For instance, teach the pupil to identify the characters a, o, n, d, g, r, and th, in Lesson I, as the representatives of certain elementary sounds; then teach him to form the words at the head of the lesson, then other words, as nag, on, and, etc.

例えば、第一課において、生徒にa、o、n、d、g、r、およびthという文字を、特定の基本的な音の代表として識別することを教え、次に課の冒頭にある単語を形成することを教え、さらにnag、on、andなどの他の単語を教える。

Pursue a similar course in teaching the succeeding lessons.

続く課の指導においても同様の方法を追求する。

Having read a few lessons in this manner, begin to teach the names of the letters and the spelling of words, and require the groups, "a man," "the man," "a pen," to be read as a good reader would pronounce single words.

この方法でいくつかの課を読み終えたら、文字の名称と単語のつづりを教え始め、「a man」「the man」「a pen」というグループを、優れた読み手が一つの単語を発音するように読むことを求める。

II. When one of the letters in the combinations ou or ow, is marked in the words at the head of the reading exercises, the other is silent.

二、読解練習の冒頭にある単語において、ouまたはowという組み合わせの中の一方の文字に印が付いている場合、もう一方は黙字である。

If neither is marked, the two letters represent a diphthong.

どちらにも印が付いていない場合、その二つの文字は二重母音を表す。

All other unmarked vowels in the vocabularies, when in combination, are silent letters.

語彙集において、その他の印のない母音はすべて、組み合わさっている場合、黙字である。

In slate or blackboard work, the silent letters may be canceled.

石板または黒板を使った作業では、黙字を消してもよい。

III. Word Method.--Teach the pupil to identify at sight the words placed at the head of the reading exercises, and to read these exercises without hesitation.
