Excerpt from Reading and Conversation, Vol. 1
This new method is based on the fact that the spoken language is the most essential portion and the necessary foundation of elementary studies; writing, which should begin with the transcription of sounds, is only a rough equivalent of speech, a natural accompaniment of the study of the spoken language; and reading is dependent on a knowledge of writing. Speaking, reading and writ ing belong together, and should not be needlessly separated.
With the ordinary methods, however intelligent and industrious an illiterate person may be, he can hardly study profitably by himself. He needs a teacher who can give him the pronunciation of the written words, since his book does not indicate it at all, or does so only in an imperfect way. Most words are riddles for him; he finds it hard to learn the sounds, and perhaps even more difficult to remember them. It is clear that he can learn only a few at a time, and it is natural that he should begin with the simplest ones in order to acquire harder ones by greater efforts of memory.
