"Quintilian disapproves of the common practice of learning the names and sequences of the letters without regard to their form and function; he feels that such a method really hinders the child’s recognition of the letters when arranged in a different order. He prefers the syllabic method…”
Marcus Fabius Quintilianus (c. 35
– c. 100 AD) was a Roman educator and rhetorician
from Hispania, widely referred to in medieval schools of rhetoric and in Renaissance
writing.
