Summary "Orthography" by Elmer W. Cavins is an educational text focused on the principles of spelling and word analysis, written during the early 20th century. This guide serves as a resource for teachers and students following the Illinois State Course of Study for seventh and eighth graders. The book emphasizes the importance of understanding word components—such as roots, prefixes, and suffixes—for improving vocabulary and linguistic skills. The opening of "Orthography" presents a preface by the author that outlines the purpose and structure of the text, which aims to aid educators in teaching word analysis effectively. Cavins discusses the value of dissecting words to uncover their meanings, stating that a deeper knowledge of language is essential for clear communication and precise thinking. Additionally, he details specific methodologies for teaching this subject, including the analysis of component parts of words and the significance of practical exercises to enhance students' understanding and retention of vocabulary. The work establishes a solid foundation for both teachers and students to navigate orthography as a critical aspect of language education. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
