Properties of SFES
It is often seen that the tender hands of the little ones are forced to form alphabets even before
they have learnt to speak or read with clarity. This is a common but Serious mistake.
The correct technique to teach any language is to follow the LSRW method.
L-Listening
S- Speaking
R- Reading
W- Writing
Just like everything else in life, there is a step by step process that should be followed to teach
children how to read and write.
The child needs to be trained to listen to instructions with attention, and imitate the sounds. Then
the child should be encouraged to identify the alphabets and read them correctly. Finally the
child is prepared to Write.
Only if we follow these steps in the right order, will the child's intellectual faculties be aroused.
He will understand what he is being taught.
When the order is reversed, then we will only end up encouraging the young minds to become
brainless parrots.
