notice, for example, that first grade
lessons contain ten instead of twenty words. You will need also to
give more attention for the first two or three weeks to initiating
correct habits of study. Remember that teachers above grade one will
build upon habits which you initiate.

The words in the first grade list are very simple, so that there
should be no difficulty in learning to spell them. Neither should the
children have any difficulty in understanding any of the one hundred
fifty words.

=Directions for Schools in Which the Pupils do Not Write in Grade
One.=--The pupils in such schools should be taught to study according to
the first six directions given under How to Learn to Spell a Word, page
xv. The tests in these cases will have to be oral tests. Otherwise,
the methods recommended in the general directions may be used.
