The Development of Reading Skill 1 Phonics-based instruction 2 Literature-based approach 4

Phonics-Based Instruction The purpose of phonics instruction is to teach beginning reader that printed letters represent speech sounds heard in words. Heilman, 2002

Phonics Based Instruction “Teach students the basic English language phonics rules so that they can easily decode words”

Effective phonics instruction Sustains a brisk pace. 1 Engages children in activities that are relevant and puposeful. Differentiates lessons based on individual children’s needs. 5 2 Matches what is read with the concepts and strategies being taughts 4 3 6 Includes writing as significant component. Engages children in decision making and hands-on activities.

Literature Based Approach Harp&Brewer (2005), Defined literature based approach to reading instruction is teaching children to read using pieces of literature, both fiction and nonfiction. Proponents of literature based instruction usually focus on the importance of using authentic literature. Using authentic literature can open doors for students by introducing them to different cultures, social structures and story lines. Literature based approach is designed to help children develop an appreciation and enjoyment of literature while at the same time developing literacy skills.

Classroom Techniques and Activities 1. Phonics One of the easiest ways to begin phonics instruction is by introducing sounds and letters that are associated with specific noun. 2. Predictable Stories and pattern books. Predictable story books, also called pattern books, contain illustrations that help to clarify or support the word, sentence, or pattern that is repeated in the text (Optiz, 1995) 3. Sight Words Sight words are high-frequency words children can recognize on sight without having to decode the letters. e. g. : the, all, an and i (sight words). • Names • Print-Rich Environment

Learning Centers Learning centers are stations or places within a classroom where children can work alone, in pairs or in a small groups.

Learning Experience Approach 01 LEA is whole language approach that promote reading and writing through the use of personal/ actual experience and oral language as the main source of content for the reading lessons 02 LEA will typically provide an activity, or an experience, so that every student has something from which to draw 03 LEA teachers use a shared experience-often involving photographs/images of that experience – as a prompt to collectively write a text with the learners. This text often a series of photographs/images with captions becomes a text that the group reads-rereads, revises and extends.

OWN WORDS Children’s own words to help young learner acquire English literacy skills.

Steps of Own Words : 01 02 03 04 The teacher ask them what words they would like to learn The teacher would write down their words in English on small cards The teacher ask children to come up with their own words related to the topics they are currently studying or words they would just like to know. These words can be written on small index cards or in the students note-book.

Questioning Techniques 98% The judicious use of questions is very important. Reading lesson, questions should be used to check comprehension and to help children think about what they are reading.

Before children read, you should ask questions to pique their interest. 1 Make sure that the number and type of questions you ask doesn’t detract from the enjoyment of reading. The questions should generate interest and enthusiasm for what is being read. 3 2 The thing should consider if we make question : Try to ask questions that help children become involved with the text 4
