,,the ,,aldine ,,speller ,,part ,,three ,,for ,,grades ,,five ,,and ,,six ,,by ,,catherine ,t4 ,,bryce ,,assistant ,,superintendent ,,of ,,schools ,,minneapolis1 ,,minn4 ,,and ,,frank ,j4 ,,sherman ,,formerly ,,superintendent ,,of ,,schools ,,monson1 ,,mass4 ,illustration ,,new ,,york ,,newson ,,company ,,copyright1 #aiaf1 ,,by ,,newson ,,company4 ,all rights reserved4 ,,preface ,to teachers and the public alike1 probably no subject taught in the public schools has been more disappointing than spelling4 ,this disappointment is undoubtedly due to3 #a4 ,defective material for study and poor methods of teaching2 #b4 ,too much testing and too little teaching2 #c4 ,finding errors rather than preventing them2 #d4 ,the use of a theoretical1 rather than the practical1 vocabulary of children and adults4 ,the teaching of spelling must be done from a spelling book in the hands of the children1 since the individual teacher does not have the time to prepare lists of words which will produce as good results as the lists given in a spelling book1 the selection and preparation of which are the result of years of special observation and testing4 ,a plan of teaching spelling to secure the best results should consist of a thoughtful1 systematic1 and comprehensive presentation of the words and spelling facts which every pupil must learn4 ,it must contain an adequate and simple system of phonics for the primary grades1 since a large percentage of the words in common use are purely phonetic and present no spelling difficulties once a sane and practical phonetic foundation is fixed4 ,it must have a vocabulary selected and graded with such care that it will give the child the ability to spell correctly those words which he needs to use in his written work1 and that it will also develop and broaden his vocabulary for his future needs4 ,it should contain suitable directions and hints to the teacher1 sufficiently removed from the pupil's text so that he may not be confused by them4 ,it may1 and in many grades should1 contain information and suggestions to the pupil that will help him to master the many peculiarly non-phonetic words which present their individual problems and must be individually mastered4 ,it should contain a very few of the most important spelling rules simply stated4 ,it should contain a large variety of sentences for dictation1 which may wisely take the form of gems of thought4 ,such a plan1 well taught1 constantly supplemented by the teacher with such words as the peculiar difficulties of individual pupils and classes may require1 will produce a maximum of ability to spell correctly4 ,in the ,aldine ,speller the authors have presented a plan of teaching which in actual results has proved singularly effective4 ,the vocabulary has been selected and graded with unusual care to meet the actual needs of life and to develop a spelling sense4 ,in its preparation a careful comparison was made of the vocabularies of several of the most popular spelling books of the day in respect to both gradation and selection4 ,paralleling this1 the various recent tests and investigations1 notably those of ,ayres1 ,jones1 and ,cook and ,o',shea1 have been checked4 ,the resulting vocabulary is thought to represent the real writing vocabulary of the average child of the grade in which it is taught4 ,special and repeated drills are given on the real trouble makers--the one hundred and more words that comprise four-fifths of the misspelled words of the schoolroom4 ,in the primary grades use is made of exceptionally valuable phonetic lists4 ,emphasis is placed upon this important and very practical foundation for the development of a spelling sense1 and its mastery in the primary grades will do much to train children to spell correctly4 ,a few comparatively uncommon words are used in these lists chiefly for the value of the phonetic drill4 ,as every error creates a tendency1 and if repeated quickly establishes a habit1 it is important that the correct spelling of words be taught before children have occasion to write them4 ,every worth-while test and investigation shows the most common and most useful words in our language to be the words used early by children4 ,it is likewise certain that very many of the misspelled words are one-syllable words in very common use4 ,it would1 therefore1 seem essential that the real teaching of spelling should be done as early as possible in the grades--somewhat earlier than has frequently been the case--that correct habits1 rather than incorrect ones1 may be formed4 ,obligation is expressed to ,dr4 ,leonard ,p4 ,ayres of the ,russell ,sage ,foundation for kind permission to make use of his list of 8,the ,thousand ,commonest ,words40 ,these and some four thousand other very common and important words constitute the ,aldine vocabulary4 ,that the ,aldine ,speller may lead to some real teaching1 and decrease 8lesson hearing10 is the hope of the authors4 ,,directions ,,to ,,teachers ,,oral ,,spelling ,oral spelling should always precede written spelling in the primary grades4 ,careful and distinct pronunciation by the child should always precede oral spelling4 ,children cannot be expected to spell correctly words that they cannot pronounce4 ,it is well to emphasize the form of a word of more than one syllable by syllabication4 ,it makes the spelling more obvious1 promotes clear enunciation1 and assists in creating a correct mental picture of the word4 ,the sight words in this book are so syllabicated when first presented4 ,a slight pause between the syllables is usually sufficient in oral spelling4 ,in writing the words they should not be divided4 ,,testing ,the mere 8hearing0 of spelling lessons is happily a thing of the past in most schools4 ,however1 teachers cannot be too strongly impressed with the worthlessness of such exercises4 ,the primary object is to instruct1 not to examine--to teach to spell correctly1 not to find out how many words may be spelled incorrectly4 ,review lessons should be given frequently1 and these are sufficient for test purposes4 ,all other lessons should be thoroughly taught with instruction the aim and object of the lesson4 ,,interest ,it has been well said that 8interest is nine-tenths of education40 ,this is true in teaching spelling4 ,any means which will arouse interest in mastering words is likely to be effective4 ,so far as our forefathers succeeded in securing results in this subject they did so by interest in the old-fashioned 8spelling-bee40 ,spelling matches of various sorts are desirable for creating interest4 ,the review lists and special lists will be found admirable for this purpose4 ,it should be remembered1 however1 that this is testing what is already learned and is not teaching something new4 ,,pupils' ,,lists ,each pupil has his own difficulties in spelling4 ,teach him to make private lists of the words which he finds especially hard to spell and have him use extra effort to conquer these trouble-makers4 ,these may be listed in the back of his textbook or in his individual note book4 ,occasional lessons may be devoted entirely to this kind of exercise and they should be individual and painstaking4 ,such words should be watched for in the other written work and misspelling prevented rather than corrected4 ,besides making the misspelled words the basis of a lesson they may well be correctly and carefully written on the board with the difficulty shown in colored crayon4 ,if possible leave them in sight for several days4 ,,homophones ,words spelled differently but pronounced alike should be kept apart until the spelling of each has become fixed and the ability to use correctly in sentences reasonably sure4 ,then only may they safely be brought together for comparison4 ,when this is done much care must be used that no confusion may exist in the child's mind as to the proper use of each4 ,,order ,,of ,,presentation ,all children do not learn spelling equally well in the same way4 ,some are sense organ learners while others are largely motor organ learners4 ,most children are both4 ,in all cases the order of seeing words1 hearing them pronounced1 pronouncing them1 spelling them aloud1 and then writing them1 will be found to be most effective4 ,appeal is thus made successively to the eye1 the ear1 the memory1 and the hand4 ,,enunciation ,poor enunciation is a common source of incorrect spelling4 ,occasionally test your pupils on sounding words4 ,see to it that they learn to give the right value to the vowel sounds and do not omit any that should be sounded4 ,do not permit in for ing1 final ed to be sounded like t1 or 8body0 to be sounded 8buddy40 ,remember that 8,a word correctly pronounced is half spelled40 ,,proper ,,names ,no place has been given in this book to proper names1 since the needs of different classrooms vary so widely4 ,they must be thoroughly taught1 however1 and it is the teacher's duty to teach such proper names as her pupils need to use4 ,strongly emphasize the fact that these proper names always begin with a capital letter4 ,,using ,,the ,,stories ,read the stories1 8,the ,two ,scouts0 and 8,the ,two ,boys0 with the pupils4 ,see that they understand the meaning and the object of telling these stories4 ,keep them before the pupils by constant application to their own efforts4 ,if you wish1 you may keep records of the work of the scouts1 giving the successful ones