When a suffix beginning with a consonant is added to a word ending +in "e": + +(1) Only three words drop "e" before adding "ment": judgment, +acknowledgment, argument. + +(2) Only one word drops "e" before adding "ful": awful. + +(3) Only three words drop "e" before adding "ly": + + true--truly + due--duly + whole--wholly + +b. When the last syllable of a word ends in "le," "ly" does not make a +new syllable, as: probable---probably, possible--possibly, +simple--simply. + +(When "ly" is added to words ending in "l," both "l's" are retained, +as: practical--practically, careful--carefully.) + +=IV. Treatment of the final "y"= + +1. To form the plural of a noun ending in "y" preceded by a consonant, +change the "y" to "i" and add "es." + + lady--ladies + quantity--quantities + quality--qualities + +2. When a verb ends in "y" preceded by a consonant, change the "y" to +"i" and add "es" to form the third person singular of the verb. To +form the past tense of the verb, change the "y" to "i" and add "ed." + + fry--fries + cry--cries + bury--buried + carry--carried + +3. When a word ends in "y" preceded by a vowel, form the plural by +adding "s." + + turkey--turkeys + chimney--chimneys + valley--valleys + +4. When "y" is preceded by a consonant, change it to "i" before a +suffix which does not begin with "i," as in business, readily, +happiness, etc. + +Retain "y" in such words as: hurrying, crying, flying, etc. + +=V. Treatment and use of the apostrophe= + +1. Put the apostrophe in the place of the absent letter or letters: +aren't, don't, didn't, can't, I'll, etc. + +2. Possessives of personal pronouns have no apostrophe, as: its, hers, +ours, yours, etc. + +=VI. Irregular Plurals= + +Some words ending in "f" or "fe" form their plurals by changing the +"f" or "fe" to "v" and adding "es." + + half--halves + knife--knives + life--lives + leaf--leaves + calf--calves + wife--wives + +=VII. Confusion of "ei" and "ie"= + + NOTE TO TEACHER:--Experimental evidence does not seem to show + that this rule is very effective, but if it is taught, the + following presentation is recommended. + +Whenever "i" and "e" occur together in one syllable, and are +pronounced as "[=e]" or "[)e]," it is always "i" before "e" except +after "c" (see). When sounded like "[=a]" it is always "e" before "i." +Some have used the following jingle to help fix the rule: + + "i" before "e" + Except after "c" + Or when sounded like "a" + As in neighbor or weigh. + +Four of the words most commonly used in writing letters are exceptions +to these rules: neither, leisure, foreign, height. + + + + +Transcriber's Note: + + + * Text enclosed between equal signs was in bold face in the + original (=bold=). + + * Punctuation errors have been corrected. + + * All misprinted reference pages throughout the book have been + corrected (vii-xvi). + + * Pg 17 Added missing "opening quotation" before "Remember" in "Remember + that the purpose of this test ..." + + * Pg 97 Removed ")" after "I didn't see him.")" and added "(" + before "Fitzgerald". + + * Pg 97 Corrected spelling of "kindom" to "kingdom" in "... gone + to kindom come" + + * Pg 103 Corrected spelling of "expecially" to "especially" in + "... expecially since they are in ..." + + * Pg 109 Corrected spelling of "occassionally" to "occasionally" + in "... there is occassionally found ..." + + + + + +End of the Project Gutenberg EBook of Lippincott's Horn-Ashbaugh Speller, by +Ernest Horn and Ernest J.

General Information About Project Gutenberg-tm electronic +works. + +Professor Michael S. Hart is the originator of the Project Gutenberg-tm +concept of a library of electronic works that could be freely shared +with anyone. For thirty years, he produced and distributed Project +Gutenberg-tm eBooks with only a loose network of volunteer support. + + +Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks are often created from several printed +editions, all of which are confirmed as Public Domain in the U.S. +unless a copyright notice is included. Thus, we do not necessarily +keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper edition. + + +Most people start at our Web site which has the main PG search facility: + + http://www.gutenberg.org + +This Web site includes information about Project Gutenberg-tm, +including how to make donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary +Archive Foundation, how to help produce our new eBooks, and how to +subscribe to our email newsletter to hear about new eBooks. diff --git a/33826-8.zip b/33826-8.zip Binary files differnew file mode 100644 index 0000000..0aa65fd --- /dev/null +++ b/33826-8.zip diff --git a/33826-h.zip b/33826-h.zip Binary files differnew file mode 100644 index 0000000..e5f446b --- /dev/null +++ b/33826-h.zip diff --git a/33826-h/33826-h.htm b/33826-h/33826-h.htm new file mode 100644 index 0000000..99893ba --- /dev/null +++ b/33826-h/33826-h.htm @@ -0,0 +1,5142 @@ +<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN" + "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd"> + +<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xml:lang="en" lang="en"> + <head> + <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html;charset=iso-8859-1" /> + <meta http-equiv="Content-Style-Type" content="text/css" /> + <title> + The Project Gutenberg eBook of Lippincott's Horn-Ashbaugh Speller for Grades One to Eight, by + Ernest Horn and Ernest J.

In addition, preceding the word list +for each grade will be found supplementary directions +to aid the teachers in facing the problems peculiar to +that grade.</p> + +<p>Special attention is called to the elaborate provision for +making the pupil intelligent and responsible in his attack +on his own spelling problems. This result is achieved by +the testing plan which discovers to the pupil his deficiencies; +by the standard scores which enable him to compare +his accomplishment with that of other children; by the +efficient method of study which is provided; and by the +unusually rigorous follow-up work given in the review +lessons. The authors therefore present this book to the +pupils and teachers of the United States as a contribution +to the solution of the problem of developing a nation of +good spellers.</p> + +<div

