After the copy
has been completed, compare it word by word with the original, and if
errors are found, copy the entire story again from beginning to end,
and continue to copy it till the copy is perfect in every way.
2. When the story has been accurately copied with the original before
the eyes, let some one dictate it, and copy from the dictation,
afterward comparing with the original, and continuing this process till
perfection is attained.
3. After the ability to copy accurately from dictation has been secured,
write out the story phonetically. Lay aside the phonetic version for a
week and then write the story out from this version with the ordinary
spelling, subsequently comparing with the original until the final version
prepared from the phonetic version is accurate in every point.
The questions may be indefinitely extended. After this story has been
fully mastered, a simple book like "Black Beauty" will furnish
additional material for drill. Mental observations, such as those
indicated in the notes and questions, should become habitual.
