number of different ways to approach the introduction of reading in a foreign
language.

This approach is based on letters and sounds.

2. Look and Say

This approach is based on words and phrases, makes a lot of use of
flashcard or words written on cards.

3. Whole Sentence Reading

Here the teacher teaches recognition of whole phrase and sentences which
having meaning in themselves.

teacher writes down a sentence for the child to read which based on what
the child was said.
The methods that will accompany the approach to reading above are as hereunder;

reading from left to right, turning the pages at the right place, going back
and reading the page again.
