A Measuring Scale For Ability In Spelling (1915) (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9781161723717)

""A Measuring Scale For Ability In Spelling"" is a book written by Leonard P. Ayres and published in 1915. The book is designed to provide a standardized method of measuring a student's ability in spelling. Ayres believed that spelling was an important skill for students to master and that there was a need for a consistent way to assess their progress. The book contains a series of spelling tests, each of which consists of 10 words. The words are arranged in order of increasing difficulty, with the first test containing the easiest words and the last test containing the most challenging words. There are a total of 20 tests in the book. Ayres' method of scoring the spelling tests is based on the percentage of words spelled correctly. He provides a table that allows teachers to convert the percentage score into a grade level equivalent. For example, a student who scores 80% on Test 6 would be considered to have the spelling ability of a typical 6th grade student. In addition to the spelling tests, the book includes instructions for administering and scoring the tests, as well as suggestions for using the results to improve spelling instruction. Ayres also provides data on the spelling abilities of students in various grade levels, based on his research. Overall, ""A Measuring Scale For Ability In Spelling"" is a valuable resource for teachers and educators who are interested in assessing and improving their students' spelling skills. It provides a standardized method of measuring spelling ability and offers practical advice for using the results to enhance instruction.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