TEACHERS.</h2> + +<p><b>How the Teaching of Spelling May be Improved.</b>—The +teaching of spelling may be improved in three ways: first, by +selecting a better list of words for the pupil to study; second, by +placing before the pupils of each grade the words that are most +appropriate for them; and third, by introducing economical +procedures in learning. The first is the problem of the course of +study; the second, the problem of grading; and the third, the +problem of method.</p> + +<p><b>The Vocabulary.</b>—To solve the first problem one must insure +that the pupils will study all words they are likely to use in +life outside the school. One must also insure that the pupils' +time will not be wasted through their being required to learn +words which they will never use. This problem has been solved +for you by the authors of the text. The vocabulary of the lessons +is taken from a compilation which Doctor Horn has made of ten +scientific investigations of the words used in writing letters. +These investigations, taken together, represent the careful +analysis of over three-quarters of a million running words of +correspondence. If you will analyze one letter, you will see +what a very great amount of work these investigations have required. +It seems very unlikely that any word commonly and +frequently used should have been overlooked in all of these +investigations.</p> + +<p>These ten studies contain all of the information which is +available at the present time concerning what words are likely +to be used in writing letters. Accordingly, there is no word in +this speller which has not been reported in one or more of these +investigations. In addition, this vocabulary has been carefully +compared with all of the other types of reading and writing +vocabularies.</p> + +<p><span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_viii" id="Page_viii">[Pg viii]</a></span> + Among these are the studies of children's themes, such as +those by Jones, by the teachers of New Orleans, Kansas City, +and Richmond, Virginia; the various studies of adult reading +vocabularies, such as those by Eldridge and Knowles, aggregating +over 140,000 running words; the studies of the vocabulary +of school readers, such as those by Packer, Housh, and Miller, +aggregating over one-half million running words. No word has +been taken from these studies which did not occur in the investigations +of the vocabulary of personal and business letters. +On the other hand, these studies showed quite clearly that the +words found as the result of the analysis of three-quarters of a +million running words of correspondence are really basic in any +writing vocabulary.</p> + +<p>If you will examine the book, you will see that most of the +lessons are numbered with arabic numerals. These lessons contain +a minimum list of 3998 words found to be used most frequently. +You will notice, also, that beginning with grade three +there are in each grade supplementary lessons, marked S-1, S-2, +etc. These lessons include 580 additional words which are somewhat +less frequently used. The supplementary lessons are +distributed by grades, so that pupils who finish the minimum +work for any grade will have additional lessons to study for the +remainder of the year. However, before undertaking these +supplementary lessons, the teacher should make sure that her +pupils have learned thoroughly the minimum list which contains +the important words.</p> + +<p><b>Plan of Review.</b>—The provision for the complete elimination +of spelling errors is particularly efficient and thoroughgoing. +Not only are those words which most commonly give difficulty +arranged for, but the method of testing insures that each pupil +will eliminate his own peculiar errors. No pains have been +spared to obtain this thoroughness without wasting the pupils' +time in mere routine review.</p> + +<p>During the week in which each lesson is taught for the first +time, each pupil is tested three times on every word in the lesson. +He spends his time in concentrated attack on the words which +have given him difficulty. One month later this lesson is given +as a test, and the words missed by each pupil re-learned by him. +At the end of the week this lesson is again given as a test.</p> + +<p><span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_ix" id="Page_ix">[Pg ix]</a></span> + In addition, at the beginning of each grade above the first, +the words which have been previously taught, but which according +to Doctor Ashbaugh's investigation still give difficulty, +are thoroughly reviewed. Finally, in the seventh grade, the +words which are most frequently missed by grammar grade +pupils are given additional review.</p> + +<p>It must be kept in mind that these reviews are not haphazard, +nor are they a matter of guesswork. Each review list +is made up on the basis of the most careful scientific study +of persistent errors.</p> + +<p><b>Grading.</b>—The lessons in each grade are those which the +pupils in that grade may most profitably study. The words +have been graded in the following manner: On the basis of +Doctor Horn's compilation of correspondence vocabularies, all +of the 4578 words were ranked according to the frequency with +which they are used in correspondence. On the basis of Doctor +Ashbaugh's study of the difficulty of these words in the various +grades, the words were arranged in order of ease of spelling. +With these two sources of data, the lessons are arranged so that +in general the easiest words and those most commonly and +frequently used are placed in the lower grades. In addition, +on the basis of scientific analysis of the vocabulary of first, +second, and third readers, the authors determined which words +occurred most often in these readers. The words included in the +lessons for the first three grades are not only easy and fairly +common, but are found also in popular readers of the grades in +which they are placed. For example, the word "and" was found +23,773 times in the letters analyzed in the various investigations +upon which the book is based; and it is misspelled by +but four second grade children out of a hundred. It also occurs +in every one of ten commonly used first readers. Since it is one +of the very commonest words, is easy to spell, and is found in +all first readers, it is placed in the first list in the book. In a +similar way every lesson in the first three grades has been a +matter of computation. The lessons in grades above the +third have been made in the same careful fashion, except that +occurrences in readers were not taken into consideration. It is +clear that the lessons increase gradually in difficulty in each +successive grade, and that a pupil who is forced to leave school + <span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_x" id="Page_x">[Pg x]</a></span> +at the end of grade six or seven will have learned the words which +he is most likely to need in writing.</p> + +<p><b>Standard Scores.</b>—By means of standard errors at the close +of each lesson, the pupils and teachers may compare results with +those of other grades and with those obtained in the country at +large. These standards were taken from the Ashbaugh Scale +and from a supplementary study conducted by Doctor Ashbaugh +and Doctor Horn to determine the standards for words not included +in the original scale. It must be kept in mind that these +standard errors are high, being the result of the present unfavorable +conditions of the teaching of spelling in the country +at large. They are used merely for the purpose of comparison. +The ideal to keep before your class is that they should learn +their lessons so that they will not misspell a single word, but +this ideal is intensified by the use of the standard errors.</p> + +<p><b>How to Teach the Lesson.</b>—Four points must be kept in +mind as more important than any others:</p> + +<p>1. The teacher must test her pupils on each lesson before +they begin to study.</p> + +<p>2. Each pupil should study only the words which he misspelled +on the test.</p> + +<p>3. He must be taught an economical method of study.</p> + +<p>4. He must see clearly what progress he is making.</p> + +<p>Detailed suggestions for teaching the lessons are given in the +paragraphs which follow. These suggestions are based upon the +investigations reviewed by Doctor Horn in the Eighteenth +Yearbook of the National Society for the Study of Education. +The method has been tried out thoroughly in public school +classrooms, and has proved uniformly successful. Teachers are +urged to follow it as closely as possible. If, however, the teacher +prefers another method of study, she may use it. The book may +be used with any method.</p> + +<p><b>Getting Started Right.</b>—The first few lessons may well be +spent in systematizing class procedure and teaching pupils how +to study a spelling lesson. Begin by pointing out the importance +of spelling. Give cases, if possible, where people have been +discredited because of spelling errors in letters. Discuss with +the class how the words in this book were selected, how the standard +errors at the close of each lesson were secured, and how the + <span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_xi" id="Page_xi">[Pg xi]</a></span> +method of study was determined. The pupils may now be +introduced to the procedure which will be used in conducting +the spelling class, and to the method of study.</p> + +<p><b>Teaching Pupils How to Work.</b>—Many teachers have found +the following procedure very satisfactory. Have the pupils +open their books at the first lesson for their grade. Explain to +them that a great many men have spent much time and money +in finding out the best way to learn to spell, and that the method +which is to be used is based on what these men have recommended. +Have the class read the directions to pupils given on +pages <a href="#Page_xiv">xiv</a>–<a href="#Page_xvi">xvi</a>. + After the directions have been read, have several +pupils summarize them. When you have made sure that the +class has the main points clearly in mind, the actual work of +habituating the method may be begun. The first few lessons in +each term should consist of practice in the method of study. +This practice should be continued until you are satisfied that the +pupils understand thoroughly how to go about their work. Remember +that even though teachers in the preceding grades are +using the method, there may be pupils in your grade who are +new to the system, as well as some who have forgotten how to +study. From the nature of the method, it is easy to detect any +child who is not using it. Insist that the correct method be used +from the outset. As soon as the pupils have learned the method +of study, the regular work of learning the lessons may begin.</p> + +<p><b>How the Lessons Should be Taught.</b>—The lessons are planned +to be completed in a week. A week's work, therefore, consists +of twenty new words and twenty review words except in grade +one, where the week's work consists of ten new words and ten review +words. The following schedule is recommended.</p> + +<p><b>Monday.</b>—The first step in teaching a lesson is an exercise +in pronunciation. Have the pupils open their books at the +advanced lesson. Pronounce each word, enunciating the syllables +very distinctly. Each word which in your judgment is not +understood by the class should be used in a sentence. All +homonyms should be so used. Have the pupils pronounce each +word after you in concert, enunciating the syllables very distinctly. +Insist on careful pronunciation on the part of every pupil.</p> + +<p>This exercise precedes the spelling test because of the importance +of pronunciation in the method of study, and because of + <span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_xii" id="Page_xii">[Pg xii]</a></span> +the probability that this initial attention to the correct form of +the word is desirable. Since the pupils undoubtedly learn something +as a result of this exercise, they may be expected to make +somewhat better scores than those given in the book. These +scores are the results of tests given without such a preliminary +exercise in pronunciation.</p> + +<p>After all the words have been pronounced, have the pupils +close their texts and prepare papers for a written test. This test +will include the new lesson. It may be written on any sort of +paper, the words being written in columns of twenty to correspond +to the arrangement of the words in the book. Pronounce +each word once only. Pupils should write the words without +hesitation. No alterations in the first attempt at spelling the +word should be allowed.</p> + +<p>After the words have all been dictated, have the pupils exchange +papers for the purpose of correcting. Be sure that each +pupil understands that he is marking his neighbor's paper, so +that errors which have been made may be corrected. Instruct +the class to mark a word wrong if it is misspelled, if it cannot be +read, or if any change in the first attempt at spelling has been +made. Be sure that each pupil understands that, until he is able +to write a word correctly the first time, he has not sufficiently +learned it.</p> + +<p>The words may be corrected on the basis of the teacher's oral +spelling or by the book. Each word found to be misspelled +should be marked wrong by placing after it an <b>X</b>.</p> + +<p>When the papers have been returned to the owners, each +pupil should write the correct form of the words which he has +misspelled. The words missed on the test will constitute his +task for the week.</p> + +<p><b>Tuesday.</b>—On Tuesday the pupils study, each working on +his own errors and using the method recommended under directions +to pupils. Pupils who made no errors on the test may +be excused from this study period, but not from the succeeding +test. It frequently happens that a pupil will spell a word correctly +on one test and misspell it on a following test.</p> + +<p>The teacher should closely supervise the pupils' study in +order to insure that proper methods of learning are used. She +may also help to direct the work of those who, having made no + <span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_xiii" id="Page_xiii">[Pg xiii]</a></span> +errors on the preceding test, have been allowed to undertake +some other task. The class should not be tested on this day.</p> + +<p><b>Wednesday.</b>—Test on the new and on the review lesson. +This review lesson should consist of a lesson taught one month +before. Since the first four lessons in each grade are made up of +words taught in the preceding grade, these may well be used for +the first month as review lessons. The words may be corrected +and the errors recorded as on Monday. Compare the number of +errors made on this test with those made on the preceding test. +This comparison will show the pupil what progress he has made. +The remainder of the period may be spent in studying the words +missed on this test.</p> + +<p><b>Thursday.</b>—Study as on Tuesday.</p> + +<p><b>Friday.</b>—Test on the new and on the review lesson, correct +the papers as on Monday, and spend the rest of the period studying +the errors made on this final test. Compare the number of +errors made on this test with the number made on the first and +second tests. The comparison gives the child a measure of +accomplishment for the week. The teacher should check this +day's papers in order to have an accurate record of the status of +the pupils at the close of the week's work. Many teachers have +found it helpful to keep a chart of progress on the blackboard.</p> + +<p><b>Individual Instruction.</b>—It is clear from the preceding directions +that the method of learning and the class administration +are intended to insure that each pupil will learn those words +which give him difficulty, and that he will, at the same time, +progress at his own rate. With the possible exception of the +fact that only the commonly used words are taught, this is the +most important provision in the book.</p> + +<p><b>The Spelling Notebook.</b>—It has been found to be very helpful +to have each pupil keep a notebook in which to record words +missed in the various spelling tests or in papers written in connection +with other subjects. This notebook tends to make the +pupil more conscientious with regard to his spelling. It also +gives him a record of his errors so that when he has time for +review work he can utilize it properly.</p> + +<p><b>The Problem of Interest.</b>—Teachers who have used the +method which is here recommended have been unanimous in +reporting not only that the pupils learned more rapidly, but also + <span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_xiv" id="Page_xiv">[Pg xiv]</a></span> +that they worked with greater enthusiasm. This increased interest +is secured without any use of soft pedagogy. It comes +from several sources. First, the pupils know that the words in +the book are those most commonly needed in writing. Second, +the pupils quickly see the advantage of centering their efforts +on words which they have actually missed. Third, by means of +standard scores they are enabled to compare their spelling +ability with that of children in other parts of the country. +Fourth, they can see what they are accomplishing. Fifth, these +provisions make possible the joy which comes from doing vigorously +and thoroughly a clean-cut task that needs to be done. +These are the interests which appeal to sensible men and women +in life outside the school, and they have proved sufficient for +children. Many attempts have been made to substitute devices +for these wholesome and fundamental interests. Such attempts +not only fail in their purpose, but actually distract the child's +mind from the work he has to do. Sugar-coating inevitably +destroys the child's appetite for healthy vigorous work.</p> + + +<hr class="hr2" /> +<h2>DIRECTIONS TO PUPILS</h2> + +<p><b>Why These Words Should be Studied.</b>—One of the ways by +which people judge the writer of a letter is by the presence or +absence of spelling errors. Often a young man or young woman +has failed to obtain a desirable position because of spelling errors +in a letter of application. Even in the ordinary friendly letter, +spelling errors make a bad impression. The words which you +are to learn from this spelling book are the words which people +most frequently use in writing letters. Thousands of letters +were read, and each word found was recorded. This book, therefore, +contains the words most commonly used in writing, and +does not contain any word which has not been found in letters.</p> + +<p><b>How to Learn the Words.</b>—The first step in the study of each +lesson will be an exercise in pronunciation. Your teacher will +pronounce each word for you. Look at your book closely, noticing +each syllable as she pronounces it. When the teacher asks +you to pronounce the word after her, look at each syllable closely +as <i>you</i> pronounce it.</p> + +<p>The second step in learning the lesson is the test. Write each +word as plainly as you can and without hesitation. The purpose + <span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_xv" id="Page_xv">[Pg xv]</a></span> +of this test is to see whether or not there are any words in +the lesson which you cannot spell. The words which you cannot +spell will be your work in spelling for the week.</p> + +<p>If your teacher asks you to exchange papers for the purpose +of correcting them, be sure to do your work very carefully. If +you fail to mark a word wrong that has been misspelled, the +pupil whose paper you marked will not be able to know that +the word should be studied, and so will suffer an injury. On the +other hand, it will be very confusing if you mark a word wrong +which is really correct. Mark any word wrong that you cannot +easily read; also any word if a letter has been written over or a +change made. Remember that the purpose of the test is to find +out which words need to be studied. The grades of the pupil whose +papers you correct are not affected in any way by your marking.</p> + +<p><b>The Meaning of "The Standard Number of Errors."</b>—The +words in this book have been given to a great many children +in each grade in a number of cities. In that way it was possible +to find out the number of errors which children of each grade +ordinarily make. If you will compare the number of errors which +you make on the test with the number of errors at the bottom of +your lesson, you will be able to see how your spelling compares +with that of pupils in other parts of the country.</p> + +<p><b>How to Learn to Spell a Word.</b>—A great many men have +spent much time and money in finding out for you the best way +to learn to spell. The directions which follow are based on +what these men have discovered.</p> + +<p>1. The first thing to do in learning to spell a word is to pronounce +it correctly. Pronounce the word, saying each syllable +very distinctly, and looking closely at each syllable as you say it.</p> + +<p>2. With closed eyes try to see the word in your book, syllable +by syllable, as you pronounce it in a whisper. In pronouncing +the words, be sure to say each syllable distinctly. After saying +the word, keep trying to recall how the word looked in your book, +and at the same time say the letters. Spell by syllables.</p> + +<p>3. Open your eyes, and look at the word to see whether or +not you had it right.</p> + +<p>4. Look at the word again, saying the syllables very distinctly. +If you did not have the word right on your first trial, +say the letters this time as you look sharply at the syllables.</p> + +<p><span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_xvi" id="Page_xvi">[Pg xvi]</a></span> + 5. Try again with closed eyes to see the word as you spell +the syllables in a whisper.</p> + +<p>6. Look again at your book to see if you had the word right. +Keep trying until you can spell each syllable correctly with +closed eyes.</p> + +<p>7. When you feel sure that you have learned the word, write +it without looking at your book, and then compare your attempt +with the book to see whether or not you wrote it correctly.</p> + +<p>8. Now write the word three times, covering each trial +with your hand before you write the word the next time, so that +you cannot copy. If all of these trials are right, you may say +that you have learned the word for the present. If you make a +single mistake, begin with the first direction and go through each +step again.</p> + +<p>9. Study each word by this method. Take special pains +to attend closely to each step in the method. Hard and careful +work is what counts.</p> + +<p><b>Take Pains with Your Spelling in all Writing.</b>—Take pride +in having your compositions and letters free from spelling +errors. When you are in the slightest doubt as to how to spell a +word, look it up in the dictionary before you write it. When you +have found the word in the dictionary, learn it by the method by +which you study your regular spelling lessons. In a similar +way, if you do make a mistake in spelling in your compositions, +learn the word which you misspelled by this same method.</p> + +<p><b>Reviews.</b>—Whenever you have a few minutes after having +prepared some lesson, turn back to the errors which you have +made on previous spelling tests and spend some time going over +the words which you missed on those tests. Occasionally when +you are at home, you will find it interesting to have your mother +or father or some friend test you over all the words you have +missed during the year. You should not be satisfied until you +can spell every word correctly.</p> + +<p><b>Notebook.</b>—Keep a spelling notebook. Whether your +teacher requires it or not, you will find it very much worth +while to keep a spelling notebook. In this you should record +all words missed on any test or in compositions which you +write. If you find that you are frequently missing a word, +write it in a special list and review it frequently.</p> + + +<hr /> +<p><span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_1" id="Page_1">[Pg 1]</a></span></p> +<h1>FIRST GRADE</h1> + + +<hr class="hr2" /> +<p><span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_2" id="Page_2">[Pg 2]</a></span></p> +<h2>DIRECTIONS TO FIRST GRADE TEACHERS</h2> + +<p>The words in the lessons for first grade children are +few in number and relatively easy. You will notice that +most of them are phonetic. Each word has been found +to be used in correspondence and in a majority of first +grade readers. This list is therefore particularly appropriate +for first grade children and may be easily learned +by them. The authors recommend that this work be +begun in the second half year.</p> + +<p><b>Directions for Teaching.</b>—Read again the general +directions on pages <a href="#Page_vii">vii</a> to <a href="#Page_xvi">xvi</a>, inclusive. In general the +method used in grade one is the same as that used in +later grades. There are, however, certain important +differences. You will notice, for example, that first grade +lessons contain ten instead of twenty words. You will need +also to give more attention for the first two or three weeks +to initiating correct habits of study. Remember that +teachers above grade one will build upon habits which +you initiate.</p> + +<p>The words in the first grade list are very simple, so +that there should be no difficulty in learning to spell +them. Neither should the children have any difficulty in +understanding any of the one hundred fifty words.</p> + +<p><b>Directions for Schools in Which the Pupils do Not +Write in Grade One.</b>—The pupils in such schools should +be taught to study according to the first six directions +given under How to Learn to Spell a Word, page <a href="#Page_xv">xv</a>. +The tests in these cases will have to be oral tests.

