Question

What is this "parallel letterwise recognition" model? Is there an article on it? 71.247.145.175 17:45, 31 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Pronunciation

The pronunciation "bowma" is not very helpful. Consider "bow" as in "bowtie" and "bow" as in "bow of a ship". -- Coneslayer 21:50, 10 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I don't know which it is, but I can give the IPA for both so that someone who does can copy paste it in. Bow as in bowtie would be [ˈboʊmə] and bow as in the bow of a ship would be [ˈbaʊmə]. - Zeibura ^(Talk) 20:53, 11 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I the first three years of learning to read and write, students who are encouraged to use word boumas to memories spelling shows a greater word recognition that students who do not use this technique.

With word bouma as an aid students:

recognized words faster
saw mistakes quicker
recalled the words better after a period of time
could apply letter blends better to similar words, e.g. night, light, might
had improved skills in encoding (spelling) and decoding (reading) unfamiliar words

With the advantage of educational games on devices like tablets and pads, great success have been reached with spelling games utilizing boumas:See word bouma in action here:
