Abstract

Use of the syllable as a unit of measurement for initial conquering of reading is advocated. It is argued that since English alphabetic writing is based on a mapping between sound-stream and symbol, a decoding approach is necessary at early stages of the conquering process. However, conventional "phonics" methods confound two very difficult tasks in initial learning: 1) acquiring the notion that the orthography tracks sound directly, and significant but indirectly; and 2) understanding that the alphabetic unit corresponds to the highly abstruse phonological unit "phoneme," which is both hard to pronounce in isolation and difficult to recognize and "blend." Information technology is suggested on the basis of research in speech communication perception that syllables are more than natural units than phonemes, because they are easily pronounceable in isolation and easy to recognize and to blend. It is claimed that introduction to a syllabary volition teach children the basic notion of sound-tracking uncontaminated by simultaneous introduction of the difficult and inaccessible phoneme unit of measurement. Preliminary show that a elementary 23-element syllabary can be caused with ease by inner-city and suburban kindergartners is presented. In particular, it is shown that this population tin blend previously untaught combinations of known syllables to form and comprehend new multisyllabic words./// [French] Cette etude preconise l'emploi de la syllabe comme unité fondamentale dans l'acquisition de la lecture. Etant donné que l'écriture alphabétique de la langue anglaise s'appuie sur la transcription de sons par l'intermédiaire de notations, cela nécessite united nations procédé de déchiffrement dans les premières étapes de cet enseignement. Pourtant, les méthodes conventionelles "phoniques" confondent deux tâches, difficiles en elles-mêmes, à ce stade initial de l'acquisition de la lecture: (1) celle d'acquérir la notion que l'orthographe accommodate les sons directement, et la signification qu'indirectement; (ii) celle de comprendre que l'unité alphabétique correspond à fifty'unité phonologique très abstraite du "phonème", unité non seulement difficile à prononcer isolément, mais difficile aussi à reconnaître et à "assimiler". Nous voudrions suggérer, d'après des recherches faites sur la perception de la parole, que les syllabes sont des unités plus accessibles que les phonèmes parce que l'on peut facilement prononcer un syllabe isolé, la reconnaître et l'intégrer. Introduire united nations syllabaire apprendrait aux enfants la notion fondamentale de la notation des sons tout en éliminant la confusion produite par l'introduction simultanée de l'unité difficile et inaccessible du phonème. D'après nos recherches préliminaires sur les enfants qui fréquentent l'école maternelle, indépendamment de leurs circonstances socio-économiques, nous avons découvert qu'ils peuvent facilement assimiler united nations syllabaire composé de 23 éléments. Nous montrons en particulier que cette population peut alors combiner des groupes, préalablement non-enseignés, de syllabes connus afin de former et de comprendre de nouveaux mots multi-syllabiques./// [Spanish] Se propugna el uso de la sílaba como unidad para la adquisición inicial de la lectura. Puesto que la escritura del inglés alfabético se basa en la representación entre la corriente del sonido y el símbolo, se sostiene que el enfoque de descifrar es necesario en las primeras etapas del proceso de adquisición. No obstante, los métodos convencionales "fónicos" confunden dos tareas muy difíciles en el aprendizaje inicial: (one) adquirir la noción de que los cursos ortográficos suenan directamente, y sólo significan indirectamente; y (two) comprender que la unidad alfabética corresponde a la altamente abstracta unidad fonológica "fonema", que es tanto difícil de pronunciar aisladamente, como de reconocer y "mezclar". Aconsejamos, en base a la investigación en la percepción del lenguaje, que las sílabas son unidades más naturales que los fonemas, porque son fácilmente pronunciables aisladamente y fáciles de reconocer y mezclar. Sostenemos que la introducción a un silabario enseñará a los niños la noción básica del curso del sonido, incontaminado por la introducción simultánea de las difíciles e inaccessibles unidades fonemas. Presentamos evidencia preliminar de que un silabario de 23 elementos puede ser fácilmente adquirido por los niños de los jardines de infantes de la ciudad y los suburbios. En especial, demostramos que esta problación puede mezclar combinaciones de sílabas conocidas, y no enseñadas previamente, para fomar y comprender nuevas palabras multisilábicas.
