Visual Dictation. Learners first mas ter short pronunciations of the five vowels (the a as in at, e as in pet), then some consonant sounds (p, t, s) to provide the components for a lot of words. Using what he calls "visual dictation," tapping the charts with a pointer, Dr. Gattegno lets students discover with delight that strings of sounds make words, then whole sentences, including such swinging examples as "Pat met on a mat a man as fat as Tim."
