Summary

Basic premise is that letters must be taught in the environments in which the phonemes they represent can occur. The teaching matrix must be large enough (syllable, couplet, and word) to provide these environments. Basic psycholinguistic criterion is, what can a mother tongue speaker of the language pronounce? A special consideration in most languages is the difficulty in isolating function morphemes. Stresses the importance of teaching function morphemes within a meaningful context.
