  2. Language Experience Strategy; focuses on language acquisition and reading comprehension

  3. Linguistic Experience Approach; emphasizes grammar and syntax in literacy

  4. Linguistic Enrichment Approach; uses literary works to enhance language skills

The correct answer is: Language Experience Approach; a whole language approach that promotes reading and writing through the use of personal experiences and oral language

The correct answer is A. Language Experience Approach (LEA) is a whole language approach that emphasizes promoting reading and writing through the use of personal experiences and oral language. It involves connecting students' real-life experiences to the reading and writing process, making literacy meaningful and relevant to their lives. Options B, C, and D are incorrect: - Option B, "Language Experience Strategy," is not the correct term for LEA and does not accurately describe the approach. - Option C, "Linguistic Experience Approach," is not the correct term for LEA and does not accurately describe the approach. - Option D, "Linguistic Enrichment Approach," does not accurately represent the concept of using personal experiences and oral language to promote reading and writing skills, which is the essence of the Language Experience Approach (LEA).
