unknown words.

Whole Language
Sight Word
Drill-like activities
Flash the word in front of the pupils while saying the word aloud
Give pupils opportunities to use the word they have learnt in labelling pictures
See the words by labelling objects
Play games like bingo that require repeated us of the words
Read simple stories which use the words they are trying to learn
Ask the pupils to make up these stories
Ask pupils to use old words and new to make sentences of their own
Reading Aloud
Means reading aloud, engage students in texts that they might not be able to read
Expand their imaginations, provide new knowledge, support language acquisition,
build vocabulary, promote reading as a worthwhile, enjoyable activity
Importance
Reading aloud makes complex ideas more accessible to students and exposes
them to vocabulary
The reader’s pause and emphases allow students to better understand the
phrasing and fluency of the language and to hear new vocabulary and the way the
words are used
