| | Cognitive Designs: Symbol Accentuation Reading Program |
 | | The Symbol Accentuation Program begins phonetic reading and writing instruction by teaching children to "fix" a few letter-sound relationships and then by helping them to combine these letters into meaningful words. |
 | | For example, while films used in Lessons 16-26 accentuated all letters in order to provide sequential cues for the appropriate sounds, the last four films from Lesson 27-30 show the first two letters (a consonant and a vowel) as a unit: e.g., ca, mo, ri, etc. Leaving only the final consonant in its "accentuated" form. |
 | | The purpose here, of course, is to decrease the dependence on letter accentuation and, at the same time, to train students to cope with the first letters of a word as a unit. |
