A PHONIC MANUAL 
 
 INTKODUCTIOX 
 
 The tlieory of teacliing luading bv the Plionie System 
 is eonstnietive ; the niateiial is given to the cliil<l ami 
 he builds for himself. To assist the teacher in pro- 
 viding sucli material is the object of this .Manual, but 
 it is not intended that the nietliixls presented should be 
 followed absolutely. Each teacher will evolve for herself 
 such plana as may be most .suitable to the character of 
 her class and its environment. 
 
 The aim should be to vary the work as much as 
 possible, and to impres.s an idea on the mind, not by 
 repetition, but by presenting it in a variety of ways. 
 
 SUGGESTIONS 
 
 1. Proceed slowly at first, and l)e sure that the chil- 
 dren learn the correct sounds of the letters. 
 
 Do not teach the names of the letters, but speak of 
 them by name, and the children will learn them 
 incidentally. 
 
 Avoid naming the letters by their sounds. 
 
 Great care should be taken not to allow the consonants 
 to be sounded as syllables. When this is done a coali- 
 tion of sounds is impossible. A child will not readily 
 recognize the word "mat" by sounding "mii-a-tri." 
 
 Initial consonants merely indicate the position of the 
 organs of speech moulding the vowel following. 
 
2 PHOXIC .VAXrAL 
 
 2. Before takinc; up a new lutter, j^ive some word 
 problems, containing tlie sounds already taught. 
 
 3. Use script for blackboard lessons. In the Primer, 
 print is introduced early in order that children may 
 have an opportunity, in books or newspapcu-s, to make 
 use of the knowledge they have gained. 
 
 4. In asking l)eginners to write down words, pro- 
 nounce these very slowly, separating each sound. 
 
 As there are so few words available for use before the 
 children have gained command of several sounds, the 
 words that are used for word recognition must neces- 
 sarily be repeated for word writing, or vice rersa. 
 
 5. Aim to obtain silent reading as soon as possible. 
 Naturally, the children will sound the letters aloud, but 
 encourage them to whisper the sounds, and in time .silent 
 reading will follow. 
 
 6. A sliding curtain is necessary adjunct to the 
 blackboard of a priinaiy teacher. The seat-work or 
 story may be written on the board beforehand, and 
 covered by the curtain ; when the time comes for the 
 work, this will create more interest among the children. 
 
 7. Colored crayons add a pleasing variety to black- 
 board work, and may lie used in many ways to great 
 advantage. 
 
 ((. The new letter or combination may be written in 
 colored chalk, to impress it upon the minds of the 
 very little ones. 
 
 b. The silent loiters in irregular words may be treated 
 in the same way. 
 
DEVICES FOR WORD RECOGNITION 8 
 
 c. In writing or printing a story or series of sentences 
 
 on the board, it is well to write an occasional line 
 m some bright color; this is a help to the children 
 in toUowing the lines. 
 
 d. To assist in the formation of letters, in the early 
 
 stages, the children may trace with colored chalk 
 letters written on the blackboard. 
 
 B£IVC£S TO HELP IN OBTAINING QUICK WORD 
 KECOCNITION 
 
 1. Game of "Hide and Seek."-Ask the children to 
 
 blackboard, and cover it with the curtain. At the call 
 ot ready show the word for an instant and again 
 
 the woi-d will say what it is. 
 
 2. The "Burning Hou8e."_Make a sketch of a large 
 house on the bc«ird, and in it write several words. The 
 children, who are the "firemen," will see who can be 
 hrst to rescue each word as it is touched by the 
 pointer. The names of the articles an.l people may b! 
 erased as soon as each one is " rescued." 
 
