, QUESTION 1: (12) 1.1 Hill (2008) identifies different levels of language
development in young learners. 1.1.1 Discuss the language development of
learners who are at the Early-reading level and explain how the knowledge of
these stages will enable teachers to assist learners in developing language in
class. (6) 1.1.2 Create TWO (2) activities that you would use to develop
language skills for Early-reading level learners. (6) STRATEGIES OF
TEACHING READING
For question 1.1.1, you could start by explaining the characteristics of learners at the Early-
reading level. These learners typically demonstrate basic phonemic awareness, recognize some
sight words, and may begin to decode simple words. They also start to understand basic sentence
structure and meaning. Teachers armed with knowledge of these stages can tailor their
instruction accordingly. For instance, they can provide plenty of opportunities for students to
practice decoding and recognizing sight words, while also introducing them to simple texts that
match their reading abilities. By scaffolding instruction and providing appropriate support,
teachers can help learners at this level build confidence and fluency in reading.
For question 1.1.2, here are two activities:
1. Word Building: Provide students with a set of letter cards or magnetic letters. Start with
simple, high-frequency words that they are familiar with. Encourage them to arrange the
letters to form the word. Once they've successfully built the word, have them read it
aloud. Gradually increase the complexity of the words as they progress. This activity
helps reinforce letter-sound correspondence and sight word recognition.
2. Shared Reading: Choose a short, repetitive text that aligns with the students' reading
level. Read the text aloud to the class, pointing to each word as you read. Then, read the
text together, encouraging students to chime in on familiar words or phrases. Finally,
have students read the text independently or in small groups. This activity promotes
fluency, comprehension, and confidence in reading, as students engage with the text
multiple times in different ways.
These activities cater to the developmental needs of Early-reading level learners by providing
hands-on practice with foundational reading skills and offering support and scaffolding as they
build their literacy skills.
QUESTION 2: (28) Phonics involves the linking of the letters of the alphabet
to the sounds they make in words (HLT3701 Study Guide 2020). 2.1 Illustrate
