Excerpt from John Heywood's Manchester Readers, Vol. 4: A New Series for Elementary Schools of All Grades, Compiled to Suit the Requirements of Standard IV, of the New CodeThe Spelling Lessons are longer than those which have been prefixed to the Reading Lessons in the previous volumes of this series: the words of two or more syllables have been accented, to show the pronunciation of each; while in most cases, instead of one equivalent or synonym. According to the sense of the context, being given as the meaning of any word, two or more meanings have. Been given, care being taken to select such equivalents as are closest in accordance with the interpretation that has been clearly intended by the author. Some separate Exercises in Dictation, each conveying a useful lesson, have been appended, many teachers preferring to read short sentences and paragraphs of the kind introduced, instead of selecting a portion of any of the Reading Lessons.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
