Sinopsis

Excerpt from The National Pronouncing Speller: Embracing a Strictly Graded Classification of the Primitive, and the More Important Derivative Words of the English Language, for Oral Spelling; Numerous Exercises for Writing From Dictation; The Principles of Orthoepy and Orthography; Rules for Spelling

Great pains have been taken throughout the work so to prepare the Dictation Exercises as to familiarize the pupil with the best forms of constructing sentences; to teach the meaning and use of the important words; and to illustrate the rules of spelling, the use of capital letters, punctuation, abbreviations, 850. These exer cises may be used in various ways. The teacher may read the sen tences slowly and distinctly, while the pupils write all the words, or the more diflieult ones only. When slates are used, they may be expeditiously examined by requiring pupils to exchange, so that each one shall become the inspector of his neighbor's work, while the teacher spells the several words. All mistakes should be corrected by the pupil who made them.

It will be seen, from the explanation of our plan, that this book is adapted to the wants of all classes of pupils, without regard to the mode of instruction. Teachers may resort to oral spelling only; to spelling both by oral and dictation exercises, which is preferable; or, in advanced classes, dictation exercises only may he used. Pupils, however, should always be required to study the lists of words, and to pronounce them in the class, before attempt ing to spell, or to read and write the dictation exercises. This will also be found a valuable work, if used only to teach orthoepy. In that case pupils should be required to study the lists of words, and to pronounce them in the class; after which, the reading of the dictation exercises will serve as a test and confirmation of their pronunciation.
