The remaining word is to. It belongs to no family that the children have studied. Have the children pronounce it, use it in a number of simple sentences, and spell it.
Give each child a small piece of paper. Tell the children to look at to and spell it silently. Then without looking at the book have them write the word on paper. Each word in the lesson may be studied and written in the same way.
Writing Sentences
Lesson 4, [Page 2]
No new spelling words occur in this lesson. It is a review, an application of some of the words learned.
The first lesson, and perhaps a few others of the same kind, should be taught from the board, although it is better that each child should have a book before him.
A child reads the first sentence from the book. “Run to me.”
The teacher says, “I will write it on the board if you will spell the words. The children in the first row stand.”
Without waiting to be called upon by name the children spell the words in turn.
The teacher says, “Run begins with a capital letter because it is the first word in a sentence. Spell it, capital R-u-n.”
