Has apricot but one p? by Linda Welch -SOLD!
Sold
The collaged pages come, in part, from a book entitled, Fundamentals of Spelling, a teacher's guide from 1928. While reading through the book, I revisited my own learning experience; in particular the page long lists of words to spell. I found that I was stopping to read through the list and practice my spelling. This book is a visual application of the layers that build up through the schooling process.
