SUMRIO
Ingls
Aseguinte descrio do que pode ser chamado de
leitura conjunta d algumas dicas muito impor-
tantes sobre o processo de leitura.
O Sr. Smith aprendeu as letras do alfabeto cirli-
co, 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 entend-
la, 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.
Aquesto 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 propor-
cionam 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. Voc pode
fazer as lies de leitura numa hora conveniente
depois de voc j ter completado algumas lies orais,
ou voc pode esperar e fazer todas as lies orais
primeiro e ento fazer as leituras no fim. Note, entre-
tanto, que as lies de leitura incluem palavras e
expresses de todas as 30 lies, assim como novas
palavras. Ento, talvez voc sinta mais satisfao
fazendo as leituras depois de ter completado as 30
lies. Instrues minuciosas em relao a como
fazer as lies de leitura esto includas na parte de
audio reservada para tal.

Ingls
Introduo (continuao)
Ao fazer as lies, lembre-se que o ingls uma
lngua extremamente irregular, com inmeras
excees e as diretrizes dadas nestas lies refletem
padres gerais e no regras rgidas. Porm, com o
crescimento do seu vocabulrio, voc vai perceber
que estas excees vo se tornando menos prob-
lemticas. Voc vai comear a reconhecer palavras e
perceb-las como palavras inteiras, eliminando
assim a necessidade de decodific-las letra por letra.
Sinta-se a vontade para proceder nestas lies de leitu-
ra no seu prprio ritmo, repetindo cada lio conforme
necessrio antes de seguir para a prxima. Talvez
voc descubra que no comeo, a leitura em ingls
exija certa prtica. Mas, com um pequeno esforo,
voc vai ficar impressionado com a rapidez com a
qual voc estar lendo.
