Synopsis

A practical manual that reshapes how spelling is taught in schools.

This classic guide examines why spelling matters and how to teach it effectively. It argues for careful selection of words, purpose-driven instruction, and testing that reflects real writing use, not just a book’s word list. The book offers concrete methods teachers can apply in daily lessons to build a lasting “spelling consciousness.”

Inside you’ll find a clear framework for designing vocabulary lists, integrating phonics with sight words, and using regular reviews to strengthen accuracy and neatness. It also covers how to structure lessons, assess progress, and foster student pride in correct spelling through purposeful practice.

• How to select vocabulary that matches student needs and grade level.
• Step-by-step teaching strategies for phonetic and sight word reviews.
• Practical activities that connect spelling to writing, reading, and dictionary use.
• Guidance on testing, feedback, and building a durable spelling habit.

Ideal for teachers shaping spelling curricula, literacy coaches, and school administrators seeking a thoughtful, research-informed approach to spelling education.

Excerpt from Learning to Spell: A Manual for Teachers Using the Aldine Speller

Are we spelling as well in our schools today as our forefathers did in the little red schoolhouse? This is the question that has been asked many times but no one has been able to answer it in any convincing way. There have been advocates of both sides of the question. The fact remains that no one knows. We do not know how well children could spell fifty, or even twenty-five, years ago. As time goes by there is a glamour thrown over the past and we see only the high lights. We remember that in spelling a match there was a certain boy, or girl, who spelled down the entire school time after time, or possibly had a reputation for being the best speller in the entire county. When a spelling match was announced it was a foregone conclusion that the victory lay between two or three pupils. How many children of the eight grade could spell the following list of words?

Leopold Classic Library is delighted to publish this classic book as part of our extensive collection. As part of our on-going commitment to delivering value to the reader, we have also provided you with a link to a website, where you may download a digital version of this work for free. Many of the books in our collection have been out of print for decades, and therefore have not been accessible to the general public. Whilst the books in this collection have not been hand curated, an aim of our publishing program is to facilitate rapid access to this vast reservoir of literature. As a result of this book being first published many decades ago, it may have occasional imperfections. These imperfections may include poor picture quality, blurred or missing text. While some of these imperfections may have appeared in the original work, others may have resulted from the scanning process that has been applied. However, our view is that this is a significant literary work, which deserves to be brought back into print after many decades. While some publishers have applied optical character recognition (OCR), this approach has its own drawbacks, which include formatting errors, misspelt words, or the presence of inappropriate characters. Our philosophy has been guided by a desire to provide the reader with an experience that is as close as possible to ownership of the original work. We hope that you will enjoy this wonderful classic book, and that the occasional imperfection that it might contain will not detract from the experience.
