alleryNCERT suggests combining a whole-word approach with:
AA phonic approach
BDictation only
CSilent reading only
DTranslation drills
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: A. A phonic approach
1. NCERT holds that approaches can be mutually supportive.
2. As an example, reading instruction might include a phonic or modified phonic approach.
3. This would go along with a whole-word approach.
4. Dictation alone, silent reading alone and translation drills are not mentioned as the pairing.
**Why not the others:** Dictation only, silent reading only and translation drills are not the pairing NCERT suggests.
