SHERMAN + FORMERLY SUPERINTENDENT OF SCHOOLS + MONSON, MASS. + + [Illustration] + + NEW YORK + NEWSON & COMPANY + + COPYRIGHT, 1916, BY + NEWSON & COMPANY. + + _All rights reserved._ + + + + +PREFACE + + +To teachers and the public alike, probably no subject taught in +the public schools has been more disappointing than spelling. This +disappointment is undoubtedly due to: + +1. Defective material for study and poor methods of teaching; + +2. Too much testing and too little teaching; + +3. Finding errors rather than preventing them; + +4. The use of a theoretical, rather than the practical, vocabulary of +children and adults. + +The teaching of spelling must be done from a spelling book in the hands +of the children, since the individual teacher does not have the time to +prepare lists of words which will produce as good results as the lists +given in a spelling book, the selection and preparation of which are the +result of years of special observation and testing. + +A plan of teaching spelling to secure the best results should consist of +a thoughtful, systematic, and comprehensive presentation of the words and +spelling facts which every pupil must learn. It must contain an adequate +and simple system of phonics for the primary grades, since a large +percentage of the words in common use are purely phonetic and present no +spelling difficulties once a sane and practical phonetic foundation is +fixed. It must have a vocabulary selected and graded with such care that +it will give the child the ability to spell correctly those words which +he needs to use in his written work, and that it will also develop and +broaden his vocabulary for his future needs. It should contain suitable +directions and hints to the teacher, sufficiently removed from the +pupil’s text so that he may not be confused by them. It may, and in many +grades should, contain information and suggestions to the pupil that will +help him to master the many peculiarly non-phonetic words which present +their individual problems and must be individually mastered. It should +contain a very few of the most important spelling rules simply stated. +It should contain a large variety of sentences for dictation, which +may wisely take the form of gems of thought. Such a plan, well taught, +constantly supplemented by the teacher with such words as the peculiar +difficulties of individual pupils and classes may require, will produce a +maximum of ability to spell correctly. + +In the Aldine Speller the authors have presented a plan of teaching +which in actual results has proved singularly effective. The vocabulary +has been selected and graded with unusual care to meet the actual needs +of life and to develop a spelling sense. In its preparation a careful +comparison was made of the vocabularies of several of the most popular +spelling books of the day in respect to both gradation and selection. +Paralleling this, the various recent tests and investigations, notably +those of Ayres, Jones, and Cook and O’Shea, have been checked. The +resulting vocabulary is thought to represent the real writing vocabulary +of the average child of the grade in which it is taught. Special and +repeated drills are given on the real trouble makers—the one hundred +and more words that comprise four-fifths of the misspelled words of the +schoolroom. + +In the primary grades use is made of exceptionally valuable phonetic +lists. Emphasis is placed upon this important and very practical +foundation for the development of a spelling sense, and its mastery in +the primary grades will do much to train children to spell correctly. A +few comparatively uncommon words are used in these lists chiefly for the +value of the phonetic drill. + +As every error creates a tendency, and if repeated quickly establishes +a habit, it is important that the correct spelling of words be taught +before children have occasion to write them. Every worth-while test and +investigation shows the most common and most useful words in our language +to be the words used early by children. It is likewise certain that very +many of the misspelled words are one-syllable words in very common use. +It would, therefore, seem essential that the real teaching of spelling +should be done as early as possible in the grades—somewhat earlier than +has frequently been the case—that correct habits, rather than incorrect +ones, may be formed. + +Obligation is expressed to Dr. Leonard P. Ayres of the Russell Sage +Foundation for kind permission to make use of his list of “The Thousand +Commonest Words.” These and some four thousand other very common and +important words constitute the Aldine vocabulary. + +That the Aldine Speller may lead to some real teaching, and decrease +“lesson hearing,” is the hope of the authors. + + + + +DIRECTIONS TO TEACHERS + + +ORAL SPELLING + +Oral spelling should always precede written spelling in the primary +grades. Careful and distinct pronunciation by the child should always +precede oral spelling. Children cannot be expected to spell correctly +words that they cannot pronounce. It is well to emphasize