These are the options for the question:

A. whole-language B. phonics C. balanced-instruction D. sound-it-out

And this is the correct answer:

B. phonics

Explanation:

The goal of the phonics approach to teaching reading is to teach students how to recognize phonemes. The teaching approach is making them read aloud different words with similar phonemes in order to learn how to distinguish the words and the phonemes.

The phonics approach is sublexical, in contrast to the whole-language approach, which is lexical in nature.
