PREFACE
To teachers and the public alike, probably no subject taught in
the public schools has been more disappointing than spelling. This
disappointment is undoubtedly due to:
1. Defective material for study and poor methods of teaching;
2. Too much testing and too little teaching;
3. Finding errors rather than preventing them;
4. The use of a theoretical, rather than the practical, vocabulary of
children and adults.
The teaching of spelling must be done from a spelling book in the hands
of the children, 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 book, the selection and preparation of which are the
result of years of special observation and testing.
A plan of teaching spelling to secure the best results should consist of
a thoughtful, systematic, and comprehensive presentation of the words and
spelling facts which every pupil must learn. It must contain an adequate
and simple system of phonics for the primary grades, 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
fixed. 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 work, and that it will also develop and
broaden his vocabulary for his future needs. It should contain suitable
directions and hints to the teacher, sufficiently removed from the
pupil’s text so that he may not be confused by them. It may, and in many
grades should, 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 mastered. It should
contain a very few of the most important spelling rules simply stated.
It should contain a large variety of sentences for dictation, which
may wisely take the form of gems of thought. Such a plan, well taught,
constantly supplemented by the teacher with such words as the peculiar
difficulties of individual pupils and classes may require, will produce a
maximum of ability to spell correctly.
In the Aldine Speller the authors have presented a plan of teaching
which in actual results has proved singularly effective. The vocabulary
has been selected and graded with unusual care to meet the actual needs
of life and to develop a spelling sense. 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 selection.
Paralleling this, the various recent tests and investigations, notably
those of Ayres, Jones, and Cook and O’Shea, have been checked. The
resulting vocabulary is thought to represent the real writing vocabulary
of the average child of the grade in which it is taught. 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
schoolroom.
In the primary grades use is made of exceptionally valuable phonetic
lists. Emphasis is placed upon this important and very practical
foundation for the development of a spelling sense, and its mastery in
the primary grades will do much to train children to spell correctly. A
few comparatively uncommon words are used in these lists chiefly for the
value of the phonetic drill.
As every error creates a tendency, and if repeated quickly establishes
a habit, it is important that the correct spelling of words be taught
before children have occasion to write them. Every worth-while test and
investigation shows the most common and most useful words in our language
to be the words used early by children. It is likewise certain that very
many of the misspelled words are one-syllable words in very common use.
It would, therefore, 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 habits, rather than incorrect
ones, may be formed.
Obligation is expressed to Dr. Leonard P. Ayres of the Russell Sage
Foundation for kind permission to make use of his list of “The Thousand
Commonest Words.” These and some four thousand other very common and
important words constitute the Aldine vocabulary.
That the Aldine Speller may lead to some real teaching, and decrease
“lesson hearing,” is the hope of the authors.
DIRECTIONS TO TEACHERS
ORAL SPELLING
Oral spelling should always precede written spelling in the primary
grades. Careful and distinct pronunciation by the child should always
precede oral spelling. Children cannot be expected to spell correctly
words that they cannot pronounce. It is well to emphasize the form of a
word of more than one syllable by syllabication. It makes the spelling
more obvious, promotes clear enunciation, and assists in creating a
correct mental picture of the word. The sight words in this book are so
syllabicated when first presented. A slight pause between the syllables
is usually sufficient in oral spelling. In writing the words they should
not be divided.
TESTING
The mere “hearing” of spelling lessons is happily a thing of the past in
most schools. However, teachers cannot be too strongly impressed with
the worthlessness of such exercises. The primary object is to instruct,
not to examine—to teach to spell correctly, not to find out how many
words may be spelled incorrectly. Review lessons are frequently given,
and these are sufficient for test purposes. All other lessons should be
thoroughly taught with instruction the aim and object of the lesson.
CORRELATION WITH PHONICS
The best possible preparation for teaching to spell is thoughtful,
intelligent drill in phonics. As all modern methods of teaching reading
give systematic phonic drills, and thus most children have had some
preparation before spelling is begun, the phonetic lists in this book
will be found to be easy. Not only will they be easy, if intelligently
taught, but they will serve the double purpose of teaching the children
to spell intelligently and independently, and of enabling them to
recognize new words. In other words, the right kind of phonetic teaching
may be made of great educative value, teaching at the same time both
spelling and reading. Thoughtful consideration will show the teacher
that a large proportion of words are strictly phonetic, i.e. “spell
themselves.” In learning the spelling of one word, if the phonetic
elements have been properly and thoroughly taught, the child is learning
the spelling of all words containing the same phonograms. It is,
therefore, of the utmost importance in the primary grades that a phonetic
sense be developed and utilized.
