WORD LIST.
The following is an alphabetical list of the most difficult words used in this Reader.
The less difficult words that have been used in the previous Readers of this series are omitted.
This list may be made the basis of a great variety of exercises in correct pronunciation, distinct enunciation, rapid spelling, language lessons, and review work.
For an explanation of the diacritical marks, see preceding page.
The syllable tion is not re-spelled in this list, but wherever it occurs should be pronounced shŭn.
