Many of the words in this book are grouped into phonetic lists. The
object of this is strongly to impress the common part of these words
upon the child. The repeated sight, sound, and spelling of this common
combination of letters make it possible to learn the words in a list
easily and in a short time. This common part is _pronounced_ the same
and _spelled_ the same in all the words of a list. Have the children
_find_ this common part, _pronounce_ it distinctly, and _spell_ it.
Then have each word in the list spelled orally, emphasizing the part
that is not common. For example, in lesson 6, page 2, is a list of
phonetic words.
1. Have the children give the part that is common to every word in the
list--_ever_.