The new words are all +words frequently used, are words which second grade +children can learn easily and, for the most part, are frequently +found in the second readers most commonly used. +You will find that the method outlined below will enable +you to teach these words so that your classes will make +very nearly a perfect score on them.</p> + +<p><b>Directions for Teaching.</b>—Read again the directions +for teaching as given on pages <a href="#Page_vii">vii</a> to <a href="#Page_xvi">xvi</a>. You will find it +advisable to take some time at the beginning of the term +to teach pupils how to study. You will still find it necessary +to correct the papers yourself. You may follow the +same schedule as that outlined in the general directions. +Watch particularly for improper methods of study.</p> + +<p>Second grade pupils should write their tests without +hesitation and with fair speed. Explain to the pupils +with great care that letters which are not made plainly +will be counted wrong.</p> + +<p>Remember that the lessons are arranged by weeks +rather than by days. The work for each week consists of +one advance column and one review column. The review +column in each case is the fourth column preceding the +advance work. That is, it is made up of a week's work +one month old. For example, column 5 contains 20 new +words to be learned in one week. During the same week, +column 1 should be reviewed. The lesson for the first +week consists of column 1, which is the advance lesson, +and of column R 1, which is the review.</p> + +<p> </p> + +<table class="toc1" summary="Word List"> +<tr><td class="c11"> R-1</td><td class="c22"> R-2</td><td class="c33"> R-3</td><td class="c44"> R-4 + <span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_9" id="Page_9">[Pg 9]</a></span></td></tr> +<tr><td class="c11">dear</td><td class="c22">sat</td><td class="c33">top</td><td class="c44">make</td></tr> +<tr><td class="c11">fat</td><td class="c22">bee</td><td class="c33">playing</td><td class="c44">milk</td></tr> +<tr><td class="c11">cow</td><td class="c22">baby</td><td class="c33">came</td><td class="c44">her</td></tr> +<tr><td class="c11">get</td><td class="c22">has</td><td class="c33">pig</td><td class="c44">apple</td></tr> +<tr><td class="c11">some</td><td class="c22">home</td><td class="c33">give</td><td class="c44">with</td></tr> +<tr><td class="c11">we</td><td class="c22">looking</td><td class="c33">had</td><td class="c44">when</td></tr> +<tr><td class="c11">way</td><td class="c22">love</td><td class="c33">from</td><td class="c44">down</td></tr> +<tr><td class="c11">run</td><td class="c22">red</td><td class="c33">far</td><td class="c44">six</td></tr> +<tr><td class="c11">gold</td><td class="c22">like</td><td class="c33">call</td><td class="c44">send</td></tr> +<tr><td class="c11">cat</td><td class="c22">going</td><td class="c33">ice</td><td class="c44">school</td></tr> +<tr><td class="c11">cold</td><td class="c22">corn</td><td class="c33">thank</td><td class="c44">live</td></tr> +<tr><td class="c11">or</td><td class="c22">box</td><td class="c33">put</td><td class="c44">gave</td></tr> +<tr><td class="c11">them</td><td class="c22">am</td><td class="c33">fast</td><td class="c44">snow</td></tr> +<tr><td class="c11">girl</td><td class="c22">then</td><td class="c33">by</td><td class="c44">what</td></tr> +<tr><td class="c11">this</td><td class="c22">eat</td><td class="c33">made</td><td class="c44">mother</td></tr> +<tr><td class="c11">three</td><td class="c22">thing</td><td class="c33">night</td><td class="c44">after</td></tr> +<tr><td class="c11">ring</td><td class="c22">much</td><td class="c33">one</td><td class="c44">just</td></tr> +<tr><td class="c11">cannot</td><td class="c22">time</td><td class="c33">bed</td><td class="c44">hard</td></tr> +<tr><td class="c11">wind</td><td class="c22">over</td><td class="c33">sun</td><td class="c44">wood</td></tr> +<tr><td class="c11">hat</td><td class="c22">they</td><td class="c33">must</td><td class="c44">five</td></tr> +</table> + +<p> </p> + +<table class="toc1" summary="Word List"> +<caption>Standard Number of Errors</caption> +<tr><td class="c11">I.

The supplementary +list contains 80 words, which although easy to +spell are not so frequently used in writing letters as are +the words of the minimum list. This supplementary list +is meant for those schools which because of the long school +term or for other reasons, finish the minimum list before +the end of the term or year. The lessons marked R-1, +R-2, R-3, R-4, are made up of the eighty words taught +in preceding grades, but which still give considerable +difficulty to third grade children. They should be thoroughly +mastered.</p> + +<p><b>Directions for Teacher.</b>—For the first few lessons +direct your attention to systematizing class procedure +and to teaching pupils how to study effectively. Read +carefully again the suggestions on pages <a href="#Page_vii">vii</a> to <a href="#Page_xvi">xvi</a>.</p> + +<p>Pupils in the third grade should be able to make their +own corrections so that time may now be saved by having +the pupils exchange papers during the first two tests. The +teacher should continue to correct the papers written on +the final test. The following suggestions will be helpful +in getting the coöperation of pupils. After the papers +have been exchanged say, "In writing, it is important +not only that you know how to spell, but also that you +make your letters so that the person who reads your paper +can tell easily what you have written. This is the reason +that I have asked you to exchange papers. Many people +write so that certain letters cannot be told from other +letters. This is true of z, g, and y; o and a; t and l; n +and u; h and k. When you correct papers and cannot +tell which of two letters the writer intended, mark the +word wrong. Also mark it wrong if a letter has been + <span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_17" id="Page_17">[Pg 17]</a></span> +written over or a change made. Words should be learned +so that they will be written correctly without hesitation +the first time. Any word which has not been learned so +that it may be written correctly the first time should be +studied again.</p> + +<p><a name="quote" id="quote">"</a>Remember that the purpose of this test is to find out +which words need further study. It does not affect your +grades. You will do the pupil whose paper you have a +favor by marking his errors so that he may correct them. +Mark each error by placing after it a cross—so (x)."</p> + +<p>Pupils should keep a special list of words which they +have missed in their compositions. These words should +be studied by the same method used in studying the regular +spelling lesson. Such words will not be taken up, +however, in the regular lessons.</p> + +<p>Remember that the lessons are arranged by weeks +rather than by days. The work for each week consists +of one advance column and one review column. The +review column in each case is the fourth column preceding +the advance work. That is, it is made up of a week's +work one month old. For example, column 5 contains +20 new words to be learned in one week. During the same +week, column 1 should be reviewed. The lesson for the +first week consists of column 1, which is the advance +lesson, and of column R 1, which is the review.</p> + +<p> </p> + +<table class="toc1" summary="Word List"> +<tr><td

+contain 620 new words. The supplementary list containing +80 new words is meant for schools which because of +the long term or for other reasons, finish the minimum list +of words before the end of the year. The lessons marked +R-1, R-2, R-3, R-4, are made up of the 80 words in the +third grade list which are most commonly misspelled by +fourth grade children. These 80 words should be thoroughly +mastered. There are also reviewed 20 homonyms +which commonly are confused by children of this grade.</p> + +<p><b>Directions for Teaching.</b>—Read the preface and study +with particular care the suggestions given on pages <a href="#Page_vii">vii</a> +to <a href="#Page_xvi">xvi</a>. It would be well also to read the suggestions to +first, second and third grade teachers. You will need to +supervise the correction of papers by pupils very closely.</p> + +<p>Remember that the lessons are arranged by weeks +rather than by days. The work for each week consists of +one advance column and one review column. The review +column in each case is the fourth column preceding the +advance work. That is, it is made up of a week's work +one month old. For example, column 5 contains 20 new +words to be learned in one week. During the same week, +column 1 should be reviewed. The lesson for the first +week consists of column 1, which is the advance lesson, +and of column R 1, which is the review.</p> + +<p> </p> + +<table class="toc1" summary="Word List"> +<tr><td

+<h1>FIFTH GRADE</h1> + + +<hr class="hr2" /> +<p><span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_42" id="Page_42">[Pg 42]</a></span></p> +<h2>DIRECTIONS TO FIFTH GRADE TEACHERS</h2> + +<p>The minimum lessons for this grade are numbered +from 1 to 32, and contain 620 new words of the minimum +list. The lessons marked R-1, R-2, R-3, R-4, are made +up of words from the fourth grade lessons which are most +frequently misspelled by fifth grade children. In addition +to these eighty review words, there is one review lesson +containing homonyms. There are also two supplementary +lessons made up of words which are new but which are +not so commonly used as those in the minimum list. As +in preceding grades, these supplementary lessons are +introduced in order to afford additional work for classes +which finish the regular lessons before the end of the year. +There are also two lessons containing names of the months, +days of the week, and certain abbreviations.</p> + +<p><b>Directions for Teaching.</b>—Read carefully the suggestions +on pages <a href="#Page_vii">vii</a> to <a href="#Page_xvi">xvi</a>. Read also the suggestions to +teachers of the first four grades. See to it that your pupils +attack their lessons in an aggressive manner. The pupils +in grade five do considerable work in written composition, +so it will be well to watch very closely the errors made in +such work. Have the pupils learn all words misspelled in +their written work, using the same method as in their +regular spelling lessons.</p> + +<p>Remember that the lessons are arranged by weeks +rather than by days. The work for each week consists of +one advance column and one review column. The review +column in each case is the fourth column preceding the +advance work. That is, it is made up of a week's work +one month old. For example, column 5 contains 20 new +words to be learned in one week. During the same week, +column 1 should be reviewed. The lesson for the first +week consists of column 1, which is the advance lesson, +and of column R 1, which is the review.</p> + +<p> </p> + +<table class="toc1" summary="Word List"> +<tr><td

+640 new words. The supplementary list containing +80 new words is meant for schools which, because of the +long term or for other reasons, finish the minimum list +of words before the end of the year. The lessons marked +R-l, R-2, R-3, R-4, are made up of 80 words in the fifth +grade list which are most commonly misspelled by sixth +grade children.</p> + +<p><b>Directions for Teaching.</b>—Read the preface and study +with particular care the suggestions given on pages <a href="#Page_vii">vii</a> to +<a href="#Page_xvi">xvi</a>. It would be well also to read the suggestions given to +teachers of the first five grades. Give particular attention +to the correction of all written work.</p> + +<p>Remember that the lessons are arranged by weeks +rather than by days.

