Description
Excerpt from The Descriptive For Graded and Ungraded Schools The compiler of the Descriptive Speller believes in spelling and in a spelling book. He believes in Spelling, not only for purposes of composition and correspondence, but because it gives power over words and power over a printed page. He believes in a spelling book because it relieves the teacher from the drudgery of writing vocabularies on the board, because it relieves pupils from the trying task of reading distant words, and because printed words. Are more natural to the eye. The page of a speller makes a lasting impression. Written spelling for accuracy, oral spelling for pleasure and facility. Where a. Vocabulary should be written once it should be spelled orally, and rapidly, and confidently a dozen times. Too much written spelling causes weariness and distaste. Brief, lively oral exercises are a pleasure they waken up faculty and give a sense of strength very satisfactory to learners.
