Excerpt from Every-Day English: Books I and II and a Teacher’s Manual
You may proceed with this book as fast or as slowly as the class requires. Much can be gone over rapidly, if the class is already familiar with it.
Review a little every day and make frequent examinations and long reviews. Have the students diagram sentences as far as they show need of it. Have them make lists of words and phrases to keep them fresh in memory; get them to study with their pencils.
Let the student learn as many of the new words and phrases as he can. But as you proceed the vocabulary should be divided into two classes: the words to be learned for ready use, and the words only to be recognized when seen or heard. Call special attention to the former, have the students underscore them, and review them often. At first all will be important.
Writing sentences is of great importance. Use loose-leaf note books so that the papers corrected by the teacher can be preserved and kept in the proper order. They should be of future value to the student. Begin with the writing of conversations (questions, answers, and do not let the student attempt essays. In conversation, written and spoken, require good full sentences, but show often how answers and even questions are abbreviated.
