Resumo: I propose in this article, based on recent findings from neuroscience, demystifying the global method of learning how to read, which still boasts many supporters in Brazil, despite its official condemnation in countries like France. I trace a brief history of its emergence and unfolding, exemplifying the use in Brazil with some booklets. I present, then, empirical evidence from neuroscience about the biological constraints imposed to the retina for capturing more than twelve characters of the printed line during one fixation; in addition, I explain how the brain specialized region, called left ventral occipital-temporal one, processes written information, demonstrating that the recognition of the word does not occur by configuration. Adopting phonic methods does not imply ignoring the existence and necessity of top-down processing in parallel, since reading and learning are anchored in previous linguistic knowledge, driven to support the recognition of the written word. At the end, brief comments about phonic methods.

Traçarei um breve histórico de seu surgimento e desdobramentos, exemplificando o uso no Brasil com algumas cartilhas. Apresentarei, a seguir, evidências empíricas das neurociências sobre os limites biológicos à captação pela retina de mais do que doze caracteres a cada fixação sobre a linha impressa e sobre como a região especializada para tal, a região occípito-temporal ventral esquerda, processa a informação escrita, demonstrando que o reconhecimento da palavra não se dá por configuração. Finalizarei asseverando que a opção por métodos fônicos não implica ignorar a existência e necessidade de processamentos top-down e em paralelo, uma vez que a leitura e sua aprendizagem se ancoram em conhecimentos prévios armazenados na memória linguística, acionados para sustentar o reconhecimento da palavra escrita. Ao final, breves considerações sobre os métodos fônicos.Editora da PUCRS - ediPUCRS2013-04-11info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionPsicolinguísticaapplication/pdfhttps://revistaseletronicas.pucrs.br/ojs/index.php/fale/article/view/12142Letras de Hoje; Vol. 48 No. 1 (2013): Research and Teaching of Reading and Writing: Psycholinguistic Studies; 6-11Letras de Hoje; Vol. 48 Núm. 1 (2013): Pesquisa e Ensino da Leitura e da Escrita: Estudos Psicolinguísticos; 6-11Letras de Hoje; v. 48 n. 1 (2013): Pesquisa e Ensino da Leitura e da Escrita: Estudos Psicolinguísticos; 6-111984-77260101-3335reponame:Letras de Hoje (Online)instname:Pontifícia Universidade Católica do Rio Grande do Sul (PUCRS)instacron:PUC_RSporhttps://revistaseletronicas.pucrs.br/ojs/index.php/fale/article/view/12142/8875Scliar-Cabral, Leonorinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess2013-08-07T14:41:42Zoai:ojs.revistaseletronicas.pucrs.br:article/12142Revistahttps://revistaseletronicas.pucrs.br/ojs/index.php/falePRIhttps://revistaseletronicas.pucrs.br/ojs/index.php/fale/oaieditora.periodicos@pucrs.br || letrasdehoje@pucrs.br1984-77260101-3335opendoar:2013-08-07T14:41:42Letras de Hoje (Online) - Pontifícia Universidade Católica do Rio Grande do Sul (PUCRS)false