decorations--stars or crosses on the blackboard1 or on especially prepared charts4 ,,careful ,,teaching ,in teaching every lesson1 do your part by pronouncing every word clearly and correctly2 by requiring the children to do the same1 paying especial care to final d1 t1 and ing2 by training the child really to see the word1 calling attention to silent letters1 unusual combinations1 and applying the rules that are given in their books4 ,,use ,,and ,,meaning ,remember1 it is not enough that children pronounce and spell words correctly4 ,they should know the meaning and how to use each word4 ,to help them to make the words in their book part of their vocabulary1 certain devices are used4 #a4 ,many of the words are grouped in their natural connection--school words1 letter words1 business and trade words1 journey words1 etc4 ,a few suggestions showing how these group words may be used are given in the book4 ,oral work should always precede the written work4 ,see ,lesson #hi1 ,sixth ,year1 for illustration4 ,see that the children's sentences are well expressed before allowing any writing4 ,perhaps it will not be necessary to write at all4 ,it is necessary that every child should know how to use and spell the words correctly4 #b4 ,when a word is taught1 one or more of its common derivatives are given1--a saving in study of the spelling lesson1 and an added clearness to meaning4 ,for illustrations see ,lessons #ci and #db4 #c4 ,well-selected quotations from the best sources are given1 showing the words used correctly4 ,many of these quotations should be memorized2 some should be dictated2 some are to be reproduced2 some are to be copied1 substituting other words in place of underlined words2 all are to be read intelligently1 that the pupils may learn the true meaning of the words by meeting them in their right context4 ,,spelling ,,demons ,on pages #aa and #ab is a remarkable list of words frequently misspelled4 ,they are given here by permission of the compiler1 ,dr4 ,w4 ,f4 ,jones of the ,university of ,south ,dakota4 ,he has happily named them the 8,one ,hundred ,spelling ,demons of the ,english ,language40 ,as the result of a most exhaustive and careful investigation he finds them to be not only the most commonly misspelled words1 but frequently and persistently to be misspelled in all grades4 ,these words have been taught and frequently reviewed4 ,call the children's attention over and over again to the difficulties in them4 ,use some of them daily4 ,hold the children to the correct spelling of them in all written work4 ,make opportunities to use them4 ,keep a record in plain sight1 showing the children's progress in conquering them4 ,make the mastery of these words a matter personal to yourself1 even to the extent of considering your teaching a failure if every child in the fifth year does not form the habit of correctly spelling this list4 ,call attention to these pages at the beginning of the year1 and arouse the children's interest and ambition to master the words as early as possible4 ,on page #di is given another list of lesser 8demons40 ,the sixth-grade teacher should in like manner hold herself responsible for this list4 ,keep on urging and testing until each child has mastered his particular 8word demons40 ,,review ,,lists ,on pages #bg-bh and #fe-ff are lists of words for review4 ,these are selected from 8,the ,one ,thousand ,commonest ,words0 as found by ,dr4 ,ayres1 and are here used by permission4 ,without special study1 at least seventy-nine per cent of those given on pages #bg-bh were spelled correctly by the fifth-grade children in eighty-four cities in the ,united ,states1 and at least seventy-nine per cent of those given on pages #fe-ff were spelled correctly by the sixth-grade children in the same schools4 ,careful teaching should give a much higher percentage4 ,,the ,,vocabulary ,the vocabulary1 alphabetically arranged for each year1 will be found on pages #bi and #fg4 ,encourage the children to use this vocabulary to check up the words that they are positive they can spell correctly1 and for reference in finding any word they may wish to use in their written work4 ,these lists of words may also be used for oral spelling matches or written reviews4 ,,summary ,to sum up3 ,arouse a spelling interest2 develop a spelling sense2 teach the children how to study intelligently2 review constantly2 keep definite records of progress2 find each child's 8word demons0 and master them2 do thoughtful teaching4 ,,to ,,the ,,girls ,,and ,,boys3 ,,the ,,two ,,scouts ,once upon a time the general of an army found himself in a serious position4 ,he was shut up in a fortified town and his food supply was very low4 ,in