EIGHTH GRADE DIRECTIONS TO EIGHTH GRADE TEACHERS

The minimum lessons for this grade are numbered from 1 to 25

R-3, R-4, are made up of those words in the preceding grades which are
most frequently missed by eighth grade students. The lesson marked
"Special Review," contains the hardest words, of the two thousand most
frequently used in correspondence.

In addition, there are four letters which should be given as dictation
exercises. These letters contain a large number of words which are
very likely to be misspelled, as shown by their frequency of use in

attempt to spell them.