The lists used in this book are presented first in the text as short
lists, each of which precedes the use of any word of the series in
dictation. On page 61 will be found more complete lists for supplementary
drill. These are numbered in the same order and are similar to those
found on the Aldine Phonic Chart, which the teacher will find to be of
great assistance. Drills on these complete series may well be given
whenever a review or additional lesson is possible. The pupil may study
from his book; quick drills may be given from the Phonic Chart; then a
selected list may be dictated by the teacher. Too much intelligent drill
on these phonic series cannot be given.
INTEREST
It has been well said that “interest is nine-tenths of education.” This
is true in teaching spelling. Any means which will arouse interest in
mastering words is likely to be effective. So far as our forefathers
succeeded in securing results in this subject they did so by the interest
in the old-fashioned “spelling bee.” Spelling matches of various sorts
are desirable for creating interest. The review lists and phonetic lists
will be found admirable for this purpose. It should be remembered,
however, that this is testing what is already learned and is not teaching
something new.
PUPILS’ LISTS
Each pupil has his own difficulties in spelling. 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 makers. These may
be listed in the back of his textbook or in his individual notebook.
Occasional lessons may be devoted entirely to this kind of exercise, and
they should be individual and painstaking. Such words should be watched
for in the other written work and misspelling prevented rather than
corrected. 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 crayon. If possible leave them in sight for
several days.
REVIEWS
Frequent reviews are given, and these should be used to test the
children, to check their accomplishment, and to supply a record of their
individual ability. The lists of “Initial Words of Phonetic Series” at
the end of the work for each grade should be used for the same purpose,
and much valuable reviewing may be done with the Series themselves. The
Phonic Chart is valuable for this purpose.
ALPHABETICAL LIST
That the teacher may know just what words have been taught, an
alphabetical list of all sight words is given at the end of the book.
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 sure. Then only may they safely be brought
together for comparison. 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 each.
ORDER OF PRESENTATION
All children do not learn spelling equally well in the same way. Some are
sense-organ learners, while others are largely motor-organ learners. Most
children are both. In all cases the order of seeing words, hearing them
pronounced, pronouncing them, spelling them aloud, and then writing them,
will be found to be most effective. Appeal is thus made successively to
the eye, the ear, the memory, and the hand.
PROPER NAMES
In the first grade the child should be taught to spell his own name.
In the second grade he should be taught the most common names of other
children in the room, the name of the teacher, of the city or town, and
of the state. He should be taught that these names always begin with a
capital letter. Other local names of special importance may be presented
at the discretion of the teacher.
HOW THIS BOOK IS TO BE USED
THE ALPHABET
Page 1
Often the spelling of words is forced upon the child before he has
properly mastered the alphabet. This is the cause of much poor spelling,
much _guessing_ in the primary grades. Before a child is allowed to spell
orally he should be absolutely sure of the name of every letter, and he
should be able to recognize and name it at sight. Before he is allowed to
write one word in a dictated spelling lesson, the pupil should be able to
write any letter of the alphabet from dictation. This means that the real
study of spelling should not be undertaken until the middle of the first
year or later.
Be sure that your pupils know their letters before beginning spelling.
Following are some suggestions for Alphabet drills. Use any that you
think helpful.
ALPHABET DRILLS
1. Have pupils read the alphabet in order, pointing to each letter as it
is named.
2. Have pupils point to the letters in any order as you call them.
In this drill teach them the approximate place of the letters, that is,
to look for _a_, _d_, _c_, _f_, near the beginning; _j_, _n_, _k_, _o_,
near the middle; _t_, _v_, _w_, near the end.
3. Ask such questions as, “What letter comes after _m_? _n_? _d_? _t_?”
4. Consonant Drills.
(_a_) Call a letter and have pupils give the sound.
(_b_) Sound a letter and have pupils give the name.
