Excerpt from Spelling Efficiency in the Oakland Schools: A Report of the Oakland Spelling Investigation of October, 1914 These words were chosen from a large list used by the Division of Education of the Russell Sage Foundation in an investigation of the spelling ability of children in elementary schools. Taking the 1000 words, found by a previous exhaustive investigation to be most commonly used in writing, these words were made into lists, with which children in nearly 100 American cities were tested. On the basis of these tests the words were then classified in groups by grades, each word being placed in the grade wherein it had been correctly spelled on an average by 70 per cent. Of the children. That is, the 10 words for grade 2 were spelled correctly by 70 per cent. And incorrectly by 30 per cent. Of second grade pupils in these 100 cities, and. Similarly for each of the other grade groups. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