the form of a +word of more than one syllable by syllabication. It makes the spelling +more obvious, promotes clear enunciation, and assists in creating a +correct mental picture of the word. The sight words in this book are so +syllabicated when first presented. A slight pause between the syllables +is usually sufficient in oral spelling. In writing the words they should +not be divided. + + +TESTING + +The mere “hearing” of spelling lessons is happily a thing of the past in +most schools. However, teachers cannot be too strongly impressed with the +worthlessness of such exercises. The primary object is to instruct, not +to examine—to teach to spell correctly, not to find out how many words +may be spelled incorrectly. Review lessons should be given frequently, +and these are sufficient for test purposes. All other lessons should be +thoroughly taught with instruction the aim and object of the lesson. + + +INTEREST + +It has been well said that “interest is nine-tenths of education.” This +is true in teaching spelling. Any means which will arouse interest in +mastering words is likely to be effective. So far as our forefathers +succeeded in securing results in this subject they did so by interest +in the old-fashioned “spelling-bee.” Spelling matches of various sorts +are desirable for creating interest. The review lists and special lists +will be found admirable for this purpose. It should be remembered, +however, that this is testing what is already learned and is not teaching +something new. + + +PUPILS’ LISTS + +Each pupil has his own difficulties in spelling. Teach him to make +private lists of the words which he finds especially hard to spell and +have him use extra effort to conquer these trouble-makers. These may +be listed in the back of his textbook or in his individual note book. +Occasional lessons may be devoted entirely to this kind of exercise and +they should be individual and painstaking. Such words should be watched +for in the other written work and misspelling prevented rather than +corrected. Besides making the misspelled words the basis of a lesson +they may well be correctly and carefully written on the board with the +difficulty shown in colored crayon. If possible leave them in sight for +several days. + + +HOMOPHONES + +Words spelled differently but pronounced alike should be kept apart until +the spelling of each has become fixed and the ability to use correctly +in sentences reasonably sure. Then only may they safely be brought +together for comparison. When this is done much care must be used that no +confusion may exist in the child’s mind as to the proper use of each. + + +ORDER OF PRESENTATION + +All children do not learn spelling equally well in the same way. Some are +sense organ learners while others are largely motor organ learners. Most +children are both. In all cases the order of seeing words, hearing them +pronounced, pronouncing them, spelling them aloud, and then writing them, +will be found to be most effective. Appeal is thus made successively to +the eye, the ear, the memory, and the hand. + + +ENUNCIATION + +Poor enunciation is a common source of incorrect spelling. Occasionally +test your pupils on sounding words. See to it that they learn to give +the right value to the vowel sounds and do not omit any that should be +sounded. Do not permit _in_ for _ing_, final _ed_ to be sounded like +_t_, or “body” to be sounded “buddy.” Remember that “A word correctly +pronounced is half spelled.” + + +PROPER NAMES + +No place has been given in this book to proper names, since the needs +of different classrooms vary so widely. They must be thoroughly taught, +however, and it is the teacher’s duty to teach such proper names as her +pupils need to use. Strongly emphasize the fact that these proper names +always begin with a capital letter. + + +USING THE STORIES + +Read the stories, “The Two Scouts” and “The Two Boys” with the pupils. +See that they understand the meaning and the object of telling these +stories. Keep them before the pupils by constant application to their +own efforts. If you wish, you may keep records of the work of the +scouts, giving the successful ones decorations—stars or crosses on the +blackboard, or on especially prepared charts. + + +CAREFUL TEACHING + +In teaching every lesson, do your part by pronouncing every word clearly +and correctly; by requiring the children to do the same, paying especial +care to final _d_, _t_, and _ing_; by training the child really to see +the word, calling attention to silent letters, unusual combinations, and +applying the rules that are given in their books. + + +USE AND MEANING + +Remember, it is not enough that children pronounce and spell words +correctly. They should know the meaning and how to use each word. To help +them to make the words in their book part of their vocabulary, certain +devices are used. + +1. Many of the words are grouped in their natural connection—school +words, letter words, business and trade words, journey words, etc. A few +suggestions showing how these group words may be used are given in the +book. Oral