Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Graded Lessons in Spelling
Amount and Nature of Subject M (met - This speller pro vides work for seven grades. There are one hundred and sixty lessons for each grade, the number of words per lesson increasing from four in the second year grade to twelve and sixteen in the eighth year grade. Not counting the words re peated for purposes of review, this speller contains about eight thousand words, the number per grade increasing from five hundred and sixty in the second year grade to eighteen hun dred in the eighth year grade. In the second, third, fourth and fifth year grades each word is used in a sentence. This is done for the purpose of illustrating the use and meaning of the word, giving the teacher material for dictation, and, incidentally, giv ing the pupil valuable information, as the sentences, para graphs and stanzas used for illustrations were selected or pre pared with regard to interest, information and language, many of the selections being classic. In the sixth, seventh and eighth year grades fewer of the words are used in sentences, it being deemed unnecessary to provide so much illustrative material for these Older pupils. Word building is introduced into the fifth, sixth, seventh and eighth year grades, there be ing ten lessons on prefixes and suffixes in the fifth year grade, and twenty on roots in each of the three more advanced grades. This work is placed at regular intervals throughout, and it is deemed an ample amount of word analysis for the grammar grades.
