1870 October, C. E. Aprague, “Visible Speech”, inThe American Educational Monthly, volume 7, page413:
As the English race has sinned most in the matter of bad spelling and an incomplete alphabet, so it ought to take the lead in restoring the science ofalphabetics to a form which shall be perfectly and completely phonographic.
1874, Alexander John Ellis,On Early English Pronunciation, page992:
The examinations of living Indian pronunciation (pp. 1136-1140), though merely elementary, together with the account of ancient Indianalphabetics as collected, through Prof. Whitney's translation, from theAtharva Veda Prâtiçâkhya (pp. 1336-1338), may also prove of use in Aryan philology.
1874,American Annals of the Deaf: 1874 - Volume 19, page69:
If, therefore, Mr. Bell, instead of trying the (so far as time and labor are concerned) costly experiment of Visible Speech on the poor deaf-mute, would make it his task to propagate among American teachers of articulation the philosophy of Englishalphabetics, which his father described in the work from which the above passage is cited, he would do far better service to the cause in which he is enlisted.
2002, John Kruidenier,Research-based Principles for Adult Basic Education Reading Instruction, page48:
Almost all of the studies with results related toalphabetics were conducted with adult non-readers or beginning readers and none compared the effects of alphabetics instruction across reading levels.
2012, Barbara H. Wasik,Handbook of Family Literacy, page187:
Direct and explicit instruction inalphabetics involves systematically teaching students how to manipulate the sounds in words, develop their knowledge of letter-sound relationships, and apply this knowledge to reading words.
2021, Heidi Anne E. Mesmer,Alphabetics for Emerging Learners, page 1:
We have worked out the essentials of teachingalphabetics in the remaining chapters in the book.
