REMARKS TO THE TEACHER

Complete answers should be given by the pupils. The simple words "yes"
or "no" do not constitute an answer in these exercises; such
expressions give no practice in the use of the language.

The teacher should prepare himself thoroughly for each lesson in order
to ask many pointed questions relative to the reading matter.

The entire time spent in reading the lesson and questioning the class
should not exceed thirty minutes. Too much detail will only confuse
and fatigue the pupils. Five or six words that present any difficulty
_either in spelling or pronunciation_ may be selected from the reading
lesson for dictation. Such words should not be given singly, but
rather in short sentences.

These sentences may first be read by the class from the blackboard and
then copied. After new slips have been distributed, the same sentences
should then be written from dictation (the writing on the blackboard
being covered or erased in the meantime). The pupils are afterwards
required to compare their work with that on the board and make the
necessary corrections themselves.
