Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book examines the orthographical and orthoepical methods of the author, George B. Emerson, as they are applied in this spelling book. His approach to spelling was motivated by a desire to simplify the ways in which words are pronounced and committed to paper. In particular, Emerson's text argued for the phonetic spelling of many words, in order to make spelling intuitive. The 'old' way of learning to read, write, and spell did not take into account the wide variation in spelling and sound, which was a common concern among educators of the time. At a time when learning to read was even more challenging than it is today, this book presented a timely analysis of the dominant spelling and reading philosophies of the period and offered new approaches to teaching literacy skills. This text also includes a comprehensive appendix which categorizes words according to their spelling patterns, making it an invaluable resource for those working to improve their spelling, or for those interested in the evolution of English orthography.