The +supplementary lessons contain 60 new words which are +not so commonly used as those in the minimum lessons. +As in preceding grades, these supplementary lessons are +introduced in order to afford additional work for classes +which finish the regular lessons before the end of the year. +The lessons marked R-l, R-2, R-3, R-4, are made up of +words from the sixth grade lessons which are most frequently +misspelled by seventh grade children.</p> + +<p><b>Directions for Teaching.</b>—Read carefully the suggestions +on pages <a href="#Page_vii">vii</a> to <a href="#Page_xvi">xvi</a>. Read also the suggestions to +teachers in the first six grades. As in grades four, five +and six, the spelling errors found in pupils' compositions +should be rigorously corrected.</p> + +<p>Remember that the lessons are arranged by weeks +rather than by days. The work for each week consists of +one advance column and one review column. The review +column in each case is the fourth column preceding the +advance work. That is, it is made up of a week's work +one month old. For example, column 5 contains 20 new +words to be learned in one week. During the same week, +column 1 should be reviewed. The lesson for the first +week consists of column 1, which is the advance lesson, +and of column R 1, which is the review.</p> + +<p> </p> + +<table class="toc1" summary="Word List"> +<tr><td

TEACHERS</h2> + +<p>The minimum lessons for this grade are numbered +from 1 to 25 inclusive, and contain 500 new words. There +are in addition 240 supplementary words which are new, +but which are not so frequently used as those in the minimum +list. The four lessons marked R-1, R-2, R-3, R-4, +are made up of those words in the preceding grades which +are most frequently missed by eighth grade students. +The lesson marked "Special Review," contains the hardest +words, of the two thousand most frequently used +in correspondence.</p> + +<p>In addition, there are four letters which should be +given as dictation exercises. These letters contain a +large number of words which are very likely to be misspelled, +as shown by their frequency of use in correspondence +and the percentage of error of eighth grade pupils +who attempt to spell them.</p> + +<p>Remember that the lessons are arranged by weeks +rather than by days. The work for each week consists of +one advance column and one review column. The review +column in each case is the fourth column preceding the +advance work. That is, it is made up of a week's work +one month old. For example, column 5 contains 20 new +words to be learned in one week. During the same week, +column 1 should be reviewed. The lesson for the first +week consists of column 1, which is the advance lesson, +and of column R 1, which is the review.</p> + +<p> </p> + +<table class="toc1" summary="Word List"> +<tr><td

contains, and to the relationship +which exists between the person who sends the letter and +the one who is to receive it. The style of business letters +must be clear, direct, and dignified. With certain exceptions, +as in sales letters, such letters are usually made +very impersonal. On the other hand, personal letters are +quite properly regarded by many as a sort of conversation +in writing. In writing to friends or to relatives one +usually desires to be informal. One of the ways of achieving +this informality is through the use of colloquial English +and contractions. In the past, many teachers of +English have cautioned students against the use of contractions +in letters; but an examination of the correspondence +of writers whose letters are regarded as models +shows that most of these authors use contractions very +freely. If you will read the letters of Henry Adams, +Stevenson, Gray, Henry James, Lamb, Carroll, Walpole, +Keats, Emily Dickinson, Thackeray, Dickens, and others, +you will see that in writing to friends and members of +their families they wrote much as they would have chatted +with those to whom the letters were addressed.</p> + +<p>In general, then, contractions are to be used only in +informal or friendly correspondence. In letters to strangers +and in most business correspondence they should be +avoided. Perhaps the best guide to the proper use of +contractions is to be found in the models of writers who +are famous for their personal letters.</p> + +<div class="blockquot"> +<p><span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_97" id="Page_97">[Pg 97]</a></span> + can't "You can't be too careful."

The following supplement is +added as a guide in schools which make such a requirement. +Ordinarily such topics as derivation of words, root prefixes, +suffixes, homonyms, antonyms, synonyms, and hyphens are +taught, either as a part of composition or as a part of dictionary +exercises.</p> + +<p>The value of teaching spelling rules is still somewhat a +matter of controversy, although the weight of experimental +evidence seems to indicate that children do not profit from a +study of the rules in spelling, as much as they profit from +the same amount of time spent in the direct study of the important +words covered by these rules. However, since some +city and state courses of study require the teaching of the +rules, it seems advisable to put the more important rules in +this supplement.</p> + +<p>An effort has been made to state these rules in the simplest +manner possible, within the limits of accuracy. Great +care has been taken, also, to tabulate, for each rule, the words +frequently used in correspondence, which are exceptions.</p> + +<p>The teacher should understand clearly that it is not the +intention of the authors to have these rules take the place of +the direct teaching of any word. Rather they are to be regarded +as supplementary exercises. It is doubtful whether +much attention should be given to rules before grade seven.</p> + + +<hr class="hr2" /> +<h3>DERIVATION OF WORDS</h3> + +<p>Often one word is built up from several words or syllables. +The most important part of such a built-up word is called the +root, or base. This root or base had an original meaning + <span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_110" id="Page_110">[Pg 110]</a></span> +which is usually clear, especially in purely English words, as +in-side, happi-ness, etc. Many built-up or derivative words +are from other languages. A few examples may help to +illustrate:</p> + +<div class="blockquot"> +<p>1. international—Latin inter (between) plus nation (nation) +plus al (pertaining to)—between nations, pertaining +to intercourse between nations.</p> + +<p>The root is "nation."</p> + +<p>2. extraordinary—Latin extra (on the outside, out of) plus +ordinarius (ordinary)—out of the ordinary, unusual.</p> + +<p>The root is "ordinar."</p> + +<p>3. provide—Latin pro (before) plus vid (to look or see)—to +look before or ahead, to look out for in advance.</p> + +<p>The root is "vid."</p> + +<p>4. convention—Latin con (together) plus ven (to come) +plus tion (act of)—act of coming together—meeting.</p> + +<p>The root is "ven."</p> + +<p>Many roots or bases are taken directly from the English:</p> + +<p>1. out-come—act of coming out—that which comes out of +something else—result.</p> + +<p>2. in-side—inner side or surface.</p> + +<p>3. cheer-ful—full of cheer.</p> + +<p>4. happi-ness—state of being happy.</p> +</div> + +<p>In studying these words, you may have noticed that +something besides the root or base is needed to make the +meaning clear. The other two parts which help to make up +words are called prefixes and suffixes. These will be taken up +separately.</p> + + +<hr class="hr2" /> +<h2>PREFIXES</h2> + +<p>A prefix is a word or syllable placed before another word, +and so completely joined to it that it changes the meaning of +the basic word.</p> + +<div class="blockquot"> +<p><span class="smcap">Note to Teacher</span>:—Have the pupils select in the lessons +of your grade, words which have similar prefixes.</p> +</div> + +<p><span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_111" id="Page_111">[Pg 111]</a></span> + As you can see in the list below, the final consonant of a +prefix has often been changed to make the pronunciation easier, +but does not disappear when added to the stem.

The following list is made up of words in the singular +number. To form the possessive, add an apostrophe and "s."</p> + +<div class="blockquot"> +<p>horse's head<br /> +man's coat<br /> +girl's dress<br /> +boy's shoes<br /> +soldier's uniform<br /> +child's laugh<br /> +sheep's wool<br /> +sister's hat</p> +</div> + +<p>2. The following list is made up of plural nouns that do +not end in "s." To form the possessive, add an apostrophe +and "s."</p> + +<div class="blockquot"> +<p>children's clothes<br /> +men's shirts<br /> +women's praise<br /> +gentlemen's plans</p> +</div> + +<p><span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_114" id="Page_114">[Pg 114]</a></span> + 3. The following list is made up of plural nouns ending +in "s."</p> + +<p>To form the possessive, add only an apostrophe.</p> + +<div class="blockquot"> +<p>miles' walk<br /> +girls' clothing<br /> +years' word<br /> +pupils' attention</p> +</div> + +<p><b>II. Treatment of the final consonant before a suffix</b></p> + +<p>1. The following list contains words of one syllable. Notice +that each word ends in a consonant, and that in every word +there is a single short vowel preceding it. In all such words, +the final consonant is doubled before adding a suffix beginning +with a vowel.</p> + +<div class="blockquot"> +<p>big—bigg (er) (est)<br /> +drop—dropp(ed) (ing)<br /> +stop—stopp(ed) (ing)<br /> +plan—plann(ed) (ing)<br /> +begin—beginn(er) (ing)</p> +</div> + +<p>2. The following list contains verbs of more than one +syllable. Each verb is accented on the last syllable, and ends +in a single consonant preceded by a single short vowel. In +such verbs, the final consonant is doubled before a suffix +beginning with a vowel.</p> + +<div class="blockquot"> +<p>beginn(ing)<br /> +referr(ed) (ing)<br /> +occurr(ed)<br /> +forgott(en)<br /> +remitt(ance)</p> +</div> + +<p><b>III. Adding suffixes to words ending in "e"</b></p> + +<p>1. A word ending in silent "e" drops the "e" before a +vowel, as:</p> + +<div class="blockquot"> +<p>come—coming<br /> +hope—hoping<br /> +serve—serving<br /> +appreciate—appreciating<br /> +vote—voting</p> +</div> + +<p>2. When a suffix beginning with a consonant is added to +a word ending in "e," the "e" is kept.</p> + +<div class="blockquot"> +<p>announce—announce-ment<br /> +hope—hope-ful<br /> +late—late-ly<br /> +care—care-less<br /> +lone—lone-some</p> +</div> + +<p><span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_115" id="Page_115">[Pg 115]</a></span> + 3. "E" is retained to keep the soft sound of "c" and "g" +before "a" and "o" as in notice—notice-able, and advantage—advantage-ous.</p> + +<p><b>Exceptions:</b></p> + +<p>Of the words commonly used in writing letters the following +exceptions are to be made:</p> + +<p>a. When a suffix beginning with a consonant is added to +a word ending in "e":</p> + +<p>(1) Only three words drop "e" before adding "ment": +judgment, acknowledgment, argument.</p> + +<p>(2) Only one word drops "e" before adding "ful": awful.</p> + +<p>(3) Only three words drop "e" before adding "ly":</p> + +<div class="blockquot"> +<p>true—truly<br /> +due—duly<br /> +whole—wholly</p> +</div> + +<p>b. When the last syllable of a word ends in "le," "ly" +does not make a new syllable, as: probable—-probably, +possible—possibly, simple—simply.</p> + +<p>(When "ly" is added to words ending in "l," both "l's" +are retained, as: practical—practically, careful—carefully.)</p> + +<p><b>IV. Treatment of the final "y"</b></p> + +<p>1. To form the plural of a noun ending in "y" preceded +by a consonant, change the "y" to "i" and add "es."</p> + +<div class="blockquot"> +<p>lady—ladies<br /> +quantity—quantities<br /> +quality—qualities</p> +</div> + +<p>2. When a verb ends in "y" preceded by a consonant, +change the "y" to "i" and add "es" to form the third person +singular of the verb. To form the past tense of the verb, +change the "y" to "i" and add "ed."</p> + +<div class="blockquot"> +<p>fry—fries<br /> +cry—cries<br /> +bury—buried<br /> +carry—carried</p> +</div> + +<p>3. When a word ends in "y" preceded by a vowel, form +the plural by adding "s."</p> + +<div class="blockquot"> +<p>turkey—turkeys<br /> +chimney—chimneys<br /> +valley—valleys</p> +</div> + +<p>4. When "y" is preceded by a consonant, change it to +"i" before a suffix which does not begin with "i," as in business, +readily, happiness, etc.</p> + +<p>Retain "y" in such words as: hurrying, crying, flying, etc.</p> + +<p><span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_116" id="Page_116">[Pg 116]</a></span> + <b>V. Treatment and use of the apostrophe</b></p> + +<p>1. Put the apostrophe in the place of the absent letter or +letters: aren't, don't, didn't, can't, I'll, etc.</p> + +<p>2. Possessives of personal pronouns have no apostrophe, +as: its, hers, ours, yours, etc.</p> + +<p><b>VI. Irregular Plurals</b></p> + +<p>Some words ending in "f" or "fe" form their plurals by +changing the "f" or "fe" to "v" and adding "es."</p> + +<div class="blockquot"> +<p>half—halves<br /> +knife—knives<br /> +life—lives<br /> +leaf—leaves<br /> +calf—calves<br /> +wife—wives</p> +</div> + +<p><b>VII.