work should always precede the written work. See Lesson 89, +Sixth Year, for illustration. See that the children’s sentences are well +expressed before allowing any writing. Perhaps it will not be necessary +to write at all. It _is_ necessary that every child should know how to +use and spell the words correctly. + +2. When a word is taught, one or more of its common derivatives are +given,—a saving in study of the spelling lesson, and an added clearness +to meaning. For illustrations see Lessons 39 and 42. + +3. Well-selected quotations from the best sources are given, showing the +words used correctly. Many of these quotations should be memorized; some +should be dictated; some are to be reproduced; some are to be copied, +substituting other words in place of underlined words; all are to be read +intelligently, that the pupils may learn the true meaning of the words by +meeting them in their right context. + + +SPELLING DEMONS + +On pages 11 and 12 is a remarkable list of words frequently misspelled. +They are given here by permission of the compiler, Dr. W. F. Jones of +the University of South Dakota. He has happily named them the “One +Hundred Spelling Demons of the English Language.” As the result of a most +exhaustive and careful investigation he finds them to be not only the +most commonly misspelled words, but frequently and persistently to be +misspelled in all grades. + +These words have been taught and frequently reviewed. Call the children’s +attention over and over again to the difficulties in them. Use some of +them daily. Hold the children to the correct spelling of them in all +written work. Make opportunities to use them. Keep a record in plain +sight, showing the children’s progress in conquering them. Make the +mastery of these words a matter personal to yourself, even to the extent +of considering your teaching a failure if every child in the fifth year +does not form the habit of correctly spelling this list. Call attention +to these pages at the beginning of the year, and arouse the children’s +interest and ambition to master the words as early as possible. + +On page 49 is given another list of lesser “demons.” The sixth-grade +teacher should in like manner hold herself responsible for this list. +Keep on urging and testing until each child has mastered his particular +“word demons.” + + +REVIEW LISTS + +On pages 27-28 and 65-66 are lists of words for review. These are +selected from “The One Thousand Commonest Words” as found by Dr. +Ayres, and are here used by permission. Without special study, at +least seventy-nine per cent of those given on pages 27-28 were spelled +correctly by the fifth-grade children in eighty-four cities in the United +States, and at least seventy-nine per cent of those given on pages 65-66 +were spelled correctly by the sixth-grade children in the same schools. +Careful teaching should give a much higher percentage. + + +THE VOCABULARY + +The vocabulary, alphabetically arranged for each year, will be found +on pages 29 and 67. Encourage the children to use this vocabulary to +check up the words that they are positive they can spell correctly, and +for reference in finding any word they may wish to use in their written +work. These lists of words may also be used for oral spelling matches or +written reviews. + + +SUMMARY + +To sum up: Arouse a spelling interest; develop a spelling sense; teach +the children how to study intelligently; review constantly; keep definite +records of progress; find each child’s “word demons” and master them; do +thoughtful teaching. + + + + +TO THE GIRLS AND BOYS: + + +THE TWO SCOUTS + +Once upon a time the general of an army found himself in a serious +position. He was shut up in a fortified town and his food supply was very +low. In order to find out something of the position, strength, and plans +of the enemy, he sent two young soldiers out as scouts. + +After many hardships the scouts came within sight of the enemy’s lines. +While they were looking down on the hostile camp from the top of a high +tree, two officers came riding toward them. When they reached the tree +in which the frightened scouts were hidden, the officers stopped to rest +their horses in the shade. Never dreaming that their conversation could +be overheard, they discussed their plans freely and rode away. As soon as +it was safe, the two scouts came to the ground. + +“What a lucky escape!” said one. “We might both have been captured. This +teaches us a lesson. We will separate. Then if one is captured, the other +can carry our information to the general.” + +So they separated, and in due time one of the scouts came into the +general’s presence. + +“Well,” said the general, “how many men have the enemy?” + +“Ever and ever so many,” answered the scout. + +“Cavalry? Artillery? What?” asked the general sharply. + +“Both,” replied the scout. + +“Where are they?” asked the general. + +“On the other side of the wood,” said the scout. + +“But can’t you give me a better idea of their number and position?” cried +the impatient officer. + +“I only know that there are ever and