Abstract

To a large majority of teachers, spelling is a hopeless subject. Frank M. McMurry says in the introduction of "The Teaching of Spelling" by Henry Suzzallo; "It seems to lack the possibility of such rich subject matter as makes reading and history attractive; and to want that organization of its facts that distinguishes every worthy branch of knowledge, since the units that compose it are not thoughts, but merely individual words. In consequence, it is recognized as almost entirely a mechanical study, providing little skill from the teacher, and depending mainly on mere repetition or brute endurance for mastery."