A. + + + + +PREFACE + + +It is the intention of the authors to include sufficient discussion +and directions to teachers so that this book may be taught with the +highest possible degree of efficiency. Under general directions to +teachers will be found a discussion of those points which concern all +teachers regardless of grade. In addition, preceding the word list for +each grade will be found supplementary directions to aid the teachers +in facing the problems peculiar to that grade. + +Special attention is called to the elaborate provision for making the +pupil intelligent and responsible in his attack on his own spelling +problems. This result is achieved by the testing plan which discovers +to the pupil his deficiencies; by the standard scores which enable him +to compare his accomplishment with that of other children; by the +efficient method of study which is provided; and by the unusually +rigorous follow-up work given in the review lessons. The authors +therefore present this book to the pupils and teachers of the United +States as a contribution to the solution of the problem of developing +a nation of good spellers. + + THE AUTHORS. + + DECEMBER, 1920. + + + + +CONTENTS + + + PAGE + + PREFACE iii + + GENERAL DIRECTIONS TO TEACHERS vii-xiv + + DIRECTIONS TO PUPILS xiv-xvi + + DIRECTIONS TO TEACHERS OF GRADE I 2 + WORD LIST, GRADE I 3-5 + + DIRECTIONS TO TEACHERS OF GRADE II 8 + WORD LIST, GRADE II 9-14 + + DIRECTIONS TO TEACHERS OF GRADE III 16-17 + WORD LIST, GRADE III 19-27 + + DIRECTIONS TO TEACHERS OF GRADE IV 30 + WORD LIST, GRADE IV 31-40 + + DIRECTIONS TO TEACHERS OF GRADE V 42 + WORD LIST, GRADE V 43-52 + + DIRECTIONS TO TEACHERS OF GRADE VI 54 + WORD LIST, GRADE VI 55-64 + + DIRECTIONS TO TEACHERS OF GRADE VII 66 + WORD LIST, GRADE VII 67-78 + + DIRECTIONS TO TEACHERS OF GRADE VIII 80 + WORD LIST, GRADE VIII 81-95 + + DICTATION EXERCISES 97-105 + + + + +LIPPINCOTT'S HORN-ASHBAUGH SPELLER + + + + +GENERAL DIRECTIONS TO TEACHERS. + + +=How the Teaching of Spelling May be Improved.=--The teaching of +spelling may be improved in three ways: first, by selecting a better +list of words for the pupil to study; second, by placing before the +pupils of each grade the words that are most appropriate for them; and +third, by introducing economical procedures in learning. The first is +the problem of the course of study; the second, the problem of +grading; and the third, the problem of method. + +=The Vocabulary.=--To solve the first problem one must insure that the +pupils will study all words they are likely to use in life outside the +school. One must also insure that the pupils' time will not be wasted +through their being required to learn words which they will never use. +This problem has been solved for you by the authors of the text. The +vocabulary of the lessons is taken from a compilation which Doctor +Horn has made of ten scientific investigations of the words used in +writing letters. These investigations, taken together, represent the +careful analysis of over three-quarters of a million running words of +correspondence. If you will analyze one letter, you will see what a +very great amount of work these investigations have required. It seems +very unlikely that any word commonly and frequently used should have +been overlooked in all of these investigations. + +These ten studies contain all of the information which is available at +the present time concerning what words are likely to be used in +writing letters. Accordingly, there is no word in this speller which +has not been reported in one or more of these investigations. In +addition, this vocabulary has been carefully compared with all of the +other types of reading and writing vocabularies. + +Among these are the studies of children's themes, such as those by +Jones, by the teachers of New Orleans, Kansas City, and Richmond, +Virginia; the various studies of adult reading vocabularies, such as +those by Eldridge and Knowles, aggregating over 140,000 running words; +the studies of the vocabulary of school readers, such as those by +Packer, Housh, and Miller, aggregating over one-half million running +words. No word has been taken from these studies which did not occur +in the investigations of the vocabulary of personal and business +letters. On the other hand, these studies showed quite clearly that +the words found as the result of the analysis of three-quarters of a +million running words of correspondence are really basic in any +writing vocabulary. + +If you will examine the book, you will see that most of the lessons are +numbered with arabic numerals. These lessons contain a minimum list of +3998 words found to be used most frequently. You will notice, also, that +beginning with grade three there are in each grade supplementary +lessons, marked S-1, S-2, etc. These lessons include 580 additional +words which are somewhat less frequently used. The supplementary lessons +are distributed by grades, so that pupils who finish the minimum work +for any grade will have additional lessons to study for the remainder of +the year. However, before undertaking these supplementary lessons, the +teacher should make sure that her pupils have learned thoroughly the +minimum list which contains the important words. + +=Plan of Review.=--The provision for the complete elimination of +spelling errors is particularly efficient and thoroughgoing. Not only +are those words which most commonly give difficulty arranged for, but +the method of testing insures that each pupil will eliminate his own +peculiar errors. No pains have been spared to obtain this thoroughness +without wasting the pupils' time in mere routine review. + +During the week in which each lesson is taught for the first time, +each pupil is tested three times on every word in the lesson. He +spends his time in concentrated attack on the words which have given +him difficulty. One month later this lesson is given as a test, and +the words missed by each pupil re-learned by him. At the end of the +week this lesson is again given as a test. + +In addition, at the beginning of each grade above the first, the words +which have been previously taught, but which according to Doctor +Ashbaugh's investigation still give difficulty, are thoroughly +reviewed. Finally, in the seventh grade, the words which are most +frequently missed by grammar grade pupils are given additional review. + +It must be kept in mind that these reviews are not haphazard, nor are +they a matter of guesswork. Each review list is made up on the basis +of the most careful scientific study of persistent errors. + +=Grading.=--The lessons in each grade are those which the pupils in +that grade may most profitably study. The words have been graded in +the following manner: On the basis of Doctor Horn's compilation of +correspondence vocabularies, all of the 4578 words were ranked +according to the frequency with which they are used in correspondence. +On the basis of Doctor Ashbaugh's study of the difficulty of these +words in the various grades, the words were arranged in order of ease +of spelling. With these two sources of data, the lessons are arranged +so that in general the easiest words and those most commonly and +frequently used are placed in the lower grades. In addition, on the +basis of scientific analysis of the vocabulary of first, second, and +third readers, the authors determined which words occurred most often +in these readers. The words included in the lessons for the first +three grades are not only easy and fairly common, but are found also +in popular readers of the grades in which they are placed. For +example, the word "and" was found 23,773 times in the letters analyzed +in the various investigations upon which the book is based; and it is +misspelled by but four second grade children out of a hundred. It also +occurs in every one of ten commonly used first readers. Since it is +one of the very commonest words, is easy to spell, and is found in all +first readers, it is placed in the first list in the book. In a +similar way every lesson in the first three grades has been a matter +of computation. The lessons in grades above the third have been made +in the same careful fashion, except that occurrences in readers were +not taken into consideration. It is clear that the lessons increase +gradually in difficulty in each successive grade, and that a pupil who +is forced to leave school at the end of grade six or seven will have +learned the words which he is most likely to need in writing. + +=Standard Scores.=--By means of standard errors at the close of each +lesson, the pupils and teachers may compare results with those of +other grades and with those obtained in the country at large. These +standards were taken from the Ashbaugh Scale and from a supplementary +study conducted by Doctor Ashbaugh and Doctor Horn to determine the +standards for words not included in the original scale. It must be +kept in mind that these standard errors are high, being the result of +the present unfavorable conditions of the teaching of spelling in the +country at large. They are used merely for the purpose of comparison. +The ideal to keep before your class is that they should learn their +lessons so that they will not misspell a single word, but this ideal +is intensified by the use of the standard errors. + +=How to Teach the Lesson.=--Four points must be kept in mind as more +important than any others: + +1. The teacher must test her pupils on each lesson before they begin +to study. + +2. Each pupil should study only the words which he misspelled on the +test. + +3. He must be taught an economical method of study. + +4. He must see clearly what progress he is making. + +Detailed suggestions for teaching the lessons are given in the +paragraphs which follow. These suggestions are based upon the +investigations reviewed by Doctor Horn in the Eighteenth Yearbook of +the National Society for the Study of Education. The method has been +tried out thoroughly in public school classrooms, and has proved +uniformly successful. Teachers are urged to follow it as closely as +possible. If, however, the teacher prefers another method of study, +she may use it. The book may be used with any method. + +=Getting Started Right.=--The first few lessons may well be spent in +systematizing class procedure and teaching pupils how to study a +spelling lesson. Begin by pointing out the importance of spelling. +Give cases, if possible, where people have been discredited because of +spelling errors in letters. Discuss with the class how the words in +this book were selected, how the standard errors at the close of each +lesson were secured, and how the method of study was determined. The +pupils may now be introduced to the procedure which will be used in +conducting the spelling class, and to the method of study. + +=Teaching Pupils How to Work.=--Many teachers have found the following +procedure very satisfactory. Have the pupils open their books at the +first lesson for their grade. Explain to them that a great many men +have spent much time and money in finding out the best way to learn to +spell, and that the method which is to be used is based on what these +men have recommended. Have the class read the directions to pupils +given on pages xiv-xvi. After the directions have been read, have +several pupils summarize them. When you have made sure that the class +has the main points clearly in mind, the actual work of habituating +the method may be begun. The first few lessons in each term should +consist of practice in the method of study. This practice should be +continued until you are satisfied that the pupils understand +thoroughly how to go about their work. Remember that even though +teachers in the preceding grades are using the method, there may be +pupils in your grade who are new to the system, as well as some who +have forgotten how to study. From the nature of the method, it is easy +to detect any child who is not using it. Insist that the correct +method be used from the outset. As soon as the pupils have learned the +method of study, the regular work of learning the lessons may begin. + +=How the Lessons Should be Taught.=--The lessons are planned to be +completed in a week. A week's work, therefore, consists of twenty new +words and twenty review words except in grade one, where the week's +work consists of ten new words and ten review words. The following +schedule is recommended. + +=Monday.=--The first step in teaching a lesson is an exercise in +pronunciation. Have the pupils open their books at the advanced +lesson. Pronounce each word, enunciating the syllables very +distinctly. Each word which in your judgment is not understood by the +class should be used in a sentence. All homonyms should be so used. +Have the pupils pronounce each word after you in concert, enunciating +the syllables very distinctly. Insist on careful pronunciation on the +part of every pupil. + +This exercise precedes the spelling test because of the importance of +pronunciation in the method of study, and because of the probability +that this initial attention to the correct form of the word is +desirable. Since the pupils undoubtedly learn something as a result of +this exercise, they may be expected to make somewhat better scores +than those given in the book. These scores are the results of tests +given without such a preliminary exercise in pronunciation. + +After all the words have been pronounced, have the pupils close their +texts and prepare papers for a written test. This test will include +the new lesson. It may be written on any sort of paper, the words +being written in columns of twenty to correspond to the arrangement of +the words in the book. Pronounce each word once only. Pupils should +write the words without hesitation. No alterations in the first +attempt at spelling the word should be allowed. + +After the words have all been dictated, have the pupils exchange +papers for the purpose of correcting. Be sure that each pupil +understands that he is marking his neighbor's paper, so that errors +which have been made may be corrected. Instruct the class to mark a +word wrong if it is misspelled, if it cannot be read, or if any change +in the first attempt at spelling has been made. Be sure that each +pupil understands that, until he is able to write a word correctly the +first time, he has not sufficiently learned it. + +The words may be corrected on the basis of the teacher's oral spelling +or by the book. Each word found to be misspelled should be marked +wrong by placing after it an =X=. + +When the papers have been returned to the owners, each pupil should +write the correct form of the words which he has misspelled. The words +missed on the test will constitute his task for the week. + +=Tuesday.=--On Tuesday the pupils study, each working on his own +errors and using the method recommended under directions to pupils. +Pupils who made no errors on the test may be excused from this study +period, but not from the succeeding test. It frequently happens that a +pupil will spell a word correctly on one test and misspell it on a +following test. + +The teacher should closely supervise the pupils' study in order to +insure that proper methods of learning are used. She may also help to +direct the work of those who, having made no errors on the preceding +test, have been allowed to undertake some other task. The class should +not be tested on this day. + +=Wednesday.=--Test on the new and on the review lesson. This review +lesson should consist of a lesson taught one month before. Since the +first four lessons in each grade are made up of words taught in the +preceding grade, these may well be used for the first month as review +lessons. The words may be corrected and the errors recorded as on +Monday. Compare the number of errors made on this test with those made +on the preceding test. This comparison will show the pupil what +progress he has made. The remainder of the period may be spent in +studying the words missed on this test. + +=Thursday.=--Study as on Tuesday. + +=Friday.=--Test on the new and on the review lesson, correct the +papers as on Monday, and spend the rest of the period studying the +errors made on this final test. Compare the number of errors made on +this test with the number made on the first and second tests. The +comparison gives the child a measure of accomplishment for the week. +The teacher should check this day's papers in order to have an +accurate record of the status of the pupils at the close of the week's +work. Many teachers have found it helpful to keep a chart of progress +on the blackboard. + +=Individual Instruction.=--It is clear from the preceding directions +that the method of learning and the class administration are intended to +insure that each pupil will learn those words which give him difficulty, +and that he will, at the same time, progress at his own rate. With the +possible exception of the fact that only the commonly used words are +taught, this is the most important provision in the book. + +=The Spelling Notebook.=--It has been found to be very helpful to have +each pupil keep a notebook in which to record words missed in the +various spelling tests or in papers written in connection with other +subjects. This notebook tends to make the pupil more conscientious +with regard to his spelling. It also gives him a record of his errors +so that when he has time for review work he can utilize it properly. + +=The Problem of Interest.=--Teachers who have used the method which is +here recommended have been unanimous in reporting not only that the +pupils learned more rapidly, but also that they worked with greater +enthusiasm. This increased interest is secured without any use of soft +pedagogy. It comes from several sources. First, the pupils know that +the words in the book are those most commonly needed in writing. +Second, the pupils quickly see the advantage of centering their +efforts on words which they have actually missed. Third, by means of +standard scores they are enabled to compare their spelling ability +with that of children in other parts of the country. Fourth, they can +see what they are accomplishing. Fifth, these provisions make possible +the joy which comes from doing vigorously and thoroughly a clean-cut +task that needs to be done. These are the interests which appeal to +sensible men and women in life outside the school, and they have +proved sufficient for children. Many attempts have been made to +substitute devices for these wholesome and fundamental interests. Such +attempts not only fail in their purpose, but actually distract the +child's mind from the work he has to do. Sugar-coating inevitably +destroys the child's appetite for healthy vigorous work. + + + + +DIRECTIONS TO PUPILS + + +=Why These Words Should be Studied.=--One of the ways by which people +judge the writer of a letter is by the presence or absence of spelling +errors. Often a young man or young woman has failed to obtain a +desirable position because of spelling errors in a letter of +application. Even in the ordinary friendly letter, spelling errors +make a bad impression. The words which you are to learn from this +spelling book are the words which people most frequently use in +writing letters. Thousands of letters were read, and each word found +was recorded. This book, therefore, contains the words most commonly +used in writing, and does not contain any word which has not been +found in letters. + +=How to Learn the Words.=--The first step in the study of each lesson +will be an exercise in pronunciation. Your teacher will pronounce each +word for you. Look at your book closely, noticing each syllable as she +pronounces it. When the teacher asks you to pronounce the word after +her, look at each syllable closely as _you_ pronounce it. + +The second step in learning the lesson is the test. Write each word as +plainly as you can and without hesitation. The purpose of this test +is to see whether or not there are any words in the lesson which you +cannot spell. The words which you cannot spell will be your work in +spelling for the week. + +If your teacher asks you to exchange papers for the purpose of +correcting them, be sure to do your work very carefully. If you fail to +mark a word wrong that has been misspelled, the pupil whose paper you +marked will not be able to know that the word should be studied, and so +will suffer an injury. On the other hand, it will be very confusing if +you mark a word wrong which is really correct. Mark any word wrong that +you cannot easily read; also any word if a letter has been written over +or a change made. Remember that the purpose of the test is to find out +which words need to be studied. The grades of the pupil whose papers you +correct are not affected in any way by your marking. + +=The Meaning of "The Standard Number of Errors."=--The words in this +book have been given to a great many children in each grade in a number +of cities. In that way it was possible to find out the number of errors +which children of each grade ordinarily make. If you will compare the +number of errors which you make on the test with the number of errors at +the bottom of your lesson, you will be able to see how your spelling +compares with that of pupils in other parts of the country. + +=How to Learn to Spell a Word.=--A great many men have spent much time +and money in finding out for you the best way to learn to spell. The +directions which follow are based on what these men have discovered. + +1. The first thing to do in learning to spell a word is to pronounce +it correctly. Pronounce the word, saying each syllable very +distinctly, and looking closely at each syllable as you say it. + +2. With closed eyes try to see the word in your book, syllable by +syllable, as you pronounce it in a whisper. In pronouncing the words, +be sure to say each syllable distinctly. After saying the word, keep +trying to recall how the word looked in your book, and at the same +time say the letters. Spell by syllables. + +3. Open your eyes, and look at the word to see whether or not you had +it right. + +4. Look at the word again, saying the syllables very distinctly. If +you did not have the word right on your first trial, say the letters +this time as you look sharply at the syllables. + +5. Try again with closed eyes to see the word as you spell the +syllables in a whisper. + +6. Look again at your book to see if you had the word right. Keep +trying until you can spell each syllable correctly with closed eyes. + +7. When you feel sure that you have learned the word, write it without +looking at your book, and then compare your attempt with the book to +see whether or not you wrote it correctly. + +8. Now write the word three times, covering each trial with your hand +before you write the word the next time, so that you cannot copy. If +all of these trials are right, you may say that you have learned the +word for the present. If you make a single mistake, begin with the +first direction and go through each step again. + +9. Study each word by this method. Take special pains to attend closely +to each step in the method. Hard and careful work is what counts. + +=Take Pains with Your Spelling in all Writing.=--Take pride in having +your compositions and letters free from spelling errors. When you are +in the slightest doubt as to how to spell a word, look it up in the +dictionary before you write it. When you have found the word in the +dictionary, learn it by the method by which you study your regular +spelling lessons. In a similar way, if you do make a mistake in +spelling in your compositions, learn the word which you misspelled by +this same method. + +=Reviews.=--Whenever you have a few minutes after having prepared some +lesson, turn back to the errors which you have made on previous +spelling tests and spend some time going over the words which you +missed on those tests. Occasionally when you are at home, you will +find it interesting to have your mother or father or some friend test +you over all the words you have missed during the year. You should not +be satisfied until you can spell every word correctly. + +=Notebook.=--Keep a spelling notebook. Whether your teacher requires +it or not, you will find it very much worth while to keep a spelling +notebook. In this you should record all words missed on any test or in +compositions which you write. If you find that you are frequently +missing a word, write it in a special list and review it frequently. + + + + +FIRST GRADE DIRECTIONS TO FIRST GRADE TEACHERS + + +The words in the lessons for first grade children are few in number and +relatively easy. You will notice that most of them are phonetic. Each +word has been found to be used in correspondence and in a majority of +first grade readers. This list is therefore particularly appropriate for +first grade children and may be easily learned by them. The authors +recommend that this work be begun in the second half year. + +=Directions for Teaching.=--Read again the general directions on pages +vii to xvi, inclusive. In general the method used in grade one is the +same as that used in later grades. There are, however, certain +important differences. You will notice, for example, that first grade +lessons contain ten instead of twenty words. You will need also to +give more attention for the first two or three weeks to initiating +correct habits of study. Remember that teachers above grade one will +build upon habits which you initiate. + +The words in the first grade list are very simple, so that there +should be no difficulty in learning to spell them. Neither should the +children have any difficulty in understanding any of the one hundred +fifty words. + +=Directions for Schools in Which the Pupils do Not Write in Grade +One.=--The pupils in such schools should be taught to study according to +the first six directions given under How to Learn to Spell a Word, page +xv. The tests in these cases will have to be oral tests. Otherwise, +the methods recommended in the general directions may be used. + + + 1 2 3 4 + + is be but that + + and can dear to-day + + are dog did up + + day good do was + + he my go an + + in see his as + + it she little big + + me you look come + + all book not for + + at boy out get + +Standard Number of Errors + + I.

