This is a brand new paperback book, 8.5x11 in size. Made in the USA.

This paperback edition is an exact replica of the original & famous 1824 edition, and modern fonts have been used for ease of reading. The typesetting of this edition includes bolded main accents, which makes it easier for students to better visualize the accented syllable. This is a valuable improvement that will help modern learners quickly grasp the fundamentals of reading.

Noah Webster (1758-1843) is best known for his "American Dictionary of the English Language", but is also famous for his American Spelling Book, a hugely popular textbook for young children in the nineteenth century. In fact, The American Spelling book is one of the best selling books of all time, with over 100 million copies sold. Webster's "Blue Back Speller" with its distinctive blue cover not only taught students how to read and spell, but also included lessons on family values, ethics and government.

Webster considered multisyllabic words easy for young students, and taught them right away. The use of this speller will therefore engage young people with reading complex words much sooner than they would with modern reading programs, therefore placing learners and readers of this book at an incredible advantage.
