This book has 34 lessons divided into units of six lessons each, except for the last unit, which has only four lessons. Each unit (except the last) has five regular lessons followed by a review lesson for that unit. The units are generally self-contained, so that a student can find the spelling rules and helps for each review lesson within the same unit.
Each regular lesson has sixteen NEW WORDS and four REVIEW WORDS. Each lessons is divided into three main parts.
Part A, Sounds and Letters, drills the phonetic composition of the words in the spelling list. Spelling rules for the speech sounds taught in the lesson are given just before the work relating to them. In many of the lessons, students will need to interpret a number of phonetic spellings.
Part B, Using Your Words, emphasizes the vocabulary aspect of the spelling words. These excercises should show that the student is able to use the words intelligently. Part B also teaches some dictionary-related skills such as parts of speeech and syllable division. As with the other lesson parts, the student is expected to use the Speller Dictionary as needed to do Part B.
Part C, Building Words, emphasizes the use of words or word parts in forming other words. Plural and compound nouns, present and past tenses, prefixes and suffixes, and contractions are some of the concepts taught.
An additional part at the end of each lessons is entitled Bible Thoughts. This part is designed to link the spelling words to Bible concepts. The student is to use his Bible as needed in completing this part.
