The Alphabet - Brenda Martin

Résumé :
Welcome to an exciting & successful way to teach the alphabet & its phonetic sounds, which are the basic foundations of learning to read. By combining multi-sensory methods (auditory, visual, & kinesthetic) with association memory techniques, learning is accelerated & enhanced. The senses of sight, hearing, & touch are merged with memory training to help students be more successful in reading. Reading -a complex concept- becomes easier to learn by using these techniques. Reading--a complex concept--becomes easier to learn by using these techniques. Reading ,a complex concept --becomes easier to learn by using these techniques. Reading requires knowledge of the letters & their phonetic sounds on an automatic level & must be over-learned to be in a person's long-term memory. When a student struggles to recall the sounds for the letters, reading & spelling is less smooth. Large numbers of adults & children do not make all the letters' sounds correctly. This book can help them correct these common mistakes through picture association & stories. I developed the methods in this book over the years to find the most effective ways of teaching. My classes have consisted of economically dis- advantaged, special education students with dyslexia, learning disabilities, & severe learning problems. Stories were composed from unique pictures to help students visualize the letters while remembering the phonetic sounds. With the ability to see the letter inside the picture, the student knows 2 words beginning with that letter's sound. This helps students know the direction of the letters, thereby decreasing reversals or flipping of letters. Visual & auditory memory improves. A difficult concept is simplified & made fun & interesting. The letters & the sounds go along with the pictures & finally make sense. Memory is enhanced by associating the letters with the pictures & stories. Students are able to do much better because letters & their sounds are less confusing. Even similar sounding names of these letters: B, C, D, G, P, T, V, & Z are not confused....
