Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from An Experimental Investigation of Eye Movements in Learning to Spell Words
The visual presentation of words in the teaching of spelling has long been a matter of interest to educators. Even so far back as the time of P'estalozzi men were arguing the respective merits of the seeing method and the hearing method One of the earliest investigators to put the matter to the test was Lay.1 In 1895 he studied a number of German school children and found that reading words from the board was from two to three times as effective for learning as listening to the dictation of the words. Abbott,2 Carey,3 Kratz,4 and Whitehead5 have also studied the relative worth of various methods of learning to spell.
