By giving or having the children give sentences using the words
correctly, make sure that the meaning of every word is understood by
the pupils.
Much of the spelling of phonetic lists may be done orally. After
several groups have been studied, dictate words from them to be written
by the children. For example, after lessons 5, 6, and 7 have been
studied and spelled orally, dictate ten or twelve words selected from
these groups for the children to write. Several groups may be studied
and spelled orally in one spelling period, and words from these groups
dictated and written during another period. The writing of a spelling
lesson only tests the pupil’s power. Put most of your time and effort
into teaching, into helping the pupils to acquire the power.
