Excerpt from A Graded List of Common Words Difficult to Spell Many thoughtful educators agree on the following points with regard to spelling: - 1. That numerous difficult words are so unusual that one may be pardoned reference to a dictionary on the rare occasions when he needs to use them. It is a waste of a child's mental energy to make him learn to spell words like chameleon and adipocere, as long as he spells which with at and together with an a. 2. That many words are so easy that they may be learned from general reading by the process of unconscious absorption. 3. That words should be arranged "so as not to bring together a number of words of the same combination, and thereby," as W. T. Harris, United States Commissioner of Education, well says, "paralyze the memory, as is too frequently the case in the lists given in spelling-books, which, for example, collect in one lesson the words ending in tion or tain, or ture, or cious, etc., thus giving to the pupil by the first word that is spelled a key to all that follow." Words of the same combination of letters can be learned, no doubt, in a short time, but school examinations show that by this arrangement no lasting impression is made on the mind.

Excerpt from The Quincy Word List: Over Six Thousand of the Commonest English Words Carefully Graded for Elementary Schools Some years ago the author of this Word List, being convinced that spelling learned incidentally, by absorption, was a failure, prepared a list of words for use in the schools under his supervision without any intention of making a spelling book, but repeated calls for the list have induced him to make it available by publishing it. When used according to the author's plan it is not merely a speller but an elementary word study, although not expected to take the place of a dictionary in the upper grades. The list contains over six thousand of the commonest words of our language, graded according to their con tent rather than according to their length, and arranged in groups adapted to a definite plan outlined under Sug gestions to the Teacher. For convenience in finding any desired word of a grade, the words are given in alphabetical order, except, where homonyms and words easily confused have been separated. The list of words for the eighth grade, together with the supplementary list, furnish twice as many words as are given in other grades, for the convenience of schools hav ing nine grades, and also for those teachers who may wish to give longer lessons in this grade.
