Reading Speller: A New Method Of Teaching Spelling (1887)

By William Alec Campbell

Book Overview

Reading Speller: A New Method Of Teaching Spelling is a book written by William Alec Campbell and originally published in 1887. The book aims to provide a new and effective method for teaching spelling to students of all ages. The author believes that traditional spelling methods, which rely on rote memorization and repetition, are ineffective and tedious for students. Instead, Campbell proposes a new approach that combines reading and spelling. The book contains a series of graded exercises that are designed to improve students' reading and spelling skills simultaneously. The exercises are based on a phonetic system that emphasizes the sounds of words rather than their visual appearance. The book is divided into three parts. The first part provides an overview of the author's method and the principles behind it. The second part contains the graded exercises, which are organized by difficulty level. The exercises include both individual words and sentences, and are designed to be completed in a specific order. The final part of the book provides additional resources for teachers and students, including a list of common spelling errors and their corrections, as well as a glossary of technical terms. Overall, Reading Speller: A New Method Of Teaching Spelling is a comprehensive guide to a new and innovative approach to teaching spelling. It has been praised for its effectiveness and its ability to engage students in the learning process.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
