This document provides guidance for teaching beginning reading in English. It outlines four stages:
1) Developing reading readiness through oral language activities to familiarize students with English structures and vocabulary.
2) Beginning reading using sight words, phonics, and decoding strategies like associating letters with sounds.
3) Building word recognition skills such as spelling patterns, word families, and basic sight words.
4) Constructing meaning by reading stories aloud, asking questions, and doing engagement activities to practice comprehension.
Various instructional approaches are described, including phonics instruction, motivating students, and unlocking new words. The overall message is to assess students' readiness and use appropriate beginning reading methods.
