We are uncertain of what the notion of a primary school was in 1833 when this dictionary was first published but the instructions to the reader are for older children or adults. A sample will suffice: "The orthography of a few words the etymology of which has been mistaken as furlow chimist melasses mold cigar redoubt redoutable controller and a few others has been corrected.

Noah Webster Jr. 1758 - 1843 was an American lexicographer textbook pioneer English-language spelling reformer political writer editor and prolific author. He has been called the "Father of American Scholarship and Education." His "blue-backed speller" books taught five generations of American children how to spell and read. "In the 'Speller' Noah Webster sought to free American language from the “pedantry” of English forms and traditions. He believed that the American people were the proper arbiters of correct speech and that spelling should be simplified and brought into better agreement with pronunciation. For Webster these changes in language were only part of a larger cultural transformation that would cut America free from what he saw as a corrupt and failing English/European mindset. His American Revolution was not just about changing political and economic institutions it was about shaping a new American identity. Noah Webster’s incredibly popular book shows how the revolutionary spirit once unleashed can push change in a variety of directions." from The Blue-Backed Speller – Forgotten Intellectual Legacy of the American Revolution 2014 .

A later edition of Webster's greatly influential spelling book. "In 1783 Noah Webster published A Grammatical Institute of the English Language. It was a concise dictionary for adults and a precursor to the 1828/1829 compendium An American Dictionary of the English Language. Webster modeled his spellers and dictionaries after English imports but included American words definitions and pronunciations. He believed that Americanizing spelling grammar and pronunciation would unify the new nation. Webster revised the first speller in 1787 under the title of The American Spelling Book and included tables of pronunciations common abbreviations and reading lessons for schools at the back of the book. Webster's son William adapted this sequel for school children in 1844 shortly after his father's death. This edition was used by the majority of literate Americans well into the mid-20th century."