5. Written Work.
(_a_) Have pupils copy the alphabet in script from print.
(_b_) Have pupils write the alphabet from memory.
(_c_) Dictate the letters in any order and require the pupils to write
them. Time the children in this exercise, encouraging them to write as
rapidly as possible.
6. The Typewriter Game.
Call the alphabet on page 1 of the child’s book the keys of a typewriter.
Have the children spell words, touching the letters as the letter keys.
Dictate as follows: “Write _at_ on your typewriter.” The pupils touch
_a_ and _t_ as they spell aloud. Then dictate _cat_, _bat_, _hat_. Use
phonetic words or words made of letters near together in the alphabet.
The object of the exercise is to find quickly the place of each letter
in the alphabet, as well as to give the ability to quickly recognize the
letters.
A PHONETIC LIST
Page 2, Lesson 1
As may be seen at a glance, this lesson contains five words using the
phonogram _un_.
The directions and suggestions given below for the study of this
particular lesson apply to all similar phonetic lessons in the book.
1. Pronounce each word distinctly, giving its meaning or using it in
a sentence, as, “sun—The sun is shining brightly.” You thus give the
children the word properly used and leave in no pupil’s mind the idea
that you meant _son_. “Fun—Did you have fun at recess time, Tom?” Tom’s
recollection of the recess games will associate the word and its meaning.
“Gun—Who has seen a gun? What is its use? Bun—The baker puts currants in
the bun.” By the variety of ways in which you give or suggest the meaning
of the word, try to arouse the pupil’s interest in the word itself. Never
require a pupil to study the spelling of a word until he has heard it
properly pronounced and knows the meaning.
2. Have the pupils read the words, pronouncing each correctly. The
children may give original sentences, using any unusual word.
3. Pupils pronounce and spell each word orally.
4. Ask what letters are found in every word. Teach the children to call
the common part the “family name” of the word and to spell it as a unit,
as, “sun—spell, s-_un_.”
5. Tell the children to look at the list of words and choose the hardest.
They may look at the word for a moment, then spell it without looking at
the book. In some such way arouse interest in the spelling of each word
in the lesson, as, “Who can find and spell the word that is the name of
something that makes a great noise?” “The one we all enjoy at recess?”
“The one that opens the flowers?” “The one we like to eat?”
6. Pronounce each word, give the family, and spell the word thus, sun,
-un, s-u-n. Have pupils emphasize the first letter—the part of each word
that is not common to the series—as, _s_un, _f_un, _b_un, _g_un, _n_un.
7. Children place their books face down on their desks, while the teacher
dictates the words. Children spell orally. If a word is missed, do not
pass it to another child. The one who missed turns over his book and
studies the correct spelling while the teacher continues to dictate words
to the other pupils. After all the children have spelled, those who
missed have a chance to spell their words correctly. From the beginning
every child must feel a responsibility for every word dictated to him. He
must spell it correctly before the lesson is ended for him.
In all oral spelling, save time by having the children respond in turn
without being called upon by name. Perhaps the best way is to go up and
down the rows.
COPYING A SPELLING LESSON
Spell the first word very softly and write it on the blackboard as you
pronounce each letter. The children look at the written form on the
board, and copy the word, saying to themselves each letter as they write.
Do the same with other words.
It is not necessary to copy each word more than once. The common part or
family name—the combination of letters that requires special drill—is
repeated in each word.
As pupils gain facility in written letter forms, they should copy their
lessons once in script from the printed lesson in the book. For the first
ten lessons, however, the teacher may well take the time to have the work
copied from the board.
DICTATING A SPELLING LESSON
The teacher who truly means to make her children realize the importance
of accurate spelling and neat writing will see that each child has a
notebook in which to keep his spelling lessons. She will show him just
how the work should be arranged in his book. (The child’s Spelling Book
shows a good arrangement.) She will insist that he follow the arrangement
and that his penmanship be neat. If the teacher cannot provide regular
blank books for spelling, the children may make their own of regular
writing paper, fastening the requisite number of sheets together with two
Magill fasteners, or sewing them with thread or raffia.
In dictating, pronounce each word clearly and distinctly. Have the
children repeat, then write the word. This habit of correct pronunciation
of the words cannot be overemphasized. It has been said, and the saying
is true, “A word correctly pronounced is half spelled.”
