The Whole Language Approach

The Whole Language Approach is a teaching method that emphasizes learning to read and write through engaging with meaningful, real-world texts. Instead of focusing on isolated phonics rules or drills, students experience language as a whole, encouraging them to make sense of stories, words, and sentences in context. This approach promotes understanding, comprehension, and a love for reading by integrating speaking, listening, reading, and writing activities together, reflecting how language is naturally used in everyday life. It aims to develop both skills and a positive attitude towards learning language.
