 PREFACE
The Division of Cagayan de Oro City has come up with this
phonemic and phonetics material as an aid in teaching reading as a
developmental form. Based on the Phil-IRI manual, thirteen modules are
involved in this material to cater to the needs of the learners. It is
composed of exercises commencing from word, phrase, sentence, and
paragraph levels. Such arrangement is done in order to motivate
learners to read the texts with reading teachers modelling them.
To settle problems on sound productions, IPA symbols are used.
Every section of the material contains samples serving as a guide for
readers to follow.
This material requires teachers to be models first in producing
sounds. Hence, explicit teaching is promoted along this aspect. The
teachers do impart sounds to learners in four levels: word, phrase,
sentences, and paragraphs emphasizing a particular phoneme in
transcribed from using IPA symbols. For mastery level, teaching of
sounds in repeated form is needed.
On the other hand, the story has to read orally by the learner while
the teacher listens. The teacher corrects immediately the learner when
error is committed or just count the mistake without interrupting,
depending upon the purpose of the teacher. The comprehension
questions will be answered by the learner upon the teacher’s assistance.
If the learner answers in vernacular but is correct, it is credited as one
point since comprehension assessment is the target. However, if the
purpose of reading is mastery, the comprehension questions could be
excluded.
It is hoped that this material empowers both teachers and students
to love reading.
