Description
Excerpt from The Sanborn Speller: For Primary, Intermediate and Grammar Grades
Spelling is a mental habit. Ability to spell correctly and with ease, saves time in the expression of thought in writing. The arbitrary character of English words makes it an easy matter to acquire the habit of spelling incorrectly. To teach pupils to correct this habit it is necessary that spelling be given an important place in the school program. The attempt to dispense with the use of the spelling book and with regular instruction in the subject has convinced teachers that the ability to spell can be acquired only through careful study of prepared lists of words selected with due regard to the requirements of apperception. The spelling book serves as a stimulus to spelling because it places the subject on a plane with other subjects in the program. Without a book teachers as well as pupils will neglect the subject. Furthermore, the spelling book brings before the pupil's eyes a graded list of words which will direct attention to their alphabetical structure, thereby producing correct mental impressions.
The purpose of this book is to teach pupils to spell correctly. Much of the unused material to be found in many modern spelling books has been purposely omitted. The words presented in this book have been selected to meet the pupil's intellectual growth and to aid in the acquisition of a vocabulary. Uncommon words are omitted. Words used in the pupil's daily life are presented in natural and logical order. These words are followed by words which will be most needed in the work of the next grade. There are no repetitions of words except in the eighth grade.
