Ingls Introduo
A seguinte descrio do que pode ser chamado de leitura conjunta d algumas dicas muito importantes sobre o processo de leitura. O Sr. Smith aprendeu as letras do alfabeto cirlico, mas ele no teve tempo para aprender a falar russo. O Sr. Smirnoff aprendeu a falar russo desde pequeno mas nunca aprendeu a ler em russo. Um dia o Sr. Smirnoff recebeu uma carta de um parente escrita em cirlico, mas ele no pode ler a carta. Ele mostra a carta para o Sr. Smith. O Sr. Smith no pode entendla, mas tudo bem porque o Sr. Smith pode ler a carta em voz alta e o Sr. Smirnoff pode reconhecer as palavras e interpret-las; ambos ficam contentes. A questo que precisa ser respondida a seguinte: Quem est lendo, Smith ou Smirnoff? Obviamente para ser fluente em uma lngua necessrio que o estudante aprimore as duas habilidades que o Sr. Smith e o Sr. Smirnoff adquiriram. justamente por esta razo que o Mtodo Pimsleur ensina leitura de uma maneira especial. Ler pode ser definido como o ato de decodificar material grfico para se poder obter e determinar uma

mensagem. Colocado de outra maneira, ler consiste em retornar fala atravs de smbolos grficos. Cada texto representa uma possvel expresso vocal, mas apenas indivduos com alguma fluncia podero deduzir como um texto escrito vai soar em voz alta. Portanto, falar uma lngua o primeiro passo necessrio para adquirir a habilidade de ler e entender o sentido. As lies de leitura neste livro proporcionam o segundo passo. As lies foram criadas para ajud-lo a associar sons e mudanas de sons com as letras do alfabeto em ingls. Ingls americano I contm 21 lies de leitura: as quais esto todas juntas no fim do curso.
