The American Instructor

"The American Instructor", by Rensselaer Bentley, is a meticulously crafted spelling book designed as a successor to English and other spelling guides. This volume contains a carefully curated selection of commonly used words, divided for ease of learning, accented to indicate stress, defined for clarity, and with pronunciation accurately marked. It's an invaluable resource for students seeking to improve their spelling and pronunciation skills, and offers a window into 19th-century educational practices. Bentley's work emphasizes a structured approach to vocabulary acquisition, making it a useful tool for both classroom instruction and self-study.
