Spelling And Thinking Combined: Or The Spelling Book Made A Medium Of Thought (1859)

By Josiah Freeman Bumstead

Book Overview

Spelling And Thinking Combined: Or The Spelling Book Made A Medium Of Thought is a book written by Josiah Freeman Bumstead in 1859. The book aims to combine the teaching of spelling with the development of critical thinking skills. Bumstead argues that traditional spelling books only focus on memorization and do not encourage students to think critically about language and its usage. The book is divided into two parts. The first part contains the traditional spelling exercises, but Bumstead adds a new twist by including words that have multiple meanings or are commonly misspelled. The second part focuses on developing critical thinking skills through exercises that require students to analyze and interpret language. Bumstead believes that by combining spelling and critical thinking, students will not only become better spellers but also better communicators and thinkers. The book is intended for teachers and students alike and provides a unique approach to language learning that is still relevant today.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
