DOWNLOAD EBOOK →Excerpt from The New American Primary Speller Fob years past teachers have been demanding a spelling book suitable 'for children. This little work has been prepared by one who, in com mon with his fellow-teachers, has pitied children compelled to memorize long lists of words, many of which they rarely use in after life, and to which they can seldom attach any meaning. We claim for this book a plan simple and methodical. Lessons are first given which illustrate the vowel sounds. Then, beginning at home, a list of words is given suggestive of a detailed description of well-known objects. From home and its surroundings the child is led by easy steps to other familiar places of interest. As his range of vision is extended his vocabulary increases, and thus his language is built up. He needs to know how to spell these words, and he should be taught to weave them into sentences as well as to spell them, for the words are not his until he can so use them.
