Learning to pronounce words

Learning to identify words and get their meaning.

Approaches to reading.

Phonics approach

Teaches word recognition trough learning the relation to the letters and sounds they represent to teach reading.

It teaches students the letters of the alphabet and the sounds that each makes. Students use individual letter sounds to form more complex words. Letter recognition is an important first step in reading. Students learn to pair the letter with a unique sound..

Phonics approach

Looking and say

The look and say method teaches children to read words as whole units, rather than breaking the word down into individual letters or groups of letters. Children are repeatedly told the word name while being shown the printed word, perhaps accompanied by a picture or within a meaningful context.

Advantages of look and say Approach

• This teaching method is easy to grasp for the parent as it is based on words rather than individual sounds. It can also be more interesting for the child than learning sounds and their blends, as required in phonics Approach.

• Children taught with the look and say method initially show higher reading levels than children learning phonics, because they learn to automatically recognise a small selection of words.

Whole sentence reading approach.

This method teaches reading at the word level. Because it skips the decoding process, students are not sounding out words but rather learning to say the word by recognizing its written form. Context is important and providing images can help. Familiar words may initially be presented on their own, then in short sentences and eventually in longer sentences. As their vocabulary grows, children begin to extract rules and patterns that they can use to read new words.

Language Experience approach

• It's a method to develop and reinforce reading using personal experience and student's own word
• For example if a student draw a picture of a dad in the car, here the teacher should write under the drawing: Dad is in the car.

Advantages.

• It intagrates the four language processes.
• It's enjoyable and allows the child and his life to become better.
• Highly motivating.

• Incoporates emotion and fun

The right method to choose.

If the pupils have not learnt yet how to read in their own language, they will not understnd what a word is nor the difference between a spoken and written word

Five to seven yo may take longer to learn how to read than eight to ten yo

If the pupils's mother tongue is not based on the roman script then they should learn phonics and world recognition first.

If there was one correct method to choose then only one methode would exist.

Other techniques to take into concideration.

Reading aloud

Silent reading

independent, quiet reading. A block of time -- typically 10 to 30 minutes it helps student to build confidence it improves students' understanding because it helps them concentrate on what they are reading, rather than the pronunciation of individual words. When the student read silently, he can form mental pictures of the topic being discussed.

reading alound is a skill that may be useful especially with beginners to the language it helps students learn how to use language to make sense of the world; it improves their information processing skills, vocabulary, and comprehension.

it's a good idea to know what students think of a book it helps the teacher to know the suitability of the book it gives teachers some indication of their students process.
