The "father of American scholarship and education," American lexicographer NOAH WEBSTER (1758-1843) was an author whose astonishingly prolific career included numerous textbooks for elementary education. Prior to his works coming into wide use in the late 18th century, colonial and American students learned from primers imported from England. Webster single-handedly prompted a democratization of American English in how his textbooks taught American children to read, spell, and pronounce words, and in how he "Americanized" spelling, changing some c's to s's, dropping some l's and u's. Without Webster, George Bernard Shaw may never have been able to quip that England and America were two nations separated by a common language. Webster's basic textbook, first called The First Part of the Grammatical Institute of the English Language and later The American Spelling Book, became, in 1829, The Elementary Spelling Book. Though the book went through hundreds of editions, this replica edition represents the last, greatest, and arguably the most influential one. It is an extraordinary firsthand look at how American English was shaped.

"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 It included essays, historical documents, and other materials intended to instill a sense of national identity and virtue in American students.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.

Can ghoti really be pronounced fish? Why is "o" short in glove and love, but long in rove and cove? Why do English words carry such extra baggage as the silent "b" in doubt, the silent "k" in knee, and the silent "n" in autumn? And why do names like Phabulous Phoods and Hi-Ener-G stand out? Addressing these and many other questions about letters and the sounds they make, this engaging volume provides a comprehensive analysis of American English spelling and pronunciation. Venezky illuminates the fully functional system underlying what can at times be a bewildering array of exceptions, focusing on the basic units that serve to signal word form or pronunciation, where these units can occur within words, and how they relate to sound. Also examined are how our current spelling system has developed, efforts to reform it, and ways that spelling rules or patterns are violated in commercial usage. From one of the world's foremost orthographic authorities, the book affords new insight into the teaching of reading and the acquisition and processing of spelling sound relationships.
