The Fuller Technique

2. WORD GAME
Arrange the jumbled
letters to form a new

• Develop skills in teaching beginning
reading using the FULLER’S
APPROACH; and
• Show positive attitude in one’s roles
and responsibilities required in

16. Activity
1. How does Fuller’s Approach differ
from Marungko Approach?
2. Why do you need to be knowledgeable
and skillful in the different approaches
in teaching beginning reading?

17. Fuller Technique
A combination of the alphabet,
phonics and whole methods of
teaching word recognition

18. Pre-requisites Before
Teaching The Fuller
Technique
1. The child has mastery of the name
and form of each alphabet. The child
can identify which letters are vowels
and which letters are consonants.

19. Pre-requisites Before
Teaching The Fuller
Technique
2. The child has mastery of the regular
sounds of the consonants.

20. How do you use the Fuller
Technique in teaching reading?
1. Teach the name and form of
each letter of the alphabet.
2. Teach the regular sounds of
the consonants.

21. How do you teach the regular
sounds of the consonants?
 Introduce pictures that
begin with the target sound
(vocabulary building)
 Focus the attention on the
beginning sound of the
pictures

22. How do you teach the regular
sounds of the consonants?
 Produce the beginning
sound.
 Show the letter that
represents the sound.

24. How do you teach the regular
sounds of the consonants?
 Practice writing the letter
(while sounding it) in the air,
on the floor, etc.
 Ask for other things /words
that begin with the same
sound/letter.

26. Sequence of Teaching the
Letters in the Fuller Approach
 The sequence is based on
the frequency of the use of
consonants in the English
language.

27. Sequence of Teaching the Letters
in the Fuller Approach
 The first letter that we teach is
letter Mm
 It is followed by Ss, Ll, Ff, Tt and so
on.
 When we introduce a letter, we
show first words that begin with the
target letter. And then, we sound
out the target letter.

28.  Next is that we show how the target
letter is formed. We demonstrate
how to write the target letter in
different multi-sensory ways. Last
is we give exercises to reinforce the
target letter.