MARKING AND CORRECTING PAPERS
When a lesson is perfect, mark it. Mark it 100%. That is the mark
primary children like best. Mark it in colored pencil. If the child has
made a special effort in writing or in neatness, show your appreciation
and observation by affixing a star or some other symbol to his paper.
Encourage him, make him proud of his spelling, proud of his writing,
proud of his book, proud of himself.
Give no spelling mark but the mark for perfect work.
When a child makes a mistake in spelling, call his attention to it. If it
is only a careless mistake, he will spell the word orally. The _teacher_
then erases the mistake, and the child corrects it. If, however, the
child has not mastered the correct spelling, he should be referred to
his book. When he can spell the word, the teacher erases the incorrectly
spelled word, and the child writes it correctly.
The correcting of the lesson should follow as soon as possible the
writing of the lesson. In order that this may be done in the same period,
the lessons are kept very short. In order that there may be few mistakes
the lessons are very simple. If the lessons are studied as suggested,
there should be very few errors to correct. If the work is corrected
as definitely as outlined, the pupils will soon learn what is required
of them, and will take pride in having a perfect, attractive book. The
arousing of such pride, and the cultivation of habits of correctness and
neatness are of incalculable value.
1. By thoughtful, intelligent study, prevent errors.
2. When mistakes are made, have the pupils correct them immediately as an
important duty.
SIGHT WORDS
Lesson 3, Page 2
The children have had two series or families in past lessons. In the new
lesson ask them to look for words that belong to these families. They
will find _run_ in the _un_ family, and _me_, _the_, _tree_, in the _e_
(_ee_) family. These words should be distinctly pronounced and spelled
orally.
The remaining word is _to_. It belongs to no family that the children
have studied. Have the children pronounce it, use it in a number of
simple sentences, and spell it.
Give each child a small piece of paper. Tell the children to look at _to_
and spell it silently. Then without looking at the book have them write
the word on paper. Each word in the lesson may be studied and written in
the same way.
WRITING SENTENCES
Lesson 4, Page 2
No new spelling words occur in this lesson. It is a review, an
application of some of the words learned.
The first lesson, and perhaps a few others of the same kind, should be
taught from the board, although it is better that each child should have
a book before him.
A child reads the first sentence from the book. “Run to me.”
The teacher says, “I will write it on the board if you will spell the
words. The children in the first row stand.”
Without waiting to be called upon by name the children spell the words in
turn.
The teacher says, “_Run_ begins with a capital letter because it is the
first word in a sentence. Spell it, capital R-u-n.”
When all the words in the sentence have been spelled and written on the
board, the teacher places the period at the end, saying, “There is a
period at the end of this sentence.”
The second sentence is to be spelled by the children and written on the
board by the teacher in the same way.
The children may now copy the sentences from the blackboard.
The two things to be taught in this lesson are the capital to begin the
first word, and the period at the end of the sentence.
REVIEWS OF PHONETIC WORDS
Phonetic reviews are given frequently throughout the book. Each lesson
contains one word of the series taught. These words are numbered.
Have the children open their books to the review lesson, as that on page
6.
Let the children read the words and the families, as, _run-un_, _me-e_,
_play-ay_, _fly-y_. Then have each word spelled orally.
Now dictate other words from the same families, as, _sun_, _see_, _gay_,
_cry_, _sand_. If a pupil misspells a word, give him the number of the
family in which the word occurs. Let him look in his book, study his
word, and be ready to spell it when you have finished dictating other
words to the rest of the class. Thus you may dictate the word _say_. The
child hesitates or misspells the word. Give him number 3. He looks in his
book, finds 3 and the well-known word _play_ after the number. He knows
the word _say_ is in the same family, and he studies out the word while
you are hearing the rest of the class spell words in the other families.
When you return to him and ask, “What is your word?” he answers,
“Say—s-a-y.”
Never pass a word to a second child. Each child must spell, with help if
necessary, every word that is dictated to him.
For written review, dictate any words from the series represented in the
review lesson. Return again and again to these review lessons.
SEAT WORK
Have the children copy the words and under each write one or more words
in the same family. Thus:
run me play fly and
fun be hay try band
REVIEWS OF SIGHT WORDS
Use these reviews for oral spelling matches and for written tests. Keep
records of these written tests. There are 36 sight words assigned to the
first year.
