What is the best way to learn to read?
Starting by letters, syllabes, words or sentences?
In fact, every way is valid.
They are part of the same puzzle.
If you
start wit the sentences and look for the different words, syllabes o letters, it is like starting with a finished puzzle and undoing. Taking advantage of their
first drawings or their favorite story, we ask them to explain it. Then we write an
easy sentence on a piece of paper. If we write two the same, we can
cut one into words and play them. And so
until we have the letters.
