INICICACION A LA LECTURA

 

Mi  Primera Cartilla

La cartilla fonetica es uno de los recursos utilizados por las  personas, ninos o adultos, que se encuentran en el proceso de

aprender a leer.

Cuando esto sucede el aprendiz es instruido o ayudado por una persona que ya domina la mecanica de la lectura;

puede  que esta persona sea un maestro, tutor o persona particular que conozca claramente la mejor forma de ensenar:

  • Como suena cada letra, pues las letras tienen un nombre y ademas tienen un sonido particular:
  • Como pronunciar ese sonido correctamente y saber unirlo a las vocales para formar silabas:
  • Al unir las silabas surgen las palabras.

Los usuarios de la cartilla notaran que el orden en que aparecen las letras no es el mismo del abecedario. Esto es asi

porque a veces hay unas letras que son más faciles de combinar entre si, por lo que hemos presentado las letras

desde las más faciles a las más complejas.

Cada página presenta un sonido diferente unido a las vocales y algunas de sus posibles combinaciones.

Mi Cartilla Fonetica

Fue disenada como recurso educativo tomando en cuenta tanto a los estudiantes como a los padres y demas

educadores que desean ayudar a los más pequenos en el aprendizaje de la lecura y la escritura.

Mi Cartilla Fonetica empla el metodo fonetico basado en la teoria de que las palabras se forman al pronunciar los

sonidos de cada letra, y que luego de aprender los sonidos, estos se combinan en silabas, palabras y oraciones.

La cartilla fonetica llevara a los estudiantes por varias etapas de aprendizaje, en grados ascendentes de dificultad,

partiendo de la ensenanza de la forma y sonido de cada letra por medio de la repeticion y culminando en la combina

cion de silabas para  formar palabras, frases y oraciones.

Considerando la importancia del aprendizaje simultaneo de la lectura y la escritura, Mi cartilla fonetica  tambien le

permite a los estudiantes la práctica de la escritura a traves de todo el libro.

Mi Cartilla  Fonetica emplea unas ilustraciones adecuadas y muy coloridas con el fin de centrar el interes de los

estudiantes en el proceso de aprendizaje.

Cartilla Fonetica Faro

Iniciar a los ninos en la destreza de la klectura, es un proceso que requiere un orden y mucha disciplina. Para poder

llevar a cabo esta labor en forma sistematica, los maestros y los padres necesitan materiales actualizdos.

Tambien es necesario que los documentos didacticos armonicen con los metodos estructurados por las

autoridades escolares.

Cartilla Faro es una respuesta a esa necesidad. Su pertinencia consiste en que ha sido preparada conforme a los

niveles de la lectura estipulados por el Departamento de Educacion.  De acuerdo con estos niveles, se inicia

la lectura llevando a los ninos de los sonidos más sencillos a los más complejos.

Aunque no hay orden establecido para ensenar los sonidos en los primeros niveles, según educadores experimentados

en los grados primarios, se deben introducir de acuerdo con el grado de dificultad que representa su pronunciacioin

para los ninos.

En ese orden se encuentran en este trabajo.

Nivel 1 Vocales

Aa Ee Ii Oo Uu

Nivel 2 y 3

Mm Pp Ss Ll Cc Ff Rr Tt Jj Nn y (ay, ey)  Gg Zz vv Bb dd

Nivel 4

Rr  Ll ll Qq Hn Ch ch

Nivel 5

Pl Fl Pr Tr Cr Kk Xx Ww Yy (ya,ye)

Otros Sonidos Consonanticos

Bl Br Cl Dr Fr Gl Gr

Nivel 6

Cc (ce,ci) Gue gue Gui gui Gue gue Gui gui Gg (ge,gi)

 

El contendo de esta cartilla esta dividido en dos partes. En la primera, se presentan los sonidos en oraciones sencillas y palabras ilustradas graficamente. La segunda parte contiene lecturas adicionales  que puedan ser utilizadas una vez los ninos hayan aprendido los sonidos.

Entre otros propositos podrian servir para:

  • Practicar los fonemas.
  • Inrroducir a los ninos en las destrezas de compresion e interpretacion.
  • Fomentar la creatividad y el uso de la imaginacion.

Con la esperanza de poder ayudar en la tarea de iniciar a nuestros  ninos en el fascinante mundo de la lectura, dejamos

este trabajo en las manos de padres y educadores.

Fiesta de Palabras

Actividades para la Comunicación oral y escrita Nivel Pre-escolar. El proposito del cuaderno es conribuir al desasrrollo

e destrezas que le permitan al nino iniciarse exitosamente en la lectura. El cuaderno incluye experiencias de aprendizaje

que cubren las artes del lenguaje, aunque con mayor enfasis en la lectura.

Las primeras 17 paginas estan dedicadas al reconocimiento visual de las vocales. No obstante, se incluyen leccioines

en las cuales los ninos escuchan, hablan, leen y trazan lo que les permite el desarrollo integral del lenguaje.

A partir de la pagina 18 se introducen 24 palabras que le nino reconocera a primera vista utilizando la asociacion

con las laminas y la clave de configuracion. Este vocabulario sera la base para el uso sistematico de la clave de

analisis fonetico que se inicia formalmente en el cuaderno Ven a leer.

El cuaderno incluye siete láminas a todo color que facilitan la expresion oral y el desarrollo de destrezas de

lectura: identificar la idea central, identificar detalles, hacer inferencias y otras.

