SPELLING LIST

SPELLING CONTEST 1971-1972 SCHOOL YEAR

BUREAU OF PUBLIC SCHOOL SERVICE DIVISION OF EXTENSION · THE UNIVERSITY OF TEXAS

PUBLISHED BY THE UNIVERSITY TWICE A MONTH. SECOND-CLASS POSTAGE PAID AT AUSTIN, TEXAS Foreword

TIUS BULLETIN contains three lists, each of which is a source of words for the League spelling and plain writing contests in its respective division. These words have been selected to supplement the state-adopted texts, grades five through eight, inclusive. Few words in the lists are found in any of the spelling texts. Pupils are required to spell only the words in Roman type, or only one of alternate spellings which, if equally acceptable, are in Roman type. Explan­ atory words and phrases in Italics are given to assist the pronouncer to dis­ tinguish between words having the same or similar sound and are not to be written by the contestant. Guide lines have been inserted after each group of words, for the con­ venience of the student and the teacher. An asterisk ( *) indicates that the dictionary should possibly be consulted for pronunciation or definition. Should any misprints or other errors be found in the list, the teacher should report them to the State Office at once. This will be doing the League a real service, as such errors are reported in the Official Notices column of the LEAGUER. This is not only a spelling but a "plain writing" contest. More papers are rejected by the State Grading Committee because of illegible writing than because of incorrect spelling. "Plain writing" is a vital part of the contest. The special circular entitled "Writing Errors" contains many illustrations of malformed or illegible letters and examples of well-formed letters. It is available for $.10. The latest (Third) edition of Webster's Unabridged Dictionary is the authority for all spellings.
