Aurtxoa eta Aurtxoa II silabategiak

Resumen

The 60s' are a very creative decade in the Basque Country, and the Basque society makes a big progress towards education in Basque thanks to the spread of ikastolak. In that context, the need of new school material is increased, and it was found necessary to make stories and syllabaries that would allow to read in Basque. In Bizkaia, the publishing house EDILI works intensively, and the association EUSKERAZALEAK continues with that work. Both of them develop the reading method Aurtxoa. In this work, we explain the origin of Aurtxoa, making a comparison between the production and the method. On the one hand, we shed light on some formal data on production (authors, printing house, publishing house and subsidies). On the other hand, we explain in detail the process of the method, while analysing the contents.
