A Famous American Educator: Noah Webster
1. Noah Webster was a famous American who wrote books about the English
language in America and how to use it. He was born in 1758. After he went to
law school, he wanted to become an educator. Soon he decided to write a spelling
book and a grammar book. His spelling book was called the Blue-Backed
Speller. It became popular and helped many children learn to spell English
correctly. He wanted more people to know about his books, so he went from
town to town showing them to people. He called them “American books for
American children.” Many American children learned to spell and use English
correctly because they used Webster’s books.
Topic:
Main Idea:
Title:
2. Noah Webster is also famous for making an early dictionary of American

English. He saw that the people who came to live in America spoke many
languages. They couldn’t understand each other. He thought there should be
one language, or a “mother tongue,” to help people work together. His idea was
to make a book of words to show how to spell each word and what it means.
When Webster started working on his dictionary, he wanted everything in it to
be right. He wanted to know where the words came from and the different ways
we use them. He did all the work. When he finished the dictionary, it had 70,000
English words in it. He called it An American Dictionary of the English
Language.

the government in the 1800s. He checked boxes

Sam), on the boxes that had good meat. Uncle

Mount Rushmore is a mountain in

Why do some people like to hunt? People who

don’t hunt often ask this question. There are many
articles and letters in hunting magazines that cover
this topic. There is not just one answer that people
give for liking to hunt. Many writers are men who
say that hunting is something that their family and
friends like to do together. Often just the men and
boys go hunting, but there are some women and
girls who hunt, too. These writers often add that
their families have been hunting for many years.
Their grandparents and earlier family started
hunting maybe a hundred years ago. A third answer
to the question is the good feeling a person gets
from going outdoors. Sometimes a person just feels
good to be out-of-doors and far from the city. Lastly,
some hunters say they enjoy hunting and killing their own food.

Relaxing at Work
What can you do to relax while at work? One key thing to do is to keep
moving. If you have a desk job or other job that keeps you from moving much,
try not to spend the day at your desk or in one place, because that is bad for
your health. Be sure to move around twice an hour. You could move your arms
and head. Move your fingers. Then stand up once an hour. Go to the restroom.
If you can, get up and go for a short walk twice a day.
EXERCISE J Read the paragraph. Write a summary.
Samuel Colt’s Ideas

Samuel Colt was always interested in guns. He
thought about them a lot, and he was always
looking for new ideas to make a better gun. When
he was a sailor on a ship to India, he was watching
the wheel of the ship. This gave him an idea for a
new kind of gun, so he drew plans for it. He
changed the plans when he got to India because he
saw other things there that gave him more new
ideas. At first, his ideas didn’t work, but Sam tried
again and again until he made a weapon that could repeat shots. Samuel Colt was
able to do that because he looked for new ideas and never stopped trying.
