Publisher's Synopsis
Pollard's Synthetic Method of Reading and Spelling is a book written by Rebecca Smith Pollard and published in 1889. The book is a comprehensive guide to teaching children how to read and spell using a synthetic approach. The synthetic method involves breaking words down into their individual sounds and teaching children how to blend those sounds together to form words. The book is divided into two parts. The first part provides an overview of the synthetic method and explains how it can be used to teach reading and spelling. It also includes detailed instructions on how to teach each sound and how to blend them together to form words. The second part of the book contains a series of graded reading lessons designed to be used with the synthetic method. Pollard's Synthetic Method of Reading and Spelling was a popular book in its time and was widely used in schools across the United States. The book is still considered a valuable resource for teachers today, particularly those who work with struggling readers and spellers. It is also of interest to historians of education, as it provides insight into the methods used to teach reading and spelling in the late 19th century.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
