- To read big and small letters of alphabet- To read simple words

5th grade- To read words and phrases

Reading: 3rd & 4th Grade Tactics

•Be sure what you do is fun!•Use big books or scanned books.•Choose books that have focus on

alphabet and site words.•Remember that the focus should

not be on children’s production.•In a way their level mimics the silent

phase a baby/toddler goes through as a native speaker.

Reading: 3rd & 4th Grade Activities

•Read aloud – passive.•Read aloud – active.•Alphabet activities.•Phonics activities.•Word card activities.

Reading: 5th & 6th Grade Tactics

level.

Reading: 5th & 6th Grade Activities

Read Aloud

• Use big books, scanned books, or multiple copies of books if available.

(Choose fun books with great pictures)

• Make it interactive, and don’t have students repeat everything you say.

They are not parrots.

• Books can be much more difficult than what the students can do on their own.

See. Think. Wonder

What do you wonder?

Dramatic Retelling

• Usually only relevant for older students or smaller classes of

younger ones.

• Have them act out a story book or a story that you have

made up in PPT.

• Give them copies of the script on paper and call for dramatic

voice rather than memorized script.

Dramatic Retelling

Words

Phonics & Sight Words.

(i) Alphabet Short Vowel Long Vowel Double Consonants

Double Letter Vowels. NOTE: BE SYSTEMATIC WITH THESE.

(ii) Sight Words 200-300 common words that make up 75% of all words that appear in children’s stories.

(iii) Fluency is important so repeated reading and repeated practice is needed.

Vocabulary Instruction

(i) Many words are learnt naturally through repetition in a variety of contexts, so

NOT every word needs to be taught by teacher.

(ii) Use word lists and word cards. It’s very simple- English on one side & Korean

on the other. This is a very efficient way.

(iii) Sight words 1st (200-300), then work on first 1000 words, then 2000.
