INGLS II
La lectura se puede definir como la accin
de descodificar materiales grficos con el fin de
determinar su mensaje. En otras palabras, la lectura
consiste en regresar al idioma hablado por intermedio
de los smbolos grficos que lo representan. Cada
texto escrito representa una posible expresin
hablada, pero slo las personas que tienen algn
dominio del idioma hablado pueden inferir de forma
razonable cmo el texto escrito se podra expresar en
voz alta. Por lo tanto, el hablar el idioma es un primer
paso indispensable para adquirir la capacidad de leer
el idioma y entenderlo. Las lecciones de lectura en
este folleto ofrecen un segundo paso: se disearon
para ayudarle a asociar los sonidos y los cambios de
sonido con las letras del alfabeto ingls.
Ingls II contiene veinituna lecciones de lectura.
A partir de la Unidad Diez, estn grabadas a final de
cada leccin y al final del curso. Usted puede hacer las
lecciones de lectura cuando le sea ms conveniente,
despus de haber completado varias unidades
habladas, o puede esperar y terminar primero todas
las unidades habladas y luego hacer las lecturas al
final. En las lecciones de lectura se incluyen palabras
y expresiones que usted ha aprendido, as como

palabras nuevas. Las instrucciones completas para
hacer la lecciones se encuentran grabadas junto con
las lecturas.
Al efectuar las lecciones, tenga en cuenta que el
ingls es un idioma repleto de irregularidades, en el
que abundan las excepciones. Las orientaciones que
se dan en estas lecciones reflejan patrones generales,
mas no reglas fijas. No obstante, en la medida en
que vaya aumentando su vocabulario, descubrir
que estas excepciones representan menos y menos
dificultades. Usted comenzar a reconocer vocablos
y los percibir como entes completos, eliminando
as la necesidad de vocalizarlos slaba por slaba, o
de descodificarlos, letra por letra. Prosiga leccin
tras leccin con las lecturas, al paso que ms le
convenga, repitiendo cada lectura cuantas veces
quiera hasta que usted se sienta preparado para pasar
a la siguiente unidad.
