PHILADELPHIA: PEEFAGE. FOR years past teachers have been demanding a spelling- book suitable for children. This little work has been prepared by one who, in com- mon with his fellow-teachers, has pitied children compelled to memorize long lists of words, many of which they rarely use in after life, and to which they can seldom attach any meaning. We claim for this book a plan simple and methodical. Lessons are first given which illustrate the vowel sounds. Then, beginning at home, a list of words is given suggestive of a detailed description of well-known objects. From home and its surroundings the child is led by easy steps to other familiar places of interest. As his range of vision is extended his vocabulary increases, and thus his language is built up. He needs to know how to spell these words, and he should be taught to weave them into sentences as well as to spell them, for the words are not his until he can so use them. Much care has been taken in the preparation of the illus- trations that accompany these lessons. The ingenious teacher will find them a great help in conducting the spelling exer- cise. In all cases the picture should form an introduction to the lesson. The children should find the objects, name them, describe their qualities and spell the words thus used. Believing that this book will accomplish a good work in the hands of judicious teachers, we submit it to them, and ask that it be tried in the crucible of the school-KOom. Entered, according to Act of Congress, in the year 1872, by E. H. BUTLER & CO., in the Office of the Librarian of Congress, at Washington. WESTCOTT & THOMSON, SHERMAN & Co. Stereotypers, PMla. Printers, Phila. 2 SUGGESTIONS TO .TEAOHEES. NEVER allow your children to pass over a word whose mean- ing they de not understand. Be thorough. Lead the children to put the words into sentences as they are spelled not careless sentences, but such as mean something. This will be a great help to them in acquiring the rapid use of language. Study the wants of your pupils, and adapt the exer- cise to their advancement. HOW TO CONDUCT SPELLING CLASSES. The children come into the class with their spelling-books open at the lesson. The teacher calls upon one of the children to find something in the picture. The child finds, perhaps, the. picture of a man, and the question is then asked, " How many see the picture of a man ?" All see it. The teacher then calls upon an- other child to point out some other object, and continues as be- fore till the lesson is finished. Proceed in a similar method to obtain the actions or qualities of the objects represented. It would be a good plan to have the more simple objects sketched upon the board. Encourage the children to do this. Educate the hand. They can very easily represent such common objects as a hat, broom, box, book, man, etc. Let them sketch as much as possible, and have the words printed on the board after the children have used them. After the picture has been examined and the names of the ob- jects have been discussed, a few minutes' study will be sufficient to fix he spelling in the minds of the children. To review the lesson, the children bring their slates into the class. The teacher pronounces the words, and the children print or write them on their slates. At the close of this part of the exercise the children are directed to exchange slates. They are now ready to spell from the slates. A child rises, and spells the first word just as it is written on the slate he holds. The 3 SUGGESTIONS TO TEACHERS. children decide as to its correctness. If correct, it is not marked or checked ; if incorrect, it is marked. The others check the words on their slates if incorrect, sum up misspelled words and report to the teacher at roll-call. Again, after the allotted time for preparation the children as- semble in the class-room. The class is divided into groups of three. The first three rise. Number one spells the word, num- ber two sketches the object named by it on the board if able to do so (if not, gives a sentence containing the word), whilst num- ber three prints the word on the board. As the first three finish the second' three rise, proceed in a similar manner, and so on for the whole class. Noiseless Review. After studying, the children pass to the board in order, and each prints any word remembered until the lesson is all on the board ; then each child rises in order, giving a sen- tence for the word he placed on the board. To review the lesson in another manner, allow the children to choose sides and pronounce from memory the words studied or spell them as the teacher dictates. Another method of conducting an exercise in spelling is as fol- lows : The teacher holds up an object or has a picture of it placed on the board, asks for the name of the object, has one or more of the pupils write or print its name on the board, asks for the sound of each letter, then for the name of each letter, and lastly asks for the name of the object. On the next page will be found an object lesson on one of the illustrations, to show the plan of drawing out the ideas of the children by means of the pictures. OBJECT LESSOR. SEE PICTURE ON PAGE 28.
