3. A ii.Guidelines to beginning reading: 
1. It is preferable to begin reading only after acquiring some basic knowledge of the spoken 
language. Reading thus becomes an exercise in recognizing meanings rather than just 
decoding symbols. 
2. It is most practical to begin with single letters (the conventional phonic method), starting 
with the most common and useful. The most common digraphs (two letter combinations 
that make a single sound like th, sh, ee) must be taught. 
3. It is helpful to teach learners how to pronounce the letter as it is read in a word and teach 
the name later. 
4. Names of people, commercial products or places provide a lot of extra words that a 
learner can read and recognize. 
5. The conventional alphabetical order should also be taught. 
The ability to read and understand English is acquired mainly through later reading activity in 
which learners have the opportunity to engage repeatedly with written texts. For learners to start 
developing reading fluency they need a lot of practice at the early stages in reading and 
understanding very short simple texts, at word and sentence level. The teacher can supplement 
the course material with learning tasks ordered from the easiest to the most difficult using work 
sheets or work cards. 
Examples of Tasks: 
Letters in words: These exercises focus on single letters, wherein learners have to identify the 
letters in words which they already know in their spoken form.
