Ingls II Introduccin
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 veinitn 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 apren-

Al efectuar las lecciones, tenga en cuenta que el ingls es un idioma repleto de irregularidades, en el que abundan las excepciones.

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.
