Creator of the method of complex phonomimics is Dr. Margit Fazekasné Fenyvesi, titular professor emeritus. The method helps to develop the technical part of reading, secure sound / letter association, collation, and the development of continuous reading. Each letter can be associated with a series of movements or gestures that help to recall the letters of the alphabet in a visual way. The signs of the complex phonomimic alphabet capture features related to the shape and pronunciation of the letter. To achieve a close association, movements or sequences of movements were used that can be associated with auditive, visual and motor associations at the same time. One-digit consonants are shown with one hand, two-digit consonants with two hands. When performing the movements, the children should always use their left hand, according to the reading progression. Source: Dr. Margit Fazekasné Fenyvesi, Learning to read with phonomimics, Szegedi Egyetemi Kiadó, JGYF Kiadó, Szeged, 2019.