 3. Write a woi-d on the board and era.se it immedi- 
 ately , see who can say tlie word. 
 
 4. The game of " Fishpond," suggested on page 2C. 
 
 5. Sketch a "Christma.s Tree," and on it write the 
 names of various presents. See who can first tell the 
 name of the gift touched by the pointer. 
 
 it to h"V T'' °" '"•"" '^'^"•^'^ '•''''''' '''' ''™ «how 
 to the cla.ss for an instant. Whoever is the first to 
 
4 PHUNIC MASVAL 
 
 recognize tlie woid will Imvo tlif next woid written on 
 his slate. 
 
 7. Write a command on the 1)( iird, mid the one who 
 reads it first may perform the action. 
 
 8. The "Grab Bai;." — Sketch a larije 1 aj; on the 
 board and in it write the names of stveral articles. 
 The children will be interested in fjetting as many 
 prisies as possible. 
 
 M 
 
 Key word — " mat " 
 
 "M" has been chosen as the; first letter tj be taught, 
 not only because of its ea.sy sound, but also on account 
 of its simple form. 
 
 The teacher should get for her.self the right sound of 
 the letter to be taught by analyzing the key word given 
 for this purpose. 
 
 Pronounce .slowly, dwelling on each sound, seveial 
 small words containing " m," as ma, mat, am, mop, 
 meet, etc. 
 
 Let the children tell the word named. 
 
 This may be termed giving "sound exercise," and 
 the words used may contain letters that have not been 
 taught. 
 
 At first pronounce almost naturally, then gradually 
 increase the length of the sound of each letter. 
 
 This exercise should be given before each lesson until 
 the children have the power to coalesce sounds rapidly. 
 
 As children are always interested in living things, it is 
 well to endow the firet few letters with life ; and then. 
 
SOLr.XP OF M 5 
 
 by appropriate stories, impress tlair form mid liiiiction 
 oil tliu minds of tlio little ones. 
 
 Bring the clans, supplied with slates and jjeiicils, to the 
 blacklxmrd at least once each day, and with .some little 
 story or tjdk like the followini;, introduce the new letter. 
 "One day, while walking in the orchard, I heard a 
 sound like this (giving .sound of 'in'). ^Vhat do you 
 think it was?" Some may say "a train," others "a mill," 
 and likely .some will suggest " the bees." " Yes, it was 
 the l)ees." (Here allow the children to make the hum). 
 The.se bu.sy little things wele Hying in and out of 
 houses shaped like tlie.se :— 
 
 n n n 
 
 (Let the children draw them on their slates). 
 
 "But then these little bee hives were quite close 
 together like this f^." (Let the cla.s» draw the 
 sjvme). 
 
 "And by these three bee-hives was a smaller one 
 turned upside down, and then they all looked like this 
 11 lb- Now what .sound do the bu.sy bee.s make? 
 Well, that is what this little letter says." (Let the cla.ss 
 collectively and individually tell what "m" H<tyK). 
 
 Write several large "m's" on the blackboard with 
 white crayon, and allow the children to trace them with 
 colored chalk. Of course to them it must not be tracing 
 —they are dressing the letters in pretty colors for a 
 party. 
 
 The children may now draw " m," step by step, on 
 their slates.

 " On wliat does a kitten like to sleep ? " " A mat." 
 
 Let the class pronounce "mat" slowly, then more 
 slowly, separatinjj the sounds, until they are able to

 Write " t " on the board. " This straight fellow is a 
 little soldier who carries his gun straight across his 
 shoulder." Let the cla-ss draw his picture. Proceed to 
 impress the form and sound by similar plans to those 
 suggested in lessons on " m " and " a." 
 
 Be very careful that the children do not sound " t " as 
 a syllable; the sound is not "tti." There is only the 
 instant contact of the tongue with the roof of the mouth.

 "taui" and "tat." 
 
 For variety, let the pupils themselves write the words 
 on the board. 
 
 It is well to allow the cliildreii to draw and write as 
 much as possible on the blacklxmrd, as it ffives freedom 
 of movement and also adds to their interest. 
 