The new +words are all words frequently used, are words which second grade +children can learn easily and, for the most part, are frequently found +in the second readers most commonly used. You will find that the +method outlined below will enable you to teach these words so that +your classes will make very nearly a perfect score on them. + +=Directions for Teaching.=--Read again the directions for teaching as +given on pages vii to xvi. You will find it advisable to take some +time at the beginning of the term to teach pupils how to study. You +will still find it necessary to correct the papers yourself. You may +follow the same schedule as that outlined in the general directions. +Watch particularly for improper methods of study. + +Second grade pupils should write their tests without hesitation and +with fair speed. Explain to the pupils with great care that letters +which are not made plainly will be counted wrong. + +Remember that the lessons are arranged by weeks rather than by days. +The work for each week consists of one advance column and one review +column. The review column in each case is the fourth column preceding +the advance work. That is, it is made up of a week's work one month +old. For example, column 5 contains 20 new words to be learned in one +week. During the same week, column 1 should be reviewed. The lesson +for the first week consists of column 1, which is the advance lesson, +and of column R 1, which is the review. + + + R-1 R-2 R-3 R-4 + + dear sat top make + + fat bee playing milk + + cow baby came her + + get has pig apple + + some home give with + + we looking had when + + way love from down + + run red far six + + gold like call send + + cat going ice school + + cold corn thank live + + or box put gave + + them am fast snow + + girl then by what + + this eat made mother + + three thing night after + + ring much one just + + cannot time bed hard + + wind over sun wood + + hat they must five + +Standard Number of Errors + + I.

The supplementary list contains 80 words, which +although easy to spell are not so frequently used in writing letters +as are the words of the minimum list. This supplementary list is meant +for those schools which because of the long school term or for other +reasons, finish the minimum list before the end of the term or year. +The lessons marked R-1, R-2, R-3, R-4, are made up of the eighty words +taught in preceding grades, but which still give considerable +difficulty to third grade children. They should be thoroughly mastered. + +=Directions for Teacher.=--For the first few lessons direct your +attention to systematizing class procedure and to teaching pupils how +to study effectively. Read carefully again the suggestions on pages +vii to xvi. + +Pupils in the third grade should be able to make their own corrections +so that time may now be saved by having the pupils exchange papers +during the first two tests. The teacher should continue to correct the +papers written on the final test. The following suggestions will be +helpful in getting the cooperation of pupils. After the papers have +been exchanged say, "In writing, it is important not only that you +know how to spell, but also that you make your letters so that the +person who reads your paper can tell easily what you have written. +This is the reason that I have asked you to exchange papers. Many +people write so that certain letters cannot be told from other +letters. This is true of z, g, and y; o and a; t and l; n and u; h and +k. When you correct papers and cannot tell which of two letters the +writer intended, mark the word wrong. Also mark it wrong if a letter +has been written over or a change made. Words should be learned so +that they will be written correctly without hesitation the first time. +Any word which has not been learned so that it may be written +correctly the first time should be studied again. + +"Remember that the purpose of this test is to find out which words need +further study. It does not affect your grades. You will do the pupil +whose paper you have a favor by marking his errors so that he may +correct them. Mark each error by placing after it a cross--so (x)." + +Pupils should keep a special list of words which they have missed in +their compositions. These words should be studied by the same method +used in studying the regular spelling lesson. Such words will not be +taken up, however, in the regular lessons. + +Remember that the lessons are arranged by weeks rather than by days. +The work for each week consists of one advance column and one review +column. The review column in each case is the fourth column preceding +the advance work. That is, it is made up of a week's work one month +old. For example, column 5 contains 20 new words to be learned in one +week. During the same week, column 1 should be reviewed.

Have the pupils learn all words misspelled +in their written work, using the same method as in their regular +spelling lessons. + +Remember that the lessons are arranged by weeks rather than by days. +The work for each week consists of one advance column and one review +column.

The supplementary lessons contain 60 new +words which are not so commonly used as those in the minimum lessons. +As in preceding grades, these supplementary lessons are introduced in +order to afford additional work for classes which finish the regular +lessons before the end of the year. The lessons marked R-l, R-2, R-3, +R-4, are made up of words from the sixth grade lessons which are most +frequently misspelled by seventh grade children. + +=Directions for Teaching.=--Read carefully the suggestions on pages +vii to xvi. Read also the suggestions to teachers in the first six +grades. As in grades four, five and six, the spelling errors found in +pupils' compositions should be rigorously corrected. + +Remember that the lessons are arranged by weeks rather than by days. +The work for each week consists of one advance column and one review +column. The review column in each case is the fourth column preceding +the advance work. That is, it is made up of a week's work one month +old. For example, column 5 contains 20 new words to be learned in one +week. During the same week, column 1 should be reviewed.

The four lessons marked R-1, R-2, +R-3, R-4, are made up of those words in the preceding grades which are +most frequently missed by eighth grade students. The lesson marked +"Special Review," contains the hardest words, of the two thousand most +frequently used in correspondence. + +In addition, there are four letters which should be given as dictation +exercises. These letters contain a large number of words which are +very likely to be misspelled, as shown by their frequency of use in +correspondence and the percentage of error of eighth grade pupils who +attempt to spell them. + +Remember that the lessons are arranged by weeks rather than by days. +The work for each week consists of one advance column and one review +column.

