THE PROCESS OF İNTRODUCİNG STUDENTS TO SOUNDS AND LETTERS

Abstract

In our opinion, the leading component of the pronunciation and hearing culture of a primary school student is the ability to correctly connect the visible and audible words. The effectiveness of the development of not only oral, but also written speech of young students directly depends on the formation of this skill. The development of a clear idea about the relationship between sound and spelling in the Azerbaijani language is based on the differentiation of sound and letter in the child's mind. One of the real tools that can help students understand the natural connection between oral speech and its written form is the task of establishing orthographic-spelling correspondences in words. It is orthoepy, in particular, that deals with the study of cases of literary pronunciation and orthographic coordination, atypical for the pronunciation system, where the contrast between sound and letter composition is so obvious that it cannot be ignored.

Along with phonetics-graphics, orthoepic-spelling comparisons will increase students' success in forming correct ideas about the relationship between sound and spelling in the Azerbaijani language, and thus will create a solid foundation for mastering both literary pronunciation and spelling.
