Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book takes a practical approach to improving spelling skills, a critical concern in the early 20th century when the author was writing. Recognizing that traditional methods like spelling bees were waning in popularity, the author offers a fresh perspective. The book presents a series of "eye training" and "ear training" exercises designed to teach students to recognize the components of words, thus helping them to spell words they've only seen or heard, not studied. The author emphasizes the importance of seeing the letters in a word clearly and hearing its individual sounds and syllables. The book also includes lists of words for study, dictation exercises for practice, and review sections to solidify learning. These are coupled with insightful discussions on the significance of capital letters, punctuation marks, and proper paragraphing, which were all essential components of written language instruction at that time. The author's focus on developing the mental faculties needed for spelling reflects the pedagogical ideals of the period, which emphasized the cultivation of intellect and character through education. This book, with its detailed, structured approach to learning, offers a fascinating glimpse into the past, while providing a timeless guide to mastering the art of spelling.
