Allegedly, on or about 02 October 2014, Chris Murphy sent:
Children learning languages that use roman characters learn simple
capital block letters first. Then lower case.
Depends on what country you're in. In Australia, and England (I think),
you learn the lower case letters first. You learn the sounds of each
letter, and you can figure out how to pronounce a word. You can't do
that from the sounds of the capital letters.
e.g. wall, wuh-a-ull.... wall
WALL, double-you ay el el, unpronounceable
Not the best example, off the top of my head, but it demonstrates the
process.
For that sort of reasoning, programs like Sesame Street are poorly
regarded in our pre-school educational circles.
Reminds me of Gallagher's ("Sledge-O-Matic" fame) old routine.
T-O-M-B: too-em-bh
C-O-M-B: coo-em-bh? No, "coh-em-bh"
