"A Spelling-Book for Advanced Classes" by Oliver Optic is an educational tool from the 1800s intended for older students to sharpen their spelling and word skills. The book aims to improve students' spelling and ability to break words into syllables by focusing on tough vocabulary. It's made as a next step after regular spelling books and is for kids who already know the basics of language. The lessons challenge students to use what they already know, along with dictionaries, to figure out how to spell and understand tricky words, with each lesson providing thirty complex words designed to make students better spellers and more independent learners.
