You are welcome. Let me know how you like it.
I was interested to learn that learning to read hasn’t changed much over the centuries (except for the stupid introduction of the look-say, whole-word approach). Kids first learned the alphabet and the typical sounds of the letters. Independently they memorized Paternoster and some other prayers. They were given prayer books with the alphabet and printed versions of the prayers. With little guidance, I imagine, they could gradually associate the sequence of letters in each printed word with the memorized sounds.
Also interesting: most kids learned to read first in Latin, because the prayers were in Latin. This makes the introduction to reading easier, because Latin is a more nearly phonetic language, without multiple ways of spelling the same sound or multiple different sounds from the same sequence of letters.
