Book Description
Excerpt from A Guide to the Teaching of Spelling The primary purpose of this book is to help teachers to improve the quality of their teaching of spelling. While it has been written with the problems of the inexperienced teacher foremost in mind, it is believed that it may be of substantial value to experienced teachers as well. Simplicity of expression and natural sequence in arrangement are very important to busy, practical teachers. An earnest effort has been made throughout the book to keep these factors in mind.

Book Description
Excerpt from The Teaching of Spelling The purpose of this book is to bring together from all sources the more reliable and pertinent facts in the teaching of spelling, and to present them in their relation to the practical problems which the teacher has to face every day in the classroom. The book is an outgrowth of a thesis on "The Experimental Studies of Spelling," which embodied an exhaustive study of some ninety investigations. In the preparation of the book, this material was supplemented by such information as could be gathered from the general literature of the subject, including books and articles on methods of teaching and on the psychology of learning, and the better spelling texts of the day. A third source of material was the author's three years' experience as an elementary school principal and supervisor in testing, evaluating, and applying in actual classroom work the conclusions of the preceding studies. The author gratefully acknowledges his indebtedness to the many investigators and teachers whose fruitful labors have made this book possible.

Book Description
Excerpt from Teacher's Manual of Spelling The complaint is very common today that the present age is one of poor spellers. Business men particularly are prone to lament the fact that our present system of education does not turn out children as skilled in the intricacies of English spelling as were those of the good old days. These same business men further stipulate that the particular point of defect in our present system is lack of thoroughness and drill. The truth is that many children spell as well as children have ever spelled and acquire their mastery of words in a much shorter time and with much less effort than would have been possible under the old formal system of education. Actual tests of spelling ability show that the average skill in large groups is about the same today as that of similar groups twenty-five years ago. It is true that every class in almost every school has a certain percentage of disgracefully poor spellers, and that these children drag through the seventh and eighth grades and often through high school without ever really learning to spell. As a matter of fact there has never been a time in our educational history when this has not been more or less true. If our modern psychology has the value we claim for it, it should have given us methods by which all children of normal mentality could be taught to spell. The reasons why we still have so many spelling failures seem to be: First, that certain psychological fallacies have crept into our theory of teaching spelling, and, second, that the erroneous supposition has been made that modern methods eliminate the need for drill. This book is not theoretical; it is the result of five years experimental work with the problem. Over four hundred very poor spellers have been carefully examined and finally taught to spell.

Excerpt from Reading Speller: A New Method of Teaching Spelling Fourth - The laws of mental development and human happiness demand that children should be early taught the word. Signs. Of objects, of their parts, and of their characteristics. It certainly inverts the natural order of develop ment to teach children to spell words that have no objective reality, and that require some experience and culture to be understood. It is hoped that these lessons will be found as valuable for what they suggest, as for what they present.

Book Description
Excerpt from The Teaching of Spelling: A Critical Study of Recent Tendencies in Method The whole effort of the monograph is to study a live Situation, for institutional customs have an active molding power. Lay a wide reform upon the school, and the result will always be somewhat disappointing to the reformer. The tradition upon which reform has been laid is not static; it has force and modifies every new idea. There are lines of most and least resistance in every situation, and these must be taken into account in administering any progressive policy. For this reason, the historical method is used throughout. Nothing illuminates the present so much as an understanding of immediately pre ceding situations. Any basic interpretation of to-day's practices is dependent upon a compre hension of yesterday's. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
