This invention is an integrated alphabetic language teaching system that facilitates teaching multiple levels of the arts of writing and reading to individuals aged one year and older. This invention reverses traditional methods of written language development by enabling writing prior and preliminary to reading. This invention initially teaches a set of orthographic graphemic segmental strokes by drawing geometric constructs called instructional entities composed entirely of the same orthographic graphemic segmental strokes that will subsequently be individually taught and practiced, thereby providing a student with a fundamental enabling skill with which the entire sets of 26 majuscule, 26 miniscule, 10 numerals, 14 punctuation marks and the entire lexicon of the English and other alphabetic languages may be constructed. This invention uses printed grids of elicitation frames into which, initially, elicited graphemic segmental strokes are drawn, then progresses to the elicitation of complete graphemes, then progresses to the elicitation of complete words, and subsequently progresses through the elicitation of complete phrases and sentences.
