Rau. [The written method]

Abstract:
The description of the page structure of R. Lindner`s textbook "Wort und Bild" (Words in Pictures) of 1911 is given here. This book contains about 450 words, of which 410 phrases are built here. The advantage of R. Lindner method is that it gives deaf-mute children rich speech material and significant mental development in the first year of study, while when taught by the traditional sound method, children receive two or three hundred words, often alien to their interests and therefore not powerful. arouse in child the desire to use speech. The written method is indispensable when overgrown children are deprived of the opportunity to take an 8-year course of study and, due to the "hardening" of the speech organs, they can no longer achieve those results in the assimilation of oral speech that are achieved with a full 8-year course. This written method should be especially recommended for teaching mentally retarded deaf-mutes, for whom the capture, memorization and reproduction of fleeting movements of the speech organs present in most cases insurmountable difficulties.
