March 16. Learning to Recognise and Spell Words

[ The Topic of the Journal ]
Suppose your younger brother, nine year old, does not read in English yet, so your mother decided to send him to Hakwon. But 3 months later he ended up feeling that English is simply nightmare. He hates doing phonics workbook and memorizing words. He doesn't want to go to Hakwon anymore. Your mother is anxoius and worried about your brother, so asks you how to help him enjoy reading in English? What would you say?




I think learning phonics is important in learning English. Phonics help learners to recognize words and read. So many Hakwons and their techers teach phonics to young children. However, most activities to teach phonics are boring because they are simply repeting the target sounds without meaning and context. To make them fun and useful, teachers need to use story books, chant songs, and activities. For example, teachers can use a dice game in which three students roll a dice one by one to make a new word contains three sounds. If the sounds are 'p', 'u', 'b', the new word is 'pub'. After teacher reads the new word correctly, students repeat it. Because the new word was made by activity and students themselves, studnets are motivated and interested in read the word.
