The great American educator Noah Webster first published A Grammatical Institute of the English Language, otherwise known as the Blue Back Speller, in 1783. His goal was to provide a uniquely American, Christ-centered approach to training children. Little did he know that this remarkable gem would become the staple for parents and educators for more than a century and would help to build the most literate nation in the history of the West. Many of the Founding Fathers used this book to home school their children, including Benjamin Franklin who taught his granddaughter to read, spell, and pronounce words using "Old Blue Back."

It is a little known fact that reading was taught by means of spelling for over 200 years. Today the impact of spelling on reading achievement is not as well appreciated as it once was. The late Dr. Ronald P. Carver did extensive research into the causal relationships between spelling instruction and reading ability. Carver concluded, "One very important way to learn how to pronounce more words accurately is sometimes overlooked, that is, learning to spell more words accurately." (Causes of High and Low Reading Achievement, p. 178). He also notes that "spelling was used to teach reading for almost 200 years, but by the beginning of the 20th century, the tide had so turned that learning to spell was largely seen as incidental to learning to read." Quoting C. A. Perfetti, Carver observed, "practice at spelling should help reading more than practice of reading helps spelling." (p. 179. In June of 2004 Miss Geraldine Rodgers sent me her essay, "Why Noah Webster's Way Was the Right Way." She argued from the history of reading and the psychology of reading that Webster's spelling book method of teaching reading and spelling was superior to all other methods. I was surprised to learn that that Webster, in his 1828 American Dictionary of the English Language, defined a Spelling Book as, " A book for teaching children to spell and read." He also wrote under the entry, Spelling, "To tell the name of letters of a word, with a proper division of syllables, for the purpose of learning the pronunciation. In this manner children learn to read by first spelling the words." You can see that Webster was quite clear about the dual purpose of the spelling books in his day. You can imagine my surprise at the improvement I began to get with my tutoring students when they started working through Webster's Spelling Book. I decided to type up my own edition to use in my private tutoring and my tutoring work at the Odessa Christian School in Odessa, TX, where I teach remedial reading and Spanish. In this edition, I have retained everything in the original 1908 (descendant from the 1829 edition). The only differences relate to formatting. I chose to list the words in rows instead of columns. I also allow the words to divide at the ends of lines. I have found that this works fine for all students. We are teaching students to read and spell by syllables and not by word shapes or context. When reading and spelling are taught by the Spelling Book Method, all guessing at words from shape or context is completely eliminated. The student's total focus is on pronouncing the words correctly, high levels of comprehension are a natural result.

"The American Spelling Book," commonly known as the "Blue-backed Speller," was a textbook written by Noah Webster. It became one of the most widely used and influential educational books in American history. Webster's spelling book played a crucial role in standardizing American English and promoting a distinctly American identity in language. Key features and aspects of "The American Spelling Book" include: Spelling and Pronunciation: The primary purpose of the book was to teach spelling, pronunciation, and usage of words. It included a graded series of spelling lessons, starting from basic words and progressing to more complex ones. Phonetic Approach: Webster's spelling book was one of the first educational works to incorporate a phonetic approach to spelling. He simplified spelling by eliminating unnecessary letters and introduced new spelling conventions, aiming for a more phonetic representation of words. Pronunciation Guide: The book included a pronunciation guide to help students pronounce words correctly. Webster introduced a number of changes to reflect American speech patterns, contributing to the development of distinct American pronunciations. Cultural Influence: In addition to spelling and pronunciation, Webster's spelling book contained patriotic and moral content. It included essays, historical documents, and other materials intended to instill a sense of national identity and virtue in American students. Widespread Adoption: "The American Spelling Book" became incredibly popular and was widely adopted in schools throughout the United States. It sold millions of copies and went through numerous editions. Its influence extended well into the 19th century. Educational Legacy: Beyond spelling, Webster's efforts contributed significantly to the standardization of American English. He later went on to publish dictionaries that further shaped American linguistic norms. Noah Webster's impact on American education and language cannot be overstated. "The American Spelling Book" played a crucial role in shaping the linguistic landscape of the United States, and Webster's broader contributions to American lexicography have left a lasting legacy.
