Note to the Teacher. The vocabulary of this book is here rearranged for class drill. This should be given daily until the pupils are able to pronounce at least thirty words per minute either by following the columns or the lines.
In this grade children may be expected to give the reasons for the several vowel sounds herein taught, but should not be required to commit and apply phonetic rules. As the words in a column are generally in the same phonetic group, column drills tend to fix the principle there presented. But in the line drills and in the review tables children must rely upon their own knowledge of the phonetic elements.
Table I consists of monosyllabic words of not more than four letters in which a single consonant precedes a short vowel or in which a short vowel begins the word. There is a column for each vowel.
Table II contains words with two consonants final or initial or both.
Table III introduces vowels made long by final silent e.
Table IV is a mixed review with some additional words.
Table V contains long vowel digraphs and y equivalent to long i, and has a review column of forms ending in s.
Tables VI, VII, and VIII contain lists of words illustrating the remaining vowel sounds in frequent use throughout the book.
Table IX presents groups of words taught by analogy. It also illustrates c, g, and dg, followed by silent e.
Table X is a review of monosyllables with some additional words.
Table XI teaches words of two syllables with the endings ing, short y, and er; also the elision of e. Column five is largely a review.
Table XII presents three columns of words of two syllables illustrating the phonetic principles previously set forth. Column four illustrates the long vowel ending an accented syllable; column five gives final ed pronounced as d or t.
Table XIII, column one, gives a and be as prefixes and ful as a suffix; column two, silent letters; column three, contractions and possessives; column four and column five, unclassified phonetic words.
Table XIV contains unphonetic words or words but partly phonetic.