order to find out something of the position1 strength1 and plans of the enemy1 he sent two young soldiers out as scouts4 ,after many hardships the scouts came within sight of the enemy's lines4 ,while they were looking down on the hostile camp from the top of a high tree1 two officers came riding toward them4 ,when they reached the tree in which the frightened scouts were hidden1 the officers stopped to rest their horses in the shade4 ,never dreaming that their conversation could be overheard1 they discussed their plans freely and rode away4 ,as soon as it was safe1 the two scouts came to the ground4 8,what a lucky escape60 said one4 8,we might both have been captured4 ,this teaches us a lesson4 ,we will separate4 ,then if one is captured1 the other can carry our information to the general40 ,so they separated1 and in due time one of the scouts came into the general's presence4 8,well10 said the general1 8how many men have the enemy80 8,ever and ever so many10 answered the scout4 8,cavalry8 ,artillery8 ,what80 asked the general sharply4 8,both10 replied the scout4 8,where are they80 asked the general4 8,on the other side of the wood10 said the scout4 8,but can't you give me a better idea of their number and position80 cried the impatient officer4 8,i only know that there are ever and ever so many of them1 and that they are scattered all over the countryside10 was the answer4 8,well1 did you learn anything of their plans80 asked the almost discouraged general4 8,yes10 answered the scout eagerly4 8,i heard two officers talking4 ,they are going to besiege us1 attack ,clifton1 and wait for renforcements40 8,but what are they going to do first80 asked the anxious general4 8,i don't remember10 was the answer4 8,i know no more than ,i did before you started6 ,to think of the chance you have lost60 exclaimed the officer4 ,just then the second scout entered4 8,what have you to report80 asked the general4 ,the young man drew a piece of paper toward him and by a rough sketch and a few words of explanation1 showed the general the position and number of the enemy1 so that he saw at a glance their strength and weakness4 ,then he added3 8,the officers that discussed their plans under our tree say that they will wait for renforcements4 ,then part of their army will besiege us closely1 keeping us busy1 while the main army will capture ,clifton40 8,you have saved our army60 cried the delighted general4 8,from to-day you are ranked as captain4 ,we will break through their lines before their renforcements come up1 and march to the relief of ,clifton60 ,then turning to the first scout1 he said3 8,you saw and heard exactly the same things as this young man1 but instead of bringing me news worth while1 you brought only a confused report4 ,do you know why you failed and he succeeded80 8,yes10 was the answer1 8he's a born scout4 ,i'm not40 8,nonsense60 replied the general4 8,he has trained himself to see exactly1 to hear exactly1 and to repeat exactly4 ,that's all that is needed to make a born scout40 ,,the ,,two ,,boys ,two boys were set to study the same spelling lesson4 ,when it was time to write the lesson1 one boy knew that a certain word 8had an i and an e in it10 but he could not tell which came first1 so he guessed and failed4 ,when the teacher pronounced another word1 he wasn't just sure what she did say1 so again he guessed and again he failed4 ,when called upon to read the words in the lesson1 he left off final letters and slurred other letters1 so that he did not even pronounce the words correctly1 and as a perfectly pronounced word is half spelled1 he failed once more4 ,the other boy had a perfect paper4 ,the teacher said3 8,you boys had the same list of words to study1 and the same time in which to master them4 ,you had the same chance to hear them pronounced correctly and to pronounce them yourselves4 ,yet ,john has a perfect paper1 and ,tom has a failure4 ,do you know why80 8,john is a natural-born speller10 answered ,tom4 8,i am not40 8,nonsense60 replied the teacher4 8,john has trained himself to see exactly1 to make a good mind picture of the word1 just as the successful scout did of the enemy's lines1 and so with his pencil he can reproduce it exactly4 ,he1 like the same scout1 has trained his ear to hear exactly1 and his mind to reproduce exactly4 ,that's all that is needed to make a born speller40 ,which scout did ,tom most resemble8 ,which would you rather be like8 ,are you a 8natural-born speller10 that is1 do you ,see exactly1 ,hear exactly1 ,pronounce exactly8 ,,the ,,aldine ,,speller ,,part ,,three ,,fifth ,,year ,illustration3 ,a place for everything everything in its place ,illustration #a con quer con quer or