The style of +business letters must be clear, direct, and dignified. With certain +exceptions, as in sales letters, such letters are usually made very +impersonal. On the other hand, personal letters are quite properly +regarded by many as a sort of conversation in writing. In writing to +friends or to relatives one usually desires to be informal. One of the +ways of achieving this informality is through the use of colloquial +English and contractions. In the past, many teachers of English have +cautioned students against the use of contractions in letters; but an +examination of the correspondence of writers whose letters are +regarded as models shows that most of these authors use contractions +very freely. If you will read the letters of Henry Adams, Stevenson, +Gray, Henry James, Lamb, Carroll, Walpole, Keats, Emily Dickinson, +Thackeray, Dickens, and others, you will see that in writing to +friends and members of their families they wrote much as they would +have chatted with those to whom the letters were addressed. + +In general, then, contractions are to be used only in informal or +friendly correspondence. In letters to strangers and in most business +correspondence they should be avoided. Perhaps the best guide to the +proper use of contractions is to be found in the models of writers who +are famous for their personal letters. + + can't "You can't be too careful." (Lamb) + + don't "... for, O, I don't know how long." (Stevenson) + + doesn't "He doesn't agree with them all ..." (Stevenson) + + won't "This sort of thing won't do." (H. James) + + it's "... It's a glorious afternoon ..." (E. Dickinson) + + I'm "I'm three parts through Burns; ..." (Stevenson) + + I'll "I'll try to improve it ..." (Stevenson) + + haven't "... I haven't yet had time to give ..." (H. James) + + you'll "You'll never guess; ..." (Carroll) + + isn't "It isn't like gold ..." (E. Dickinson) + + I've "So I've been idle." (Stevenson) + + we'll "We'll finish an education sometime ..." (E. Dickinson) + + wouldn't "... but Stephen wouldn't allow it ..." (Stevenson) + + didn't "... I didn't see him." (Fitzgerald) + + I'd "Another shot and I'd have gone to kingdom come." (Stevenson) + + you'd "... and I beg you'd believe me ..." (Gray) + + hadn't "... if you hadn't seen her ..." (H. James) + + hasn't "This ought to have made me gay, but it hasn't." (Stevenson) + + couldn't "If it were easy to write a play, I couldn't ... think + of it." (H. James) + + wasn't "Wasn't it curious?" (Carroll) + + + + +DICTATION EXERCISES + + +The following letters contain a large number of words which occur with +relatively high frequency in correspondence, and are quite likely to +be misspelled by persons of eighth grade education. They should be +dictated in short phrases of three to five words without repetition, +pausing after each dictated phrase for the children to write. The rate +should be such, however, that the dictation and writing will be +completed in the time designated in the note preceding each letter. On +the average this will be about one and one-half lines per minute. A +little practice will enable the teacher to dictate at this rate +without difficulty. + +Pupils should be able to write these letters at the given speed +without hesitation or error of spelling before they have completed the +work of this grade. + + +LETTER NO. 1 + +This letter should be dictated in three sections. The first exercise +extends to the end of the first paragraph, including the heading and +salutation, and should be written in 8 minutes. The second exercise +includes the second and third paragraphs and should be written in 9 +minutes. The third exercise completes the letter and should be written +in 6-1/2 minutes. + + Des Moines, Iowa, + June 2, 1920. + + DEAR MAMMA, + +I suppose you feel that I have been very slow about writing, but I +haven't had a minute for either letter writing or pleasure the past +few days. I took my last test this forenoon--the terrible and much +dreaded literature examination. It lasted from ten o'clock until noon, +and though it was different from what I had expected I think I got +along all right. I probably won't get an excellent grade, for I just +had to make a guess at one answer I didn't know, but you can't imagine +how happy I am to be all through. Tomorrow will be the last day of +school and our superintendent is going to let us celebrate with a +class party. + +Aunt Lucy wants me to stay with her another month, but I am coming +home Saturday, for I know I'll be eager to get back to the farm just +as soon as we have good weather again. Last Sunday I accepted Edith's +invitation to spend the day with her. She lives about thirty miles +from Des Moines, and I enjoyed the drive over the country roads. I'm +sure I'll never lose my love for the farm. + +I must tell you, too, about Edith's brother, a lieutenant, who got his +commission at the same time John did. He is personally acquainted with +John's captain and knew several other men in that company. I was very +much interested in his account of his army experiences. + +I appreciated the check you enclosed in your last letter, for I needed +some money for my new dress. I never realized before this year how much +it costs to clothe a girl. I wish you were here to advise me what kind +of material to get. I miss your judgment when I try to go shopping +alone. Aunt Lucy's voile dress has given her a great deal of service, +and so I think I'll decide on that material for my best summer dress. + +Remember me to the boys when you write, and give my love to +Grandmother. I do hope her rheumatism is better. + + Affectionately, + + HELEN. + + +LETTER NO. 2 + +This letter should be dictated in two sections. The first exercise +extends to the end of the first paragraph, including the heading and +salutation, and should be written in 12 minutes. The second exercise +completes the letter and should be written in 7 minutes. + + October 18, 1920. + + Iowa Land and Loan Company, + 706-712 Commerce Building, + Des Moines, Iowa. + + GENTLEMEN, + +We take this occasion to acknowledge the receipt of your letter of the +17th inst., and sincerely appreciate the interest which you have shown +in our association. We must find a permanent location for our +Chautauqua, and believe that we have found lots which will be +satisfactory, especially since they are in a really pleasant locality, +convenient to the college. Since it will be necessary to investigate +this business opportunity immediately, we are referring the matter to +a committee and we feel the analysis of the situation will be +complete. The committee to which this matter is referred will probably +recommend giving a mortgage but quite certainly will receive advice on +this point from representative citizens. The money to carry on the +investigation is in the First National Bank, the certificate of +deposit being in the hands of the treasurer of the association. + +If possible the members of the association would like to issue the +bulletin which contains the course by the beginning of the season, +whether the matter of permanent grounds is thoroughly investigated, or +not. Experience has taught us, too, that the bulletins are received +with more enthusiasm at an early date. + +The truly awful accident of last year in which two people were killed +when the tent fell will have its influence on our present campaign for +a permanent building. + +Kindly give this matter your attention at your earliest convenience. + + Respectfully yours, + + HENRY JONES. + + +LETTER NO. 3 + +This letter should be dictated in two sections. The first exercise +extends to the end of the second paragraph and should be written in 7 +minutes. The second exercise completes the letter and should be +written in 9 minutes. + + Minneapolis, Minnesota, + March 26, 1920. + + DEAR FATHER, + +You can see from the article which I enclose that we did not +disappoint our principal, even though it has been impossible to +practice during the past week. Under the circumstances it doesn't seem +possible that we could have won, but maybe our success was due to +having no practice before the game. Some of the teams seemed rather +over-trained. + +The coach changed me to right forward, although, as you know, I +usually play at guard. I suppose there was a doubt in his mind as to +whether I could guard the tall forwards on some of the teams. + +Our team never played together better. We didn't have so great a +variety of plays as some of the other teams, but relied almost +entirely upon our short passing game. What I liked especially was that +there wasn't a single poor official. One of the officials was the man +who spoke last fall on our community health program. + +I suppose the team will reach home Saturday night. I am sure that we +ought not to stay here later than Saturday noon. The teams were +entertained at the various fraternity houses and the men have been +very much crowded to make room for us. We certainly appreciate the +good treatment we have received from these men and from everyone. + + Affectionately, your son, + + HARRY. + + +LETTER NO. 4 + +This letter should be dictated in three sections. The first exercise +extends to the end of the second paragraph, including the heading and +the salutation, and should be written in 9 minutes. The second +exercise includes the rest of the letter and should be written in 12 +minutes. Not more than one exercise should be given in one day. + + Newark, New Jersey, + December 3, 1920. + + Mr. Frank A. Hardy, Managing Editor, + National Insurance Journal, + Boston, Massachusetts. + + MY DEAR MR. HARDY, + +I am glad to make an immediate reply to your inquiry of December 1, +regarding Miss Henry's qualifications. + +It is now eight years since Miss Henry first took a position with us. +She began as mail clerk, working up rapidly through the ranks, until she +became private secretary to Mr. Baldwin, President of the Central +Insurance Company, in which capacity she has served for four years, +becoming an important part of the institution. We have found her always +courteous, thoroughly efficient in her work, and absolutely reliable. + +She is well equipped for a position on an insurance publication because +of her magazine writing, which she has been doing in connection with a +course in journalism at the university this year. She has been most +successful in this work and hopes to find time to do more of it during +the summer term if her schedule will permit. It was only because of her +great desire to continue her education that we were willing to accept +her resignation, and we knew that this year's work at the university +would mean a broader field for her in the future. + +I am enclosing a record of Miss Henry's work, on the usual form kept +for each employee, showing the approximate progress she made during +her eight years with us and her increased value to the company, and I +am also sending under separate cover Miss Henry's photograph, as you +suggested. + +Hoping I may hear from you further if there is any additional +information you require, I am + + Very sincerely yours, + + JOHN SMITH. + + + + +SUPPLEMENT WHICH CONTAINS CERTAIN RULES AND DEFINITIONS OFTEN TAUGHT +AS A PART OF THE COURSE OF STUDY IN SPELLING + + +As a part of the course of study in spelling, there is occasionally +found a provision for word study and for teaching certain rules and +definitions. The following supplement is added as a guide in schools +which make such a requirement. Ordinarily such topics as derivation of +words, root prefixes, suffixes, homonyms, antonyms, synonyms, and +hyphens are taught, either as a part of composition or as a part of +dictionary exercises. + +The value of teaching spelling rules is still somewhat a matter of +controversy, although the weight of experimental evidence seems to +indicate that children do not profit from a study of the rules in +spelling, as much as they profit from the same amount of time spent in +the direct study of the important words covered by these rules. +However, since some city and state courses of study require the +teaching of the rules, it seems advisable to put the more important +rules in this supplement. + +An effort has been made to state these rules in the simplest manner +possible, within the limits of accuracy. Great care has been taken, +also, to tabulate, for each rule, the words frequently used in +correspondence, which are exceptions. + +The teacher should understand clearly that it is not the intention of +the authors to have these rules take the place of the direct teaching +of any word. Rather they are to be regarded as supplementary +exercises. It is doubtful whether much attention should be given to +rules before grade seven. + + +DERIVATION OF WORDS + +Often one word is built up from several words or syllables. The most +important part of such a built-up word is called the root, or base. +This root or base had an original meaning which is usually clear, +especially in purely English words, as in-side, happi-ness, etc. Many +built-up or derivative words are from other languages. A few examples +may help to illustrate: + + 1. international--Latin inter (between) plus nation (nation) plus + al (pertaining to)--between nations, pertaining to intercourse + between nations. + + The root is "nation." + + 2. extraordinary--Latin extra (on the outside, out of) plus + ordinarius (ordinary)--out of the ordinary, unusual. + + The root is "ordinar." + + 3. provide--Latin pro (before) plus vid (to look or see)--to look + before or ahead, to look out for in advance. + + The root is "vid." + + 4. convention--Latin con (together) plus ven (to come) plus tion + (act of)--act of coming together--meeting. + + The root is "ven." + + Many roots or bases are taken directly from the English: + + 1. out-come--act of coming out--that which comes out of something + else--result. + + 2. in-side--inner side or surface. + + 3. cheer-ful--full of cheer. + + 4. happi-ness--state of being happy. + +In studying these words, you may have noticed that something besides +the root or base is needed to make the meaning clear. The other two +parts which help to make up words are called prefixes and suffixes. +These will be taken up separately. + + +PREFIXES + +A prefix is a word or syllable placed before another word, and so +completely joined to it that it changes the meaning of the basic word. + + NOTE TO TEACHER:--Have the pupils select in the lessons of your + grade, words which have similar prefixes. + +As you can see in the list below, the final consonant of a prefix has +often been changed to make the pronunciation easier, but does not +disappear when added to the stem. Thus, ad-cord became ac-cord, +ad-fect became af-fect, etc. + + =Prefix= | =Definition= | =Illustration= + | | + ab (abs, a) |from, away |abandon + | | + ad (ac, af, ag, al, an, ap, | | + ar, as, at) |to |accommodate + | | + ante |before |antecedent + | | + circum |about, around |circumstance + | | + com (co, col, con, cor) |with, together |compare, concert + | | + de |from, down, away |desert, debate + | | + dis (dif, de) |apart, not |disobey + | | + ex (e, ef) |out, out of, away from, | + | off, beyond |expect + | | + extra |out of |extraordinary + | | + in (ill, im, ir) |in, into, not, without |inside + | | + inter |among, between, mutually|interurban + | | + non |not |nonsense + | | + per |through, by, for |perhaps + | | + post |behind, after |postpone + | | + pre |before |prevent + | | + pro |forward, before, instead|provide + | | + re |back, again, against |return + | | + se |aside, apart, without |separate + | | + sub (suc, suf, sug, sup, | | + sur) |under, below, near |subject, succeed + | | + super |over, above, beyond |superintendent + | | + trans (tran, tra) |across, over, beyond, | + | through |transfer, travel + + +SUFFIXES + +A suffix is a syllable or word which is added to the end of another +word to change the meaning of the basic word. + + NOTE TO TEACHER:--As the suffix is often closely connected with + the root of the word, not much stress will be laid on learning + suffixes by themselves. A few of the more common ones will be + noted. + + =Suffix=| =Definition= | =Illustration= + | | + ful |with or full of |cheerful + | | + less |without |careless, doubtless + | | + ness |state of being |happiness + | | + ly |like or like in manner |happily + | | + ment |act, state, a thing that|development + | | + some |act of being |lonesome + + +HOMONYMS + +A homonym is a word pronounced exactly like another, but differing +from it in meaning. A few homonyms are spelled in the same way, as +"weed," a garment, and "weed," a plant. Only a small group of the more +common type will be given here. + + NOTE TO TEACHER:--It has been deemed advisable to omit giving an + extensive list of homonyms here. You may refer the pupils to the + lists of homonyms which occur in the regular spelling lessons of + the first five grades. For example, the following lists are among + those which contain homonyms:--16 in grade I; 18, 19, 20, in + grade II; 12 words in 28 of grade III; 32 in grade IV; etc. + + =Word= | =Definition= | =Sentence= + | | + 1. flour |a fine meal of ground wheat | + | or other grain |Mother uses flour in baking + | | bread. + | | + flower|a blossom |The rose is a beautiful + | | flower. + | | + 2. no |not, not any |I have no work to do. + | | + know |to understand |Do you know your lesson? + | | + 3. son |a male child; the male offspring| + | of a parent, father or mother |John is my son. + | | + sun |the heavenly body which produces|The sun rises in the east. + | the light of day | + + +SYNONYMS + +Synonyms are words that have almost the same meaning. If you were to +look up the simple words "cut" and "ask" you would find the following +synonyms: + +For "cut"--carve, lance, bite, dissect, snip, saw, slice, slit, slash, +etc. + +For "ask"--beg, crave, entreat, beseech, implore, move, plead, +solicit, etc. No two of these synonyms mean exactly the same thing, +but they express different shades of the same meaning. + +Practice Exercises: Find as many synonyms as you can for the following +words: + + best + decide + effort + deceive + imagine + dark + time + form + pleasure + public + +Any lesson in the book may be used for an exercise in discovering +synonyms. + + +ANTONYMS + +Words of opposite meaning are called antonyms. For example, +black--white; big--little; and open--closed, are so named. + +Practice Exercises: Try to think of antonyms for the following words: + + cold + come + dull + inside + fat + front + good + high + in + large + up + long + new + poor + slow + spring + sweet + tall + wet + winter + + +THE HYPHEN + +Authorities differ in regard to the use of the hyphen. However, there +are two rules which always hold good: (1). The hyphen is used to +separate compound adjectives; (2). The hyphen is used to show, at the +end of a line, that a word has been divided. (Such a word must be +divided between syllables.) In other cases, when you cannot decide +whether or not to use a hyphen, consult the dictionary used in your +school. It is much less frequently used than formerly. + + +RULES FOR SPELLING + +=I. Formation of Possessives= + +1. The following list is made up of words in the singular number. To +form the possessive, add an apostrophe and "s." + + horse's head + man's coat + girl's dress + boy's shoes + soldier's uniform + child's laugh + sheep's wool + sister's hat + +2. The following list is made up of plural nouns that do not end in +"s." To form the possessive, add an apostrophe and "s." + + children's clothes + men's shirts + women's praise + gentlemen's plans + +3. The following list is made up of plural nouns ending in "s." + +To form the possessive, add only an apostrophe. + + miles' walk + girls' clothing + years' word + pupils' attention + +=II. Treatment of the final consonant before a suffix= + +1. The following list contains words of one syllable. Notice that each +word ends in a consonant, and that in every word there is a single +short vowel preceding it. In all such words, the final consonant is +doubled before adding a suffix beginning with a vowel. + + big--bigg (er) (est) + drop--dropp(ed) (ing) + stop--stopp(ed) (ing) + plan--plann(ed) (ing) + begin--beginn(er) (ing) + +2. The following list contains verbs of more than one syllable. Each +verb is accented on the last syllable, and ends in a single consonant +preceded by a single short vowel. In such verbs, the final consonant +is doubled before a suffix beginning with a vowel. + + beginn(ing) + referr(ed) (ing) + occurr(ed) + forgott(en) + remitt(ance) + +=III. Adding suffixes to words ending in "e"= + +1. A word ending in silent "e" drops the "e" before a vowel, as: + + come--coming + hope--hoping + serve--serving + appreciate--appreciating + vote--voting + +2. When a suffix beginning with a consonant is added to a word ending +in "e," the "e" is kept. + + announce--announce-ment + hope--hope-ful + late--late-ly + care--care-less + lone--lone-some + +3. "E" is retained to keep the soft sound of "c" and "g" before "a" +and "o" as in notice--notice-able, and advantage--advantage-ous. + +=Exceptions:= + +Of the words commonly used in writing letters the following exceptions +are to be made: + +a. When a suffix beginning with a consonant is added to a word ending +in "e": + +(1) Only three words drop "e" before adding "ment": judgment, +acknowledgment, argument. + +(2) Only one word drops "e" before adding "ful": awful. + +(3) Only three words drop "e" before adding "ly": + + true--truly + due--duly + whole--wholly + +b. When the last syllable of a word ends in "le," "ly" does not make a +new syllable, as: probable---probably, possible--possibly, +simple--simply. + +(When "ly" is added to words ending in "l," both "l's" are retained, +as: practical--practically, careful--carefully.) + +=IV. Treatment of the final "y"= + +1. To form the plural of a noun ending in "y" preceded by a consonant, +change the "y" to "i" and add "es." + + lady--ladies + quantity--quantities + quality--qualities + +2. When a verb ends in "y" preceded by a consonant, change the "y" to +"i" and add "es" to form the third person singular of the verb. To +form the past tense of the verb, change the "y" to "i" and add "ed." + + fry--fries + cry--cries + bury--buried + carry--carried + +3. When a word ends in "y" preceded by a vowel, form the plural by +adding "s." + + turkey--turkeys + chimney--chimneys + valley--valleys + +4. When "y" is preceded by a consonant, change it to "i" before a +suffix which does not begin with "i," as in business, readily, +happiness, etc. + +Retain "y" in such words as: hurrying, crying, flying, etc. + +=V. Treatment and use of the apostrophe= + +1. Put the apostrophe in the place of the absent letter or letters: +aren't, don't, didn't, can't, I'll, etc. + +2. Possessives of personal pronouns have no apostrophe, as: its, hers, +ours, yours, etc. + +=VI. Irregular Plurals= + +Some words ending in "f" or "fe" form their plurals by changing the +"f" or "fe" to "v" and adding "es." + + half--halves + knife--knives + life--lives + leaf--leaves + calf--calves + wife--wives + +=VII. Confusion of "ei" and "ie"= + + NOTE TO TEACHER:--Experimental evidence does not seem to show + that this rule is very effective, but if it is taught, the + following presentation is recommended. + +Whenever "i" and "e" occur together in one syllable, and are +pronounced as "[=e]" or "[)e]," it is always "i" before "e" except +after "c" (see). When sounded like "[=a]" it is always "e" before "i." +Some have used the following jingle to help fix the rule: + + "i" before "e" + Except after "c" + Or when sounded like "a" + As in neighbor or weigh. + +Four of the words most commonly used in writing letters are exceptions +to these rules: neither, leisure, foreign, height. + + + + +Transcriber's Note: + + + * Text enclosed between equal signs was in bold face in the + original (=bold=). + + * Punctuation errors have been corrected. + + * All misprinted reference pages throughout the book have been + corrected (vii-xvi). + + * Pg 17 Added missing "opening quotation" before "Remember" in "Remember + that the purpose of this test ..." + + * Pg 97 Removed ")" after "I didn't see him.")" and added "(" + before "Fitzgerald". + + * Pg 97 Corrected spelling of "kindom" to "kingdom" in "... gone + to kindom come" + + * Pg 103 Corrected spelling of "expecially" to "especially" in + "... expecially since they are in ..." + + * Pg 109 Corrected spelling of "occassionally" to "occasionally" + in "... there is occassionally found ..." + + + + + +End of the Project Gutenberg EBook of Lippincott's Horn-Ashbaugh Speller, by +Ernest Horn and Ernest J.

