The Spelling-Book: Consisting of Words in Columns and Sentences for Oral and Written Exercises; Together With Prefixes, Affixes, and Impo (Paperback Or Softback) - Paperback

Excerpt from The Spelling-Book: Consisting of Words in Columns and Sentences for Oral and Written Exercises; Together With Prefixes, Affixes, and Important Roots From the Greek and Latin Languages

Easy words, illustrating the simple sounds of vowels and consonants; words containing one or more silent conso nants; words pronounced alike, but difl'ering in orthography and signification, have been arranged into distinct classes. But the great and distinguishing feature of the work is the arrangement of Exercises for Writing, in connection with the several classes. It has often been urged, and with good reason, against the spelling-books in common use, that chil dren are required to learn to spell words, of the meaning and use of which they have no idea. These Exercises for Writing provide a remedy for this defect. Most of the words in the columns occur in the sentences, and the learner is thus shown their meaning and application.
