About This Book

A practical manual collects the English words most often mispronounced and supplies pronunciations supported by leading authorities in England and America. Entries display alternative forms with typographic emphasis to indicate the relative weight of authority, and a star identifies words with unanimous endorsement. A how-to-use section advises teachers and families to employ short, frequent drills, rapid review, and occasional written recitation for effective practice. Drill columns of unmarked words in the back provide material for oral and written exercises, and a comprehensive diacritical key explains the symbols used for pronunciation. When usages differ, preference is generally given to American practice where balance exists.
