Champion spelling book, for public and private schools

This is a digital copy of a book that was preserved for generations on library shelves before it was carefully scanned by Google as part of a project
to make the world's books discoverable online.

It has survived long enough for the copyright to expire and the book to enter the public domain. A public domain book is one that was never subject
to copyright or whose legal copyright term has expired. Whether a book is in the public domain may vary country to country. Public domain books
are our gateways to the past, representing a wealth of history, culture and knowledge that's often difficult to discover.

Marks, notations and other marginalia present in the original volume will appear in this file - a reminder of this book's long journey from the
publisher to a library and finally to you.

Usage guidelines

Google is proud to partner with libraries to digitize public domain materials and make them widely accessible. Public domain books belong to the
public and we are merely their custodians. Nevertheless, this work is expensive, so in order to keep providing this resource, we have taken steps to
prevent abuse by commercial parties, including placing technical restrictions on automated querying.

We also ask that you:

+ Make non-commercial use of the files We designed Google Book Search for use by individuals, and we request that you use these files for
personal, non-commercial purposes.

+ Refrain from automated querying Do not send automated queries of any sort to Google's system: If you are conducting research on machine
translation, optical character recognition or other areas where access to a large amount of text is helpful, please contact us. We encourage the
use of public domain materials for these purposes and may be able to help.

+ Maintain attribution The Google "watermark" you see on each file is essential for informing people about this project and helping them find
additional materials through Google Book Search. Please do not remove it.

+ Keep it legal Whatever your use, remember that you are responsible for ensuring that what you are doing is legal. Do not assume that just
because we believe a book is in the public domain for users in the United States, that the work is also in the public domain for users in other
countries. Whether a book is still in copyright varies from country to country, and we can't offer guidance on whether any specific use of
any specific book is allowed. Please do not assume that a book's appearance in Google Book Search means it can be used in any manner
anywhere in the world. Copyright infringement liability can be quite severe.

PREFACE

For years teachers, principals, superintendents, and
school boards everywhere have been wearied by the cry
of business men, " The boys that you send to us can't
spell." In Cleveland an educational commission of promi-
nent citizens made an investigation in 1906 and reenforced
the cry. But two years later, Cleveland girls and boys
won their famous victory in the National Education Asso-
ciation spelling contest of 1908. The methods by which
the reformation was wrought and the victory won under-
lie this book, hence its name.

The intensive teaching of two new words daily and
the employment of spelling contests, making drill and
review effective, are the prominent features that led to
success. There is no reason why similar results may not
be secured elsewhere by following similar methods, as
explained more fully in the following pages.

Grateful acknowledgment is made to the thousand or
more Cleveland teachers, from whose grade lists the
vocabulary of the Champion Spelling Book has been
selected.

Cleveland, Ohio, January 1, 1909.

SUGGESTIONS TO TEACHERS

Intensive Teaching. — This book presents about 1200 words
each year, and teaches 312 of them with clearness and in-
tensity. Two words are made prominent in each lesson.
Their pronunciation, division into syllables, derivation, pho-
netic properties, oral and written spelling, and meaning, are
all to be made clear to pupils. (Full diacritic marking will
be found in the alphabetical list at the end of each year's
work.) The prominent words are to be used in intelligent
sentences made by the pupils. Center your energy on securing
mastery of these two words ; the eight subordinate words of
each lesson are largely review words and not difficult — al-
though you should make sure that the meaning of each is under-
stood. Use the markings only to establish pronunciation;
write the word always as a whole, without markings or division
into syllables; drill much on enunciation of vowel sounds;
establish the power to use the dictionary ; frequently make the
recitation a combination of oral and written work. These
processes contribute much to the plan of intensive teaching.

Systematic Drill. — Systematic review is provided through-
out the book. Each of the ten prominent words taught inten-
sively in a week is listed as a subordinate word within the
next two weeks ; included in a spelling contest at the end of
eight weeks; again in the annual contest at the end of the
school year; and again as a subordinate word in the follow-
ing year's work; — used five times, in all, within two years.
Eighteen hundred and seventy-two words often misspelled are,
in this manner, intensively taught and effectively reviewed.

Spelling Contests. — The contests, when properly conducted,
stimulate the schools to their highest effort. They are more
effective than the spelling bee, or the spell-down. The contest

4

requires all pupils to write all words given, and in addition
all words which the pupils have actually misspelled. After
this is done, the papers are collected and the words are spelled
orally. Eecord is made of oral errors. The papers are then
marked and teachers report, as follows :

1. Number of pupils enrolled.

2. Number taking part in the contest.

3. The total number of words misspelled in the oral contest.

4. The total number of words misspelled in the written
contest.

5. The total number of errors in both.

6. The average number of errors per pupil taking part.

7. The number of pupils making no errors.

The average number of errors is posted in the schoolroom.
It may be reported to the principal or superintendent, and
comparisons made between the same grades of a building, the
same grades of different buildings, the different grades of
the same building, all grades of all buildings. Buildings,
grades, and schools may learn their rank in the community,
and trace the record to girls and boys who are responsible.
Thus, all join with the public in a worthy effort for improve-
ment, centering effort on the poorer spellers.

