A first-grade teacher uses a language experience approach with beginning-level students who are English language learners. A student dictates a story based on personal experience who writes the story verbatim. The teacher then leads the students in various reading and language activities using the dictated text. A primary benefit of this approach is that it helps the student:.a. access important content-area vocabulary.
b. develop phonemic awareness in English.
c. achieve grade-level reading and writing standards.
d. make connections between oral and written English.
