Problems and countermeasures of using phonics in primary school English reading learning
Abstract
This study aims to explore the current application status and existing problems of phonics in primary school English reading learning, and propose corresponding countermeasures. Research has found that phonics has a significant effect in improving students’ English reading ability, but there are still problems such as significant differences in students’ phonics abilities, insufficient teacher training, and insufficient students’ learning motivation and interest. In response to these problems, this study proposes solutions such as strengthening teacher training, stimulating students’ interest in learning, and implementing personalized teaching. The research results show that these countermeasures can effectively improve the application effect of phonics in primary school English reading learning and promote the overall development of students’ English reading ability and comprehensive quality.
