DIVISION IN LINES OF DISPLAY
DIVISION IN LINES OF DISPLAY
As a rule division is never used in lines of display. In these cases the
display is the important thing. Every word long enough to be divided is
important enough to be displayed and emphasized. Divided words are weakened
words. Lines of irregular lengths are used of set purpose.
In title pages words of bold display must never be divided. In minor lines
of display, such as subtitles and summaries, words are often divided. A
subheading of two lines should never be divided in the first line when it
is possible to turn the full word over on to the next line. The shortening
of the first line is never a blemish, but a too short second line following
a hyphened first line is always a fault.
There is a school of ultra-artistic composition in book titles which
affects a solid squaring up and hesitates at no means to secure its
effects. It sets a definite measure and forces the lines into it, dividing
words arbitrarily and using no hyphen. This is a passing fancy and will
pass as eccentricities always pass. It should not be used unless the author
insists upon it. The man who pays the bills has a right to have his work
done as he pleases. The intelligent printer, however, will not allow the
peculiarities of the individual customer to affect his general practice.

Home Spelling Practice
Provide extra practice for words that are difficult to learn. Use a variety of materials and leave some time between practice sessions. Suggested materials: write words on a chalk board or easel, use a dry erase board or index cards. Have your child write the word in a sentence while leaving out a key word for you to guess!

Concentration: Two players compete. First, make a set of word cards: half of the cards have a common prefix or suffix written on them, such as re-, non-, -er, -ment; the other cards have base words that can be combined with affixes to create real words you want your child to be able to spell such as rebuild, nonstop, teacher, or entertainment. Of course, not all stems will combine with all the affixes to make real words. Shuffle the cards together and lay them face down in horizontal and vertical rows; the more cards, the more challenging the game is. Players take turns turning over a specified number of cards, like four or six at a time; if any two cards turned over can be combined into a real word, the player removes and keeps those two cards. The player with most pairs at the end wins.

Hocus-Pocus: Play in pairs, with children inventing two-word rhyming phrases within a given time; for example, night-flight, fat-cat, golden-holden, great-mate. The player who calls out the last rhyming phrase when the time expires is the winner.