ever so many of them, and that they +are scattered all over the countryside,” was the answer. + +“Well, did you learn anything of their plans?” asked the almost +discouraged general. + +“Yes,” answered the scout eagerly. “I heard two officers talking. They +are going to besiege us, attack Clifton, and wait for reënforcements.” + +“But what are they going to do first?” asked the anxious general. + +“I don’t remember,” was the answer. + +“I know no more than I did before you started! To think of the chance you +have lost!” exclaimed the officer. + +Just then the second scout entered. + +“What have you to report?” asked the general. + +The young man drew a piece of paper toward him and by a rough sketch and +a few words of explanation, showed the general the position and number +of the enemy, so that he saw at a glance their strength and weakness. +Then he added: “The officers that discussed their plans under our tree +say that they will wait for reënforcements. Then part of their army will +besiege us closely, keeping us busy, while the main army will capture +Clifton.” + +“You have saved our army!” cried the delighted general. “From to-day you +are ranked as captain. We will break through their lines before their +reënforcements come up, and march to the relief of Clifton!” + +Then turning to the first scout, he said: “You saw and heard exactly the +same things as this young man, but instead of bringing me news worth +while, you brought only a confused report. Do you know why you failed and +he succeeded?” + +“Yes,” was the answer, “he’s a born scout. I’m not.” + +“Nonsense!” replied the general. “He has trained himself to _see +exactly_, to _hear exactly_, and to _repeat exactly_. That’s all that is +needed to make a born scout.” + + +THE TWO BOYS + +Two boys were set to study the same spelling lesson. When it was time to +write the lesson, one boy knew that a certain word “had an _i_ and an _e_ +in it,” but he could not tell which came first, so he guessed and failed. +When the teacher pronounced another word, he wasn’t just sure what she +did say, so again he guessed and again he failed. When called upon to +read the words in the lesson, he left off final letters and slurred other +letters, so that he did not even pronounce the words correctly, and as a +perfectly pronounced word is half spelled, he failed once more. The other +boy had a perfect paper. + +The teacher said: “You boys had the same list of words to study, and the +same time in which to master them. You had the same chance to hear them +pronounced correctly and to pronounce them yourselves. Yet John has a +perfect paper, and Tom has a failure. Do you know why?” + +“John is a natural-born speller,” answered Tom. “I am not.” + +“Nonsense!” replied the teacher. “John has trained himself to _see +exactly_, to make a good mind picture of the word, just as the successful +scout did of the enemy’s lines, and so with his pencil he can reproduce +it exactly. He, like the same scout, has trained his ear to _hear +exactly_, and his mind to _reproduce exactly_. That’s all that is needed +to make a born speller.” + +Which scout did Tom most resemble? Which would you rather be like? + +Are you a “natural-born speller,” that is, do you + + _See exactly,_ + _Hear exactly,_ + _Pronounce exactly?_ + + + + +THE ALDINE SPELLER + +PART THREE + +FIFTH YEAR + +[Illustration: A place for everything & everything in its place] + + +[Illustration] + +1 + + con quer + con quer or + prize + gen tle man + gen tle men + +2 + + Who misses or who wins the prize, + Go, lose or conquer as you can, + But if you fall, or if you rise, + Be each, pray God, a gentleman. + + —THACKERAY. + +3 + + a gree a ble + dis a gree a ble + a gree ment + sit u a tion + cheer ful ness + +4 + + hu mor + hu mor ous + trans form + peace + peace ful + +5 + + hap pens + hap pened + un pleas ant + ex act ly + dif fi cult + +6 + + source + de stroy + meant + du ty + du ties + +7 + +CHEERFULNESS + +If anything disagreeable happens, try to see the funny side of it, and do +not let it destroy your peace of mind. + +To see the funny side will often transform an unpleasant situation into a +merry one. + +Man is meant to be cheerful. + +8 + +The letters _a_, _e_, _i_, _o_, and _u_ are vowels.

“Star-Spangled Banner.” Military spectators are required by + regulation to stand at attention and give the military salute. + + When the National colors are passing on parade, or in review, + the spectator should, if walking, halt, and if sitting, arise, + and stand at attention and uncover. + + When the flag is flown at half staff as a sign of mourning + it should be hoisted to full staff at the conclusion of the + funeral. + + In placing the flag at half staff, it should first be hoisted + to the top of the staff and then lowered to position, and + before lowering from half staff it

