The Text Book and Work Book in Learning to Spell: An Experiment in Spelling at Tipton, Oklahoma
This study was made to determine the value of two types of textbook, for the pur pose of advising patrons of the school as to the purchase of textbooks. It is essential, especially during times of economic depres sion, that the public be relieved of the neces sity of buying instructional accessories which may have only convenience value. Spelling was chosen for a test because many patrons, pupils, and even some of the teachers thought the spelling text could be discarded without any material loss in achievement.
