Orthography As Outlined in the State Course of Study for Illinois

"Orthography" by Elmer W. Cavins is an educational book designed in the early 1900s to aid teachers and students in Illinois with spelling and understanding words. The book shows the value of breaking words into smaller pieces like roots, prefixes, and suffixes to help students grow their vocabulary and language skills. It begins with the author explaining how the book will help teachers show students how to examine words, giving clear communication, careful, and precise thought. He also talks about how to teach this subject, looking at the different parts of words and using activities to help students remember what they learned. With this method, teachers and students can skillfully improve their use of orthography as a key part of language learning.
