This finding contrasts with the common phonics practice of emphasizing "word families," in which students practice phonics rules in sets of highly similar items (e.g. cat, hat, pat, bat). In sum, there are clear applications for varied practice for students and educators alike; tapping these principles could improve generalization of knowledge ...

A slightly variant way of executing people by means of impalement was to force an iron meat hook beneath a person's ribs and hang him up to die slowly.