 1. The children may draw tents on their slates with 
 " t " standing, like a little soldier, at the door of each. 
 
 2. Make a reffiment of soldiers. (Soldiers stand side 
 b^- side, a certain distance apart. This will incidentally 
 i;i\e the children an idea of spacing and of wiitiug in a 
 straight line). 
 
 3. Make the "t's" march in twos or fours down the

 EXERCISES FOR EMPHASIS, EXPRESSION, 
 ETC. 
 
 Occasionally allow the childrei: to imitate the voices 
 and cries of animals. 
 
 Ask a child to " make believe" he is a dog, and say 
 what doggie saya, what a cat, a crow, a duck, a mouse, 
 a pig, a lamb, a horse, a cow, etc., "avs. 
 
 For variety play the " Barn-yard Game." Designate 
 the children as animals, and improvise a story about 
 a farm or barn-yard. As the name of an animal is 
 mentioned, the child impersonating it will make the 
 appropriate noise. 
 
 Tell the story of "The Three Bears," and let the 
 children give tlie conversation using the different tones 
 of each bear. 
 
 The little ones in cities and towns like to give the 
 street cries. They may be newsboys, or the flypaper- 
 man, fish-, banana- or vegetable-men. 
 
 Children also like to imitate whistles, bells, etc. 
 
 Ask them to say " Oh " in the different ways, express- 
 ing sorrow, joy, anger, surprise, fecr and alarm. 
 
 These exercises aid greatly in procuring a ful' md 
 tone and good enunciation. 
 
 Teach rhymes and verses as class recitations, especi- 
 ally those which admit of variety of expression, as " The 
 Three Little Kittens," "The Five Little Pussy Cats," etc. 
 
 The elliptical sentence can be used early as an exer- 
 cise in emphasis and expression. Write on the black- 
 board " Tom's dog is -." Let several children read

 PHUNIV MASVAL 
 
 SPRLI.ING 
 
 Experience in tcachinj; the Phonic System has nhcwn 
 that excellent results in KpcUiiig may bo obtaiuid by 
 leading the children to observe certain facts about 
 words, when teaching various sounds. 
 
 The same combinations occur often enough to estjvb- 
 lish what may bo called rules, and with practice the 
 children learn to spell those words " that do not keep 
 the rule," i.e., the exceptions of which there are a few in 
 almost every ca.se. 
 
 It is not intended that these "lules" be memorized by 
 the pupils, but that the facts be impressed when the 
 les.sons in which they occur are being taught. 
 
 Others might be added, but it has been found that 
 the following are quite sufficient for little children. 
 
 1. When "s," " f " or " 1 " occurs at the end of a word, 
 and is immediately preceded by the short sound of a 
 vo (vel, the "s," " f " or " 1 " is doubled. 
 
 2. When"pl,""tl,""cl," "fl," "dl." "gl," etc., are the 
 final sounds in a word, the silent letter "e" is always 
 added, as : — sample, needle, tumble, poodle, etc. 
 
 3. We double the letter when there is only one sound 
 between the short vowel and final "le," as: — apple, cattle, 
 middle, shuWe, nibble, etc. 
 
 4. a. "k" occurs at the end of words. It also follows 
 
 "ar" and the long vowels. 
 h. "ck" follows the short vowels. 
 
SI'KI.I.ISd

 6. "tch" followH tliu Hli'irt vowels except ii the wordo 
 murh, Huch, rich, touch, which, OHtricli, sandwich, 
 
 fi. We double the letter when there is only one sound 
 Ijetwcen the short vowels and "er." 
 
 7. II. When "v" is the final sound in a word it i» 
 
 always followed by silent "e." 
 h. " V " is never doubled. 
 
 8. We double the letter when there is only one sound 
 between the short vowel and " ing." 
 
 9. We double the letter when there is only one sound 
 between the short vowel and "y" (short sound). 
 
 10. We double the letter when there is only one 
 sound between the short vowel and "ow" (o). 
 
 11. When soft "g" follows the short vowel, the letter 
 "d " is inserted.