This disappointment is undoubtedly due to:</p> + +<p>1. Defective material for study and poor methods of +teaching;</p> + +<p>2. Too much testing and too little teaching;</p> + +<p>3. Finding errors rather than preventing them;</p> + +<p>4. The use of a theoretical, rather than the practical, +vocabulary of children and adults.</p> + +<p>The teaching of spelling must be done from a spelling book +in the hands of the children, since the individual teacher +does not have the time to prepare lists of words which will +produce as good results as the lists given in a spelling book, +the selection and preparation of which are the result of +years of special observation and testing.</p> + +<p>A plan of teaching spelling to secure the best results should +consist of a thoughtful, systematic, and comprehensive presentation +of the words and spelling facts which every pupil +must learn. It must contain an adequate and simple +system of phonics for the primary grades, since a large percentage<span class="pagenum"><a id="Page_iv"></a>[iv]</span> +of the words in common use are purely phonetic +and present no spelling difficulties once a sane and practical +phonetic foundation is fixed. It must have a vocabulary +selected and graded with such care that it will give the +child the ability to spell correctly those words which he +needs to use in his written work, and that it will also develop +and broaden his vocabulary for his future needs. It should +contain suitable directions and hints to the teacher, sufficiently +removed from the pupil’s text so that he may not +be confused by them. It may, and in many grades should, +contain information and suggestions to the pupil that will +help him to master the many peculiarly non-phonetic words +which present their individual problems and must be individually +mastered. It should contain a very few of the +most important spelling rules simply stated. It should +contain a large variety of sentences for dictation, which +may wisely take the form of gems of thought. Such a plan, +well taught, constantly supplemented by the teacher with +such words as the peculiar difficulties of individual pupils +and classes may require, will produce a maximum of ability +to spell correctly.</p> + +<p>In the Aldine Speller the authors have presented a plan +of teaching which in actual results has proved singularly +effective. The vocabulary has been selected and graded +with unusual care to meet the actual needs of life and to +develop a spelling sense. In its preparation a careful comparison<span class="pagenum"><a id="Page_v"></a>[v]</span> +was made of the vocabularies of several of the most +popular spelling books of the day in respect to both gradation +and selection. Paralleling this, the various recent +tests and investigations, notably those of Ayres, Jones, and +Cook and O’Shea, have been checked. The resulting vocabulary +is thought to represent the real writing vocabulary of +the average child of the grade in which it is taught. Special +and repeated drills are given on the real trouble makers—the +one hundred and more words that comprise four-fifths +of the misspelled words of the schoolroom.</p> + +<p>In the primary grades use is made of exceptionally valuable +phonetic lists. Emphasis is placed upon this important +and very practical foundation for the development of a +spelling sense, and its mastery in the primary grades will do +much to train children to spell correctly. A few comparatively +uncommon words are used in these lists chiefly for +the value of the phonetic drill.</p> + +<p>As every error creates a tendency, and if repeated quickly +establishes a habit, it is important that the correct spelling +of words be taught before children have occasion to write +them. Every worth-while test and investigation shows the +most common and most useful words in our language to be +the words used early by children. It is likewise certain that +very many of the misspelled words are one-syllable words in +very common use. It would, therefore, seem essential that +the real teaching of spelling should be done as early as possible<span class="pagenum"><a id="Page_vi"></a>[vi]</span> +in the grades—somewhat earlier than has frequently +been the case—that correct habits, rather than incorrect +ones, may be formed.</p> + +<p>Obligation is expressed to Dr. Leonard P. Ayres of the +Russell Sage Foundation for kind permission to make use +of his list of “The Thousand Commonest Words.” These +and some four thousand other very common and important +words constitute the Aldine vocabulary.</p> + +<p>That the Aldine Speller may lead to some real teaching, +and decrease “lesson hearing,” is the hope of the authors.</p> + +<hr class="chap x-ebookmaker-drop"> + +<div class="chapter"> + +<p><span class="pagenum"><a id="Page_vii"></a>[vii]</span></p> + +<h2 class="nobreak" id="DIRECTIONS_TO_TEACHERS">DIRECTIONS TO TEACHERS</h2> + +</div> + +<h3><span class="smcap">Oral Spelling</span></h3> + +<p>Oral spelling should always precede written spelling in +the primary grades. Careful and distinct pronunciation +by the child should always precede oral spelling. Children +cannot be expected to spell correctly words that they cannot +pronounce. It is well to emphasize the form of a word of +more than one syllable by syllabication. It makes the +spelling more obvious, promotes clear enunciation, and +assists in creating a correct mental picture of the word. +The sight words in this book are so syllabicated when first +presented. A slight pause between the syllables is usually +sufficient in oral spelling. In writing the words they should +not be divided.