DEMO aligned with approaches Whole Language Approach Goodman and Chomsky Goodman emphasized that pronouncing individual words will involve the use of all three systems (letter clues, meaning clues from context, and syntactical structure of the sentence). Part of his rationale was that reading and writing were ideas that should be considered as wholes, learned by experience and exposure more than analysis and didactic instruction.

Whole Language Approach

Goodman and Chomsky

Goodman emphasized that pronouncing individual words will involve the use of all three systems (letter clues, meaning clues from context, and syntactical structure of the sentence).

Part of his rationale was that reading and writing were ideas that should be considered as wholes, learned by experience and exposure more than analysis and didactic instruction.

DEMO aligned with approaches DE Constructivist Humanistic Theory (cooperative learning) (1) Suitable for small groups (2) teachers must possess superior knowledge of the subject matter (3) people change their perceptions when they are ready (4) teachers must believe that all learners can learn, can find their own best way to learn, and will learn the things that hold meaning for them (5) a healthy and creative student-teacher relationship is very important (6) the outcomes of such education will be unique.

PWIM The PWIM is an inquiry-oriented language arts strategy that uses pictures containing familiar objects and actions to elicit words from children's listening and speaking vocabularies.

The PWIM is an inquiry-oriented language arts strategy that uses pictures containing familiar objects and actions to elicit words from children's listening and speaking vocabularies.

PWIM Teachers use the PWIM with classes, small groups, and individuals to lead them into inquiring about words, adding words to their sight-reading and writing vocabularies, discovering phonetic and structural principles, and using observation and analysis in their study of reading, writing, comprehending, and composing.

PWIM The picture word inductive model can be used to teach phonics and spelling both inductively and explicitly. The model is designed to capitalize on children's ability to think inductively. The PWIM enables them to build generalizations that form the basis of writing structure and phonetic analysis respecting their ability to think.
