EGRAPSA Alexandros:
>We teach children to read by teaching them to "cipher" (or "decode", as we say
in education) the letters and words, but then we make them practice
reading, because it is only by practicing that they master it. The
same goes for Greek.>
Actually, we teach children to read a language
that they already speak.
And yes, I would agree that the same should go for Greek.
While reading is a wonderful language learning tool, indespensable,
I'm not much of a believer in language learning thru reading-only,
nor do I think that reading can be the first foundation or core of a
truly efficient pedagogy.
