year. There are also
two lessons containing names of the months, days of the week, and
certain abbreviations.

=Directions for Teaching.=--Read carefully the suggestions on pages vii
to xvi. Read also the suggestions to teachers of the first four
grades. See to it that your pupils attack their lessons in an
aggressive manner. The pupils in grade five do considerable work in
written composition, so it will be well to watch very closely the
errors made in such work. Have the pupils learn all words misspelled
in their written work, using the same method as in their regular
spelling lessons.

Remember that the lessons are arranged by weeks rather than by days.
The work for each week consists of one advance column and one review
column. The review column in each case is the fourth column preceding
the advance work. That is, it is made up of a week's work one month
old. For example, column 5 contains 20 new words to be learned in one
week. During the same week, column 1 should be reviewed. The lesson
for the first week consists of column 1, which is the advance lesson,
and of column R 1, which is the review.