</p> + +<h3><span class="smcap">Testing</span></h3> + +<p>The mere “hearing” of spelling lessons is happily a thing +of the past in most schools. However, teachers cannot +be too strongly impressed with the worthlessness of such +exercises. The primary object is to instruct, not to examine—to +teach to spell correctly, not to find out how many<span class="pagenum"><a id="Page_viii"></a>[viii]</span> +words may be spelled incorrectly. Review lessons should +be given frequently, and these are sufficient for test purposes. +All other lessons should be thoroughly taught with instruction +the aim and object of the lesson.</p> + +<h3><span class="smcap">Interest</span></h3> + +<p>It has been well said that “interest is nine-tenths of +education.” This is true in teaching spelling. Any means +which will arouse interest in mastering words is likely to be +effective. So far as our forefathers succeeded in securing +results in this subject they did so by interest in the old-fashioned +“spelling-bee.” Spelling matches of various sorts +are desirable for creating interest. The review lists and +special lists will be found admirable for this purpose. It +should be remembered, however, that this is testing what is +already learned and is not teaching something new.</p> + +<h3><span class="smcap">Pupils’ Lists</span></h3> + +<p>Each pupil has his own difficulties in spelling. Teach +him to make private lists of the words which he finds especially +hard to spell and have him use extra effort to conquer +these trouble-makers. These may be listed in the back +of his textbook or in his individual note book. Occasional +lessons may be devoted entirely to this kind of exercise and +they should be individual and painstaking. Such words +should be watched for in the other written work and misspelling<span class="pagenum"><a id="Page_ix"></a>[ix]</span> +prevented rather than corrected. Besides making +the misspelled words the basis of a lesson they may well be +correctly and carefully written on the board with the difficulty +shown in colored crayon. If possible leave them in +sight for several days.</p> + +<h3><span class="smcap">Homophones</span></h3> + +<p>Words spelled differently but pronounced alike should be +kept apart until the spelling of each has become fixed and the +ability to use correctly in sentences reasonably sure. Then +only may they safely be brought together for comparison. +When this is done much care must be used that no confusion +may exist in the child’s mind as to the proper use of each.</p> + +<h3><span class="smcap">Order of Presentation</span></h3> + +<p>All children do not learn spelling equally well in the same +way. Some are sense organ learners while others are largely +motor organ learners. Most children are both. In all +cases the order of seeing words, hearing them pronounced, +pronouncing them, spelling them aloud, and then writing +them, will be found to be most effective. Appeal is thus +made successively to the eye, the ear, the memory, and the +hand.</p> + +<h3><span class="smcap">Enunciation</span></h3> + +<p>Poor enunciation is a common source of incorrect spelling. +Occasionally test your pupils on sounding words. See +to it that they learn to give the right value to the vowel<span class="pagenum"><a id="Page_x"></a>[x]</span> +sounds and do not omit any that should be sounded. Do +not permit <i>in</i> for <i>ing</i>, final <i>ed</i> to be sounded like <i>t</i>, or +“body” to be sounded “buddy.” Remember that “A +word correctly pronounced is half spelled.”</p> + +<h3><span class="smcap">Proper Names</span></h3> + +<p>No place has been given in this book to proper names, +since the needs of different classrooms vary so widely. +They must be thoroughly taught, however, and it is the +teacher’s duty to teach such proper names as her pupils +need to use. Strongly emphasize the fact that these proper +names always begin with a capital letter.</p> + +<h3><span class="smcap">Using the Stories</span></h3> + +<p>Read the stories, “<a href="#Scouts">The Two Scouts</a>” and “<a href="#Boys">The Two +Boys</a>” with the pupils. See that they understand the meaning +and the object of telling these stories. Keep them before +the pupils by constant application to their own efforts. +If you wish, you may keep records of the work of the scouts, +giving the successful ones decorations—stars or crosses +on the blackboard, or on especially prepared charts.</p> + +<h3><span class="smcap">Careful Teaching</span></h3> + +<p>In teaching every lesson, do your part by pronouncing +every word clearly and correctly; by requiring the children +to do the same, paying especial care to final <i>d</i>, <i>t</i>, and <i>ing</i>;<span class="pagenum"><a id="Page_xi"></a>[xi]</span> +by training the child really to see the word, calling attention +to silent letters, unusual combinations, and applying +the rules that are given in their books.