Excerpt from Elementary Rational Speller: A Speller for Primary and Lower Grammar Grades

From that part of the list which is printed in Part III and Part IV have been dropped those words whose difficulties have been mastered by the learning of the words occurring previously in the list. However, the words which have been dropped from the list are repre sented very largely in the groups for phonic or Special drill, and are, for the most part, the words which occur with dashes to indicate missing letters. While the word-list contains only about three thousand words, it actually represents five thousand words of the original list, and practically, by its classification of difficulties, several thousand more.

No attempt has been made to include in the list proper names and semi-technical and technical terms. Such words do not properly belong to a list of this kind. The teacher is well aware when children come upon these words, and when they will first need to write them; and such words should receive attention in their due season, which no Speller can anticipate.