The following chart is simple and effective in keeping a record of these
tests.
SPELLING CHART
We can spell:
Children’s Names 12 Words 24 Words 36 Words
John Smith 100% 100%
Mary Brown 100%
Tom Good 100% 100% 100%
This shows that John Smith can spell the first two columns of sight
words given on page 17, Mary Brown can spell the first column, and Tom
Good can spell all three. No mark but the 100% mark is placed on the
chart. Arouse the child’s interest and ambition to master these sight
words.
In the second year, keep a space on the chart for each review lesson as
it occurs.
ADDITIONAL SEAT WORK
1. Make the words or sentences in each lesson with “word builder”
letters. This work should be carefully examined to see that it is correct
and that it follows the arrangement given in the book.
2. Copy in script the lesson from the book.
THE QUESTION
Lesson 32, Page 8
Teach the use of the question mark as follows, “There is a question mark
after ‘Will they fall?’ because this sentence asks a question.”
QUOTATION MARKS
Lesson 23, Page 25
Have the children copy these sentences, telling them that the quotation
marks are put around, “Where are my baby stars?” because these are the
words of the moon. If omitted in dictation lessons, have the child open
his book and put them in, but do not count this omission an error.

contain “Defects,” such as, but not limited to, incomplete, inaccurate

Defect you cause.
Section 2. Information about the Mission of Project Gutenberg™
Project Gutenberg™ is synonymous with the free distribution of
electronic works in formats readable by the widest variety of
computers including obsolete, old, middle-aged and new computers. It
exists because of the efforts of hundreds of volunteers and donations
from people in all walks of life.
Volunteers and financial support to provide volunteers with the
assistance they need are critical to reaching Project Gutenberg™’s
goals and ensuring that the Project Gutenberg™ collection will
remain freely available for generations to come. In 2001, the Project
Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation was created to provide a secure
and permanent future for Project Gutenberg™ and future
generations. To learn more about the Project Gutenberg Literary
Archive Foundation and how your efforts and donations can help, see
Sections 3 and 4 and the Foundation information page at www.gutenberg.org.
Section 3. Information about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation

501(c)(3) educational corporation organized under the laws of the
state of Mississippi and granted tax exempt status by the Internal
Revenue Service. The Foundation’s EIN or federal tax identification
number is 64-6221541. Contributions to the Project Gutenberg Literary

Section 4. Information about Donations to the Project Gutenberg
Literary Archive Foundation
Project Gutenberg™ depends upon and cannot survive without widespread
public support and donations to carry out its mission of
increasing the number of public domain and licensed works that can be
freely distributed in machine-readable form accessible by the widest
array of equipment including outdated equipment. Many small donations
($1 to $5,000) are particularly important to maintaining tax exempt
status with the IRS.
The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating
charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United
States. Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a
considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and keep up
with these requirements. We do not solicit donations in locations
where we have not received written confirmation of compliance. To SEND
DONATIONS or determine the status of compliance for any particular state
visit www.gutenberg.org/donate.
While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where we
have not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no prohibition
against accepting unsolicited donations from donors in such states who
approach us with offers to donate.
International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make
any statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from
outside the United States. U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff.
Please check the Project Gutenberg web pages for current donation
methods and addresses. Donations are accepted in a number of other
ways including checks, online payments and credit card donations. To
donate, please visit: www.gutenberg.org/donate.
Section 5. General Information About Project Gutenberg™ electronic works
Professor Michael S. Hart was the originator of the Project
Gutenberg™ concept of a library of electronic works that could be
freely shared with anyone. For forty years, he produced and
distributed Project Gutenberg™ eBooks with only a loose network of
volunteer support.
Project Gutenberg™ eBooks are often created from several printed
editions, all of which are confirmed as not protected by copyright in
the U.S. unless a copyright notice is included. Thus, we do not
necessarily keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper
edition.
Most people start at our website which has the main PG search
facility: www.gutenberg.org.
This website includes information about Project Gutenberg™,
including how to make donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary
Archive Foundation, how to help produce our new eBooks, and how to
subscribe to our email newsletter to hear about new eBooks.