</p> + +<h3><span class="smcap">Use and Meaning</span></h3> + +<p>Remember, it is not enough that children pronounce +and spell words correctly. They should know the meaning +and how to use each word. To help them to make the +words in their book part of their vocabulary, certain devices +are used.</p> + +<p>1. Many of the words are grouped in their natural connection—school +words, letter words, business and trade +words, journey words, etc. A few suggestions showing how +these group words may be used are given in the book. +Oral work should always precede the written work. See +<a href="#lesson89">Lesson 89, Sixth Year</a>, for illustration. See that the children’s +sentences are well expressed before allowing any +writing. Perhaps it will not be necessary to write at all. +It <i>is</i> necessary that every child should know how to use +and spell the words correctly.</p> + +<p>2. When a word is taught, one or more of its common +derivatives are given,—a saving in study of the spelling +lesson, and an added clearness to meaning. For illustrations +see <a href="#lesson39">Lessons 39 and 42</a>.</p> + +<p>3. Well-selected quotations from the best sources are +given, showing the words used correctly. Many of these<span class="pagenum"><a id="Page_xii"></a>[xii]</span> +quotations should be memorized; some should be dictated; +some are to be reproduced; some are to be copied, substituting +other words in place of underlined words; all are to +be read intelligently, that the pupils may learn the true +meaning of the words by meeting them in their right context.</p> + +<h3><span class="smcap">Spelling Demons</span></h3> + +<p>On pages <a href="#Page_11">11</a> and <a href="#Page_12">12</a> is a remarkable list of words frequently +misspelled. They are given here by permission of +the compiler, Dr. W. F. Jones of the University of South +Dakota. He has happily named them the “One Hundred +Spelling Demons of the English Language.” As the result +of a most exhaustive and careful investigation he finds +them to be not only the most commonly misspelled words, +but frequently and persistently to be misspelled in all grades.</p> + +<p>These words have been taught and frequently reviewed. +Call the children’s attention over and over again to the +difficulties in them. Use some of them daily. Hold the +children to the correct spelling of them in all written work. +Make opportunities to use them. Keep a record in plain +sight, showing the children’s progress in conquering them. +Make the mastery of these words a matter personal to yourself, +even to the extent of considering your teaching a failure +if every child in the fifth year does not form the habit of +correctly spelling this list. Call attention to these pages +at the beginning of the year, and arouse the children’s<span class="pagenum"><a id="Page_xiii"></a>[xiii]</span> +interest and ambition to master the words as early as +possible.</p> + +<p>On page <a href="#Page_49">49</a> is given another list of lesser “demons.” +The sixth-grade teacher should in like manner hold herself +responsible for this list. Keep on urging and testing until +each child has mastered his particular “word demons.”</p> + +<h3><span class="smcap">Review Lists</span></h3> + +<p>On pages <a href="#Page_27">27-28</a> and <a href="#Page_65">65-66</a> are lists of words for review. +These are selected from “The One Thousand Commonest +Words” as found by Dr. Ayres, and are here used by permission. +Without special study, at least seventy-nine per +cent of those given on pages <a href="#Page_27">27-28</a> were spelled correctly by +the fifth-grade children in eighty-four cities in the United +States, and at least seventy-nine per cent of those given on +pages 65-66 were spelled correctly by the sixth-grade children +in the same schools. Careful teaching should give a +much higher percentage.</p> + +<h3><span class="smcap">The Vocabulary</span></h3> + +<p>The vocabulary, alphabetically arranged for each year, +will be found on pages <a href="#Page_29">29</a> and <a href="#Page_67">67</a>. Encourage the children +to use this vocabulary to check up the words that they are +positive they can spell correctly, and for reference in finding +any word they may wish to use in their written work.<span class="pagenum"><a id="Page_xiv"></a>[xiv]</span> +These lists of words may also be used for oral spelling +matches or written reviews.</p> + +<h3><span class="smcap">Summary</span></h3> + +<p>To sum up: Arouse a spelling interest; develop a spelling +sense; teach the children how to study intelligently; +review constantly; keep definite records of progress; find +each child’s “word demons” and master them; do thoughtful +teaching.</p> + +<hr class="chap x-ebookmaker-drop"> + +<div class="chapter"> + +<p><span class="pagenum"><a id="Page_xv"></a>[xv]</span></p> + +<h2 class="nobreak" id="To_the_Girls_and_Boys"><span class="smcap">To the Girls and Boys</span>:</h2> + +</div> + +<h3 id="Scouts"><span class="smcap">The Two Scouts</span></h3> + +<p>Once upon a time the general of an army found himself +in a serious position. He was shut up in a fortified town +and his food supply was very low. In order to find out +something of the position, strength, and plans of the enemy, +he sent two young soldiers out as scouts.