aved by having the pupils exchange papers
during the first two tests. The teacher should continue to correct the
papers written on the final test. The following suggestions will be
helpful in getting the cooperation of pupils. After the papers have
been exchanged say, "In writing, it is important not only that you
know how to spell, but also that you make your letters so that the
person who reads your paper can tell easily what you have written.
This is the reason that I have asked you to exchange papers. Many
people write so that certain letters cannot be told from other
letters. This is true of z, g, and y; o and a; t and l; n and u; h and
k. When you correct papers and cannot tell which of two letters the
writer intended, mark the word wrong. Also mark it wrong if a letter
has been written over or a change made. Words should be learned so
that they will be written correctly without hesitation the first time.
Any word which has not been learned so that it may be written
correctly the first time should be studied again.

"Remember that the purpose of this test is to find out which words need
further study. It does not affect your grades. You will do the pupil
whose paper you have a favor by marking his errors so that he may
correct them. Mark each error by placing after it a cross--so (x)."

Pupils should keep a special list of words which they have missed in
their compositions. These words should be studied by the same method
used in studying the regular spelling lesson. Such words will not be
taken up, however, in the regular 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.
