Excerpt from A Complete Manual: Pollard's Synthetic Method of Reading and Spelling; Designed to Accompany Synthetic Readers and Spellers
It has been said that the motions of children are, originally, graceful, and it is by permitting them to become perverted that we lay the foundation for habitual awkwardness in later life. This is equally true of correct pronunciation. Let the same care be taken to secure good reading as is required to make an accomplished performer on the piano. Let pupils understand the full meaning of this quotation: Words should be delivered from the lips as beautiful coin, newly issued from the mint; deeply and accurately impressed; perfectly finished; neatly struck by the proper organs; distinct; in due succession and of due weight.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book offers a comprehensive guide to teaching reading and spelling using a groundbreaking method known as the Synthetic Method. The author, a seasoned educator, presents a carefully crafted system that prioritises phonics and the sounds of letters as the building blocks of language acquisition. Set against the backdrop of traditional teaching methods that often relied on rote memorization and word recognition, this book champions a more intuitive and engaging approach. It delves into the importance of proper articulation, the role of diacritical marks, and the significance of understanding the relationship between sounds and symbols. Through detailed explanations, practical exercises, and innovative tools like the "Rotary" and "ladders", the author demonstrates how to guide students towards independent reading and spelling. The book emphasises the value of active learning, encouraging students to mark, sound, and pronounce words, fostering a deeper understanding of language structure. By illuminating the principles and practices of the Synthetic Method, this book empowers educators to cultivate a love for reading and spelling in their students, ultimately paving the way for a lifetime of literacy and effective communication.