</p> + +<p>After many hardships the scouts came within sight of +the enemy’s lines. While they were looking down on the +hostile camp from the top of a high tree, two officers came +riding toward them. When they reached the tree in which +the frightened scouts were hidden, the officers stopped to +rest their horses in the shade. Never dreaming that their +conversation could be overheard, they discussed their plans +freely and rode away. As soon as it was safe, the two +scouts came to the ground.</p> + +<p>“What a lucky escape!” said one. “We might both +have been captured. This teaches us a lesson. We will +separate. Then if one is captured, the other can carry our +information to the general.”</p> + +<p>So they separated, and in due time one of the scouts +came into the general’s presence.</p> + +<p><span class="pagenum"><a id="Page_xvi"></a>[xvi]</span></p> + +<p>“Well,” said the general, “how many men have the +enemy?”</p> + +<p>“Ever and ever so many,” answered the scout.</p> + +<p>“Cavalry? Artillery? What?” asked the general sharply.</p> + +<p>“Both,” replied the scout.</p> + +<p>“Where are they?” asked the general.</p> + +<p>“On the other side of the wood,” said the scout.</p> + +<p>“But can’t you give me a better idea of their number +and position?” cried the impatient officer.</p> + +<p>“I only know that there are ever and ever so many of +them, and that they are scattered all over the countryside,” +was the answer.</p> + +<p>“Well, did you learn anything of their plans?” asked +the almost discouraged general.</p> + +<p>“Yes,” answered the scout eagerly. “I heard two officers +talking. They are going to besiege us, attack Clifton, and +wait for reënforcements.”</p> + +<p>“But what are they going to do first?” asked the anxious +general.</p> + +<p>“I don’t remember,” was the answer.</p> + +<p>“I know no more than I did before you started! To +think of the chance you have lost!” exclaimed the officer.</p> + +<p>Just then the second scout entered.</p> + +<p>“What have you to report?” asked the general.</p> + +<p>The young man drew a piece of paper toward him and +by a rough sketch and a few words of explanation, showed<span class="pagenum"><a id="Page_xvii"></a>[xvii]</span> +the general the position and number of the enemy, so that +he saw at a glance their strength and weakness. Then he +added: “The officers that discussed their plans under our +tree say that they will wait for reënforcements. Then part +of their army will besiege us closely, keeping us busy, while +the main army will capture Clifton.”</p> + +<p>“You have saved our army!” cried the delighted general. +“From to-day you are ranked as captain. We will break +through their lines before their reënforcements come up, +and march to the relief of Clifton!”</p> + +<p>Then turning to the first scout, he said: “You saw and +heard exactly the same things as this young man, but instead +of bringing me news worth while, you brought only +a confused report. Do you know why you failed and he +succeeded?”</p> + +<p>“Yes,” was the answer, “he’s a born scout. I’m not.”</p> + +<p>“Nonsense!” replied the general. “He has trained +himself to <i>see exactly</i>, to <i>hear exactly</i>, and to <i>repeat exactly</i>. +That’s all that is needed to make a born scout.”</p> + +<h3 id="Boys"><span class="smcap">The Two Boys</span></h3> + +<p>Two boys were set to study the same spelling lesson. +When it was time to write the lesson, one boy knew that a +certain word “had an <i>i</i> and an <i>e</i> in it,” but he could not +tell which came first, so he guessed and failed. When the +teacher pronounced another word, he wasn’t just sure<span class="pagenum"><a id="Page_xviii"></a>[xviii]</span> +what she did say, so again he guessed and again he failed. +When called upon to read the words in the lesson, he left +off final letters and slurred other letters, so that he did not +even pronounce the words correctly, and as a perfectly +pronounced word is half spelled, he failed once more. The +other boy had a perfect paper.</p> + +<p>The teacher said: “You boys had the same list of words +to study, and the same time in which to master them. +You had the same chance to hear them pronounced correctly +and to pronounce them yourselves. Yet John has a +perfect paper, and Tom has a failure. Do you know why?”</p> + +<p>“John is a natural-born speller,” answered Tom. “I +am not.”</p> + +<p>“Nonsense!” replied the teacher. “John has trained +himself to <i>see exactly</i>, to make a good mind picture of the +word, just as the successful scout did of the enemy’s lines, +and so with his pencil he can reproduce it exactly. He, +like the same scout, has trained his ear to <i>hear exactly</i>, and +his mind to <i>reproduce exactly</i>. That’s all that is needed to +make a born speller.”</p> + +<p>Which scout did Tom most resemble?
