Excerpt from Appleton's Standard Speller There are two steps before writing and composition; namely, pronunciation and spelling. The Speller works from the first step toward the third. Therefore, Phonic Drill begins in the First Year and is carried through the Fourth; and syllabication and accent begin in the Third and continue to the end of the book, being delayed so much only because the pupil should first recognize the written words as wholes. It is suggested that the teacher supplement the Phonic Drills by calling attention to some general rules of pronunciation; for example, to the short vowel before a doubled consonant, to the long vowel before a single consonant followed by e, and to the frequency of hard 9 and hard 0 before a and o and of soft g and soft 0 before 6 and i. In the step from pronunciation to spelling, Word Building is a help; and exercises in Word Building occur in the Second, Third, and Fourth Years. The sentences, introduced as much to practice readiness and ease in spelling as to illustrate the meanings of words, are not always limited to the word list immediately preceding, but often give opportunity for test and review. As helpful to the work in Dictation, the uses of the simpler marks of punctuation have been explained and illustrated. At the close of the work in Punctuation, there begins, in the Fifth Year, the systematic drill in Etymology, which is treated simply, with abundant explanation, illustration, and practice work. And as a last step toward that careful composition work for which the book is preparing is a list of Synonyms, defined. In the section for Advanced Grades, the apportionment of the material in lessons has been left to the teacher, who can best suit the work to the time and deficiencies of the particular class.
