Billy Madison is new to Ms. Vaughn’s class this year and is not a native English speaker. To promote his phonological processing skills, she needs to incorporate an oral language activity into her curriculum. Which of the following activities would best help Billy with his phonological processing skills?
  1. While reading, she should point out phonemes that are used by English speakers but not used in Billy’s native language.
  2. Call Billy to the front of the class and ask him to read one page of a book per day.
  3. Point out every spoken error Billy makes.
  4. Order a copy of every book in Billy’s spoken language so that she does not have to spend extra time making adjustments for him.
Explanation
Answer: A-While reading, Ms. Vaughn should point out phonemes that are used by English speakers but not used in Billy’s language. This process will help him recognize the differences early on and help him build a strong foundation for learning English. Pointing out Billy’s errors and setting him up for failure will only hamper his desire to learn English.