El enfasis que hace Fiesta de Palabras en el desarrollo del lenguaje y de las destrezas de comprension e interpreta

cion a nivel oral hacen que este cuaderno sea distinto y muy valioso para la transicion a la etapa de inicio formal

de la lectura.

Mi Metodo de Lectura

 

Forma de Ensenar Cada Sonido:

Todos sabemos que las letras tienen un nombre y un sonido. Ambos son dos cosas diferentes. Por ejemplo, la letra

P. Su nombre es “pe” y su sonido suena algo parecido como si dijeramos “pu”. Toda persona  (maestro o tutor)

que este ayudando a un nino a dar sus primeros pasos en la lectura debe conocer esta diferencia entre el sonido y el

nombre de las letras muy claramente para asi poder obtener las mejores resultados. Cuando se esta ensenando a

leer nos referimos a las letras por su sonido. Ejemplo: Si vamos a leer la palabra papa, el maestro ayuda al nino diciendo

: La “pu” con la a “El nino dira “pa y se repite  lo mismo para la silaba siguiente que es igual a la primera. El maestro

invita al nino a leer la palabra cpmpleta: “Papa” de corrido. Si se presenta alguna dificultad para leerla, comenzar

de nuevo con los sonidos como al principio, continuar el proceso hasta lograr que se lea la palabra de corrido.

Cuando ensenamos a leer se vuelve una costumbre mencionar las letras por su sonido. Sugiero que si no sabe como

emitir el sonido de cada letra  pregunte a un maestro o persona capacitada antes de comenzar a ensenar a leer a alguien.

Quiero recordarles que el libro debe ser siempre utilizado como una aplicación de lo aprendido en clase. No se

debe comenzar la clase utilizando el libro. El maestro debe prepararse y saber de antemano que va a ensenar y

comenzar la clase en su fase concreta (objetos reales). Por ejemplo, el maestro debe estudiar de antemano la

paginas o sonidos a ensenar ese dia y consequir los objetos que aparecen ilustados en cada pagina en forma real,

siempre que sea posible, luego de una breve conversacion para crear el ambiente sobre el tema del dia el maestro

ira presentando los objetos reales asegurandose de que el nino saben lo que es (significado de las cosas). Asi cuando

se va al libro lo que el nino vera graficamente sera algo con lo que ya se le ha relacionado concetamente,

sera algo conocido con lo que sera mas facil bregar. Luego viene la frase semiconcreta. Esta puede lograrse

utilizando siluetas en fieltro, papel de construccion o cualquier otro material adecuado. Estas siluetas

deben estar relacionadas con el tema o pagina bajo estudio. En el felpografo o la pizarra se prepara un ejercicio

parecido al que se va a trabajar en el libro. Se realiza varias veces.El ejercicio presentado en el libro viene

a ser la presentacion grafica o abstracta de lo que el estudiante ya ha visto en las etapas anteriores. Sirve para

evaluar si aprendio lo que el maestro o tutor le eseno ese dia.

Antes de Leer

 

Destrezas y ejerciciois preparatorios para la lectura por el metodo silabico tradicional o la lecto-escritura.

Antes de aprender a leer, por medio del metodo silabicio-tradicional o por el metodo de lectoescritura, toda persona

debe pasar por un proceso de aprendizaje de unas destrezas a las que los educadores llamamos destrezas basicas.

Cuando vamos a construir una casa nos aseguramos de prepararle una buena y solida base, o zapata, para que no

se nos derrumbre, o caiga mas adelante. Tambien todos sabemos que gateamos antes de caminar. Eso es

lo que representan las destrezas presentadas en este libro para los ninos que lo trabajen: una solida base y una buena

etapa de gateo como preambulo a la lectura. Es lo que comunmente se conoce como el apresto para la lectura. Esta

es una experiencia bien pre-escolar,ya que se espera que cuando un nino llega al primer grado tenga

conocimiento y dominio de estas destrezas, para asi poder realizar mejoir el trabajo que le espera en este grado.

Las destrezas a las que me refiero, aparecen en este libro organizdas de acuerdo a su grado de dificultad

(de lo facil) e ilustradas con llamativos dibujos para que el estudiante, una vez concluido su trabajo, los

colores si asi lo desea. Esto a su vez, le ayudara a ejercitar y desarrollar los musculos de las manos. Se han

sugerido colores, pero el estudiante puede decidir cambiarlos por los que mas le agraden. Tambien sugiero

colorear o “puntear”, que no es otra cosa que llenar de puntos la parte que se colorea del dibujo, ejerciciio

que ayuda grandemente al desarrollo visomotor. Los ninos escogeran la forma que mas les agrade.

Los nombres de las destrezas basicas que aparecen en el libros son:

Reconocimiento de colores; Captar detalles; Detalles de Forma; Tamano; Posicion;

Direccion; Asociacion;Clasificacon; Orden; Orden de Sucesos; Rima; Reconocimiento de Vocales .

A traves del libro, el nino tiene oportunidad de desarrollar otras destrezas muy importantes como son:

Seguir Instrucciones; Desarrollo de Lenguaje; Coordinacion Motriz; Enriquecimiento de Vocabulario; Seguir

Visualmente de Izquierda a derecha; Organizar e interpretar series de laminas en secuencia; Comparacion y

Contrastacion; Llegar a Conclusiones; Crear Historias; Movimiento coordinado entre los musculos de los ojos y

las manos (Visomotor); Deseo de aprender y Sentido de pertenencia (Cada nino tendra y cuidara su libro)
