Lippincott's Horn-Ashbaugh Speller For Grades One to Eight

by Ernest Horn; Ernest J. Ashbaugh

Directions for Teaching.—Read the preface and study with particular care the suggestions given on pages [vii] to [xvi]. It would be well also to read the suggestions to first, second and third grade teachers. You will need to supervise the correction of papers by pupils very closely.

Remember that the lessons are arranged by weeks rather than by days. The work for each week consists of one advance column and one review column. The review column in each case is the fourth column preceding the advance work. That is, it is made up of a week's work one month old. For example, column 5 contains 20 new words to be learned in one week. During the same week, column 1 should be reviewed. The lesson for the first week consists of column 1, which is the advance lesson, and of column R 1, which is the review.
