Vocabulary - "Essentials of Spelling" represents an attempt to teach only the essential words of the written vocabularies of children and adults. These essential words are those that are used frequently by the majority of people, and not those used occasionally by a few. It is an effort to study the spelling problem scientifically. It advocates fewer words and more drill, for investigation it has shown that the spelling vocabulary that is common o to a group of adults is surprisingly small. In the three-book edition for Lower Grades, Middle Grades, and Higher Grades, - including work for grades two to nine, - the regular lessons present about 2400 important words, while supplementary lists contain more than 1200 words that are less important or less difficult. The words in the regular lessons for each half grade should first be carefully studied, and then, if there is sufficient time, the words of the supplementary list of that half grade should be learned.
This book, "Essentials of Spelling", by Pearson Henry Carr, Henry Suzzallo, is a replication of a book originally published before 1921. It has been restored by human beings, page by page, so that you may enjoy it in a form as close to the original as possible.
