1. Explain some methods of teaching reading for young learners that you know about!
Answer :
 Reading a story from a book
If we as a teacher read stories, the stories which we read will be the stories that our
pupils read. It means that we encourage our pupils to learn reading.
 Reading a class story
This method has advantage that you can photocopy freely, making sure that everyone
has a copy, and the pupils can color their own copies. There’s also the point that shared
stories are always a good starting point simply because they are shared.
 Reading texts based on the child’s language
This approach has proved effective with beginners in both age groups. The ideas is that
each individual pupil has his or her own written text which say what he or she wants it to
say, and is used for both mother tongue and foreign language learning. When working in
the foreign language, it is important that the teacher does not set the pupil a task which
he or she does not have the words for in the language. For example, there is no point in
pupils bringing in the picture of the place where they live, if they have no words to talk
about it.
 Reading familiar nursery rhymes and songs
Most children learn nursery rhymes in their mother tongue and in English without having
a complete understanding of what they’re saying. Some nursery rhymes are produced as
books, so the children can ‘read’ what they already know off by heart. While you might
say that this is not real reading, the pupil can behave like a reader, and it helps to build
up confidence. As we have said before, there is also a very narrow dividing line between
knowing something off by heart and actually reading the words.

2. Which teaching method is the most effective to teach young learners? Explain the steps of your
chosen teaching method!
Answer :
 I think the most effective method to teach young learners is “Reading a story from a
book”.
The steps of this method are :
- We create a routine for story reading, and then we have to read with quite a small
group.
- Read the book so that our pupils can see it, and point to the words as you say them.
This is important if your pupils are to understand the connection between the
spoken and the written word. It also helps these beginners to understand what a
word is. Some children may think that ‘butterfly ‘ is two words read at just under
normal speed the first time, keeping your intonation correct.
- Let pupils point and ask questions if they want to, but not so much that it interrupts
the flow of the story.
- Encourage our pupils to talk about the story. Ask questions to their own language.
- Leave the book in the book corner. Tell the group they can read it on their own if
they want to.
- The next week, read the story again. Let them give you some of words.
- Give our pupils their own copy if possible and tell them to follow it while you read to
them. Encourage them to point to the words as you read, but don’t slow down.
- If you see pupils pointing to the wrong words, sit with them and point with them.
- Let them read the book silently for themselves .
- Tell them they can read the book whenever they have time.
