Children like repetition, therefore we have chosen pre-reading activities such as songs, chants, games and stories that contain repetitions in terms of spoken English to make their learning an enjoyable experience. PURPOSE OF PRE-READING ACTIVITIES As most of our Malaysian children do not have the exposure to spoken English at a young age, it is essential that pre-reading activities are introduced before starting them on the Phonetic Reading System. The pre-reading activities enable the child to hear the spoken language through songs, chants, games and stories. And because children find the English expressions enjoyable, they love to repeat them, thus making the learning effective. |
