When I was younger I remember I learned language from my mother reading different books to me and by using nursery rhymes. I had a book with every single nursery rhyme you could think of in it. That was my favorite book and I still had it until a couple of years ago. I also used the popular program called Hooked on Phonics. I found it very easy to learn language from this device because you got to listen and visually see a word as you were practicing it over and over again. As I was going through school each week we got some spelling words and we would go over them in class once and then on Friday we would have a spelling test. I think that this was a horrible way to teach phonics and language in the classroom because we were not encouraged to learn the words or use them every day. Most students just memorized them for the test then after the test we couldn’t remember them because we were not taught to use the language.
As a future teacher I fell that you have to understand that every child learns differently and it is your job to come up with an array of activities for students to learn language.
