The Language-Speller, Vol. 2
A Correlation of Language Work With Spelling (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from The Language-Speller, Vol. 2: A Correlation of Language Work With Spelling<br><br>Part II. of the "Language-Speller" supplements and completes the course in spelling, letter-writing, and composition begun in Part I. The same general plan has been pursued in both books.<br><br>The formation of words, together with a synthetical presentation of stems, prefixes, and suffixes, receives much attention in Part II., so that the pupil reads the meaning of the word that he spells in the word itself. Groups of synonyms are presented in nearly every lesson, enriching the vocabulary and leading to a discriminating use of language.<br><br>Many usual and persistent errors in expression are corrected, and the fact that a writer may become more and more skilful in his choice of words is exemplified and illustrated.<br><br>Grammatical construction with reference to punctuation is presented, and simple, comprehensive rules for punctuation - together with illustrations of them - are given.<br><br>From friendly letters the pupil advances to letters of application, business letters, telegrams, postal-cards, informal and formal notes. The importance of furnishing note-paper, or letter-paper, and envelopes whenever the pupils have an exercise in letter-writing, cannot be too strongly urged. In this way alone can good form be secured.<br><br>Composition work is frequently unsatisfactory because the pupil is assigned a subject and then set adrift without chart or compass.<br><br>About the Publisher<br><br>Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