Other Features. — It is important that the dominant plan of
the book be followed closely, by teaching intensively two new
words daily. The subordinate words will be found arranged
in helpful groupings. The supplementary lessons will serve as
aids in teaching sounds of vowels, homonyms, rules of spell-
ing, abbreviated forms, suffixes, prefixes, use of hyphens, plu-
rals, dictation work, and word building. The words used in
the National Education Association contest are given in the
back of the book.

Has stood the Test. — This book aims to be a spelling book
only. The selection of words, their gradation and presenta-
tion; the system of intensive teaching with methodical re-
views ; the spelling contests ; and the supplementary features,
— all have stood the test of class-room use.

Suggestion : Spelling papers should be corrected in the reci-
tation period and emphasis given to the correct spelling of the
words misspelled. Oral spelling should move with snap.
Each pupil should have but one trial on a word. Schoolroom
devices which stimulate a keen competition have value, when
used wisely. Do not depend upon them exclusively. Teach a
little daily, test thoughtfully, drill intensively.

Suggestion: Effective review may be secured by the frequent
use of two or three pages of Sections III* IV, and V for oral
drill, without previous preparation on the part of the pupils.
Note any word misspelled and bring it forward into daily use
until its spelling is mastered by all pupils. This follow-up
process should be carried out with all words that are misspelled
in written work.

1 Lessons numbered in this manner are to be given Mondays.

Suggestion: Reviews of the supplementary exercises in
Sections I, II, III, IV, and V will be of service to pupils.
Frequent drill may be needed on some exercises. Much care
is required in establishing intelligent use of the dictionary.
How many pupils are sure that they enunciate the short
sounds of vowels correctly ? How many are sure that they
recognize these sounds when the teacher enunciates them ?
Skill in this work will make the teacher effective with her
careless, backward spellers. This work should not be spas-
modic, but daily.

Supplementary Ex. 3 : Dictation

Hence, of all people, children are the most imaginative.
They abandon themselves without reserve to every illusion.
Every image which is strongly presented to their mental eye
produces on them the effect of reality. No man, whatever his
sensibility may be, is ever affected by Hamlet or Lear, as a
little girl is affected by the story of poor Red Riding Hood.
She knows that it is all false, that wolves cannot speak, that
there are no wolves in England. Yet, in spite of her knowl-
edge, she believes ; she weeps ; she trembles ; she dares not go
into a dark room lest she should feel the teeth of the monster
at her throat. Such is the despotism of the imagination over
uncultivated minds. — Macaulay : Essay on Milton.

There are men of esprit who are excessively exhausting to
some people. They are the talkers who have what may be
called jerky minds. Their thoughts do not run in the natural
order of sequence. They say bright things on all possible
subjects, but their zigzags rack you to death. After a jolting
half-hour with one of these jerky companions, talking with a
dull friend affords great relief.

SPENCERS 5 PRACTICAL
WRITING

By PLATT R. SPENCER'S SONS
Books i, 2, 3, 4» 5, 6, 7, and 8 Per dozen, £o.6o

SPENCERS' PRACTICAL WRITING has been devised
because of the distinct and wide-spread reaction from the
use of vertical writing in schools. It is thoroughly up-
to-date, embodying all the advantages of the old and of the
new. Each word can be written by one continuous move-
ment of the pen.

^[ The books teach a plain, practical hand, moderate in slant,
and free from ornamental curves, shades, and meaningless
lines. The stem letters are long enough to be clear and un-
mistakable. The capitals are about two spaces in height.
^[ The copies begin with words and gradually develop into
sentences. The letters, both large and small, are taught
systematically. In the first two books the writing is some-
what larger than is customary because it is more easily learned
by young children. These books also contain many illustra-
tions in oudine. The ruling is very simple.
^[ Instruction is afforded showing how the pupil should sit at
the desk, and hold the pen and paper. A series of drill move-
ment exercises, thirty-three in number, with directions for
their use, accompanies each book.

THIS simple, inexpensive device provides abundant drill in writing
words. At the same time it trains pupils to form their copies in
accordance with the most modem and popular system of penmanship,
and saves much valuable time for both teacher and pupil.
