Exercise 64: IELTS Reading: paragraph headings
Read the following paragraph and choose the best heading.
‘Phonics’ refers to a method for teaching speakers of English to read and write
that language. Young learners are taught to associate the sounds of spoken
English with letters or groups of letters. For example, they might be taught that
the sound /k/ can be represented by the spellings c, k, ck, ch, or q. Using
phonics, the teacher shows the learners how to blend the sounds of letters
together to produce approximate pronunciations of unknown words. Phonics is
a widely used method of teaching children to read and decode words. Children
begin learning to read using phonics usually around the age of 5 or 6.
Questions:
A) A new method for language learning
B) How phonics benefits children in the UK
