The Elementary Rational Speller by George Ellsworth Johnson is a comprehensive spelling guide designed for primary and lower grammar grade students. Originally published in 1903, this book offers a systematic approach to spelling that emphasizes the importance of understanding the rules and patterns of the English language. The book is divided into 25 lessons, each of which focuses on a specific set of words and spelling concepts. The lessons are arranged in a logical order, starting with basic phonetic sounds and progressing to more complex words and rules. In addition to the spelling lessons, the book includes a variety of exercises and activities to help students practice their spelling skills. These include dictation exercises, word puzzles, and fill-in-the-blank exercises. One of the unique features of the Elementary Rational Speller is its emphasis on the use of rational thinking in spelling. Rather than simply memorizing lists of words, students are encouraged to understand the underlying rules and patterns of the language. This approach is designed to help students become more confident and effective spellers. Overall, the Elementary Rational Speller is a valuable resource for teachers and students alike. Its clear and concise lessons, engaging exercises, and emphasis on rational thinking make it an effective tool for improving spelling skills in primary and lower grammar grade students.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
