Whole Language
: a method of teaching reading and writing that emphasizes learning whole words and phrases by encountering them in meaningful contexts rather than by phonics exercises (https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/whole%20language)
Whole language is very important. "Whole language approach is an educational philosophy that teaches children to read by using strategies that show how language is a system of parts that work together to create meaning. While it may sound as if the whole language method discounts phonics as a way to teach reading, the use of phonemic awareness (or sub-lexical reading) is one of the components of the approach (https://www.verywellfamily.com/what-is-whole-language-reading-620834)" As it states this helps student with reading comprehension to create meanings.