It exists +because of the efforts of hundreds of volunteers and donations from +people in all walks of life. + +Volunteers and financial support to provide volunteers with the +assistance they need, are critical to reaching Project Gutenberg-tm's +goals and ensuring that the Project Gutenberg-tm collection will +remain freely available for generations to come. In 2001, the Project +Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation was created to provide a secure +and permanent future for Project Gutenberg-tm and future generations. +To learn more about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation +and how your efforts and donations can help, see Sections 3 and 4 +and the Foundation web page at http://www.pglaf.org. + + +Section 3.

Information about Donations to the Project Gutenberg +Literary Archive Foundation + +Project Gutenberg-tm depends upon and cannot survive without wide +spread public support and donations to carry out its mission of +increasing the number of public domain and licensed works that can be +freely distributed in machine readable form accessible by the widest +array of equipment including outdated equipment. Many small donations +($1 to $5,000) are particularly important to maintaining tax exempt +status with the IRS. + +The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating +charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United +States. Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a +considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and keep up +with these requirements. We do not solicit donations in locations +where we have not received written confirmation of compliance. To +SEND DONATIONS or determine the status of compliance for any +particular state visit http://pglaf.org + +While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where we +have not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no prohibition +against accepting unsolicited donations from donors in such states who +approach us with offers to donate. + +International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make +any statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from +outside the United States. U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff. + +Please check the Project Gutenberg Web pages for current donation +methods and addresses. Donations are accepted in a number of other +ways including checks, online payments and credit card donations. +To donate, please visit: http://pglaf.org/donate + + +Section 5. General Information About Project Gutenberg-tm electronic +works. + +Professor Michael S. Hart is the originator of the Project Gutenberg-tm +concept of a library of electronic works that could be freely shared +with anyone. For thirty years, he produced and distributed Project +Gutenberg-tm eBooks with only a loose network of volunteer support. + + +Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks are often created from several printed +editions, all of which are confirmed as Public Domain in the U.S. +unless a copyright notice is included. Thus, we do not necessarily +keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper edition. + + +Most people start at our Web site which has the main PG search facility: + + http://www.gutenberg.org + +This Web site includes information about Project Gutenberg-tm, +including how to make donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary +Archive Foundation, how to help produce our new eBooks, and how to +subscribe to our email newsletter to hear about new eBooks. diff --git a/33826.zip b/33826.zip Binary files differnew file mode 100644 index 0000000..a9f0237 --- /dev/null +++ b/33826.zip diff --git a/LICENSE.txt b/LICENSE.txt new file mode 100644 index 0000000..6312041 --- /dev/null +++ b/LICENSE.txt @@ -0,0 +1,11 @@ +This eBook, including all associated images, markup, improvements, +metadata, and any other content or labor, has been confirmed to be +in the PUBLIC DOMAIN IN THE UNITED STATES. + +Procedures for determining public domain status are described in +the "Copyright How-To" at https://www.gutenberg.org. + +No investigation has been made concerning possible copyrights in +jurisdictions other than the United States.
