At the end of the work for each grade, the list of the words taught in
the grade is given. If the word is taught in any previous grade an
asterisk is placed before the word. For example, _which_ appears in the
vocabulary of grade VI in this manner: * which. This shows that _which_
has been taught in a previous grade but does not tell in what grades,
nor how many times it occurs in each grade. It is given in the
vocabulary of grade V in the same manner. In grade III it occurs without
the asterisk, showing that this word occurs for the first time in grade
III.
These vocabularies should be of great value to both teacher and pupil as
they will enable both to determine at once the words which have been
taught in the respective grades. If the word has been taught in a
previous grade the teacher will know it and govern herself accordingly.
If the word has been presented in that grade the pupil has a chance to
find out the spelling without consulting the teacher, thus saving the
teacher’s time.
