QUESTION 1: (12) 1.1 Hill (2008) identifies different levels of language
development in young learners. 1.1.1 Discuss the language development of

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 QUESTION 2: (28) Phonics involves the linking of the

the above scenario. (2) 3.2 Evaluate how this strategy can assist learners to
develop writing skills. (5) 3.3 Writing can be taught in a series of lessons.

reference to a writing cycle. (8) TEACHING APPROACHES QUESTION 4:
(20) Consult the e-reserves. Castles, A., Rastle, K. & Kate Nation, K. 2018.
Ending the Reading Wars: Reading Acquisition From Novice to Expert.
Castles et al (2018) affirm that, for many years, the pendulum has swung
between the phonics approach, according to which the sounds that letters
make are taught explicitly, and the whole-language approach, which
emphasises the child’s discovery of meaning through experiences in a
literacy-rich environment. Apply the knowledge that you have acquired by
reading the above article and the study guide to answer the following
questions. 4.1 In your own words, distinguish between the phonic approach
and the whole-language approach. (6) 4.2 After you have read the article,
explain what the reading wars are about. (6) 4.3 Based on the knowledge you
