Abstract
The study explored the effectiveness of phonics instructional approach on pupils’ achievement in reading. The study adopted a non-equivalent control group quasi-experimental design using a sample of 116 primary two pupils in Awka South LGA of Anambra state. English Reading Achievement Test (ERAT) was used to collect data. The instrument was face and content validated and subjected to trial testing that yielded a reliability index of 0.88 using Kudder-Richardson formula 20. The treatment lasted for five weeks. Data collected were analysed using mean and analysis of covariance (ANCOVA). The hypothesis was tested at 5% probability levels. The result indicated that pupils taught reading using the phonics instructional approach achieved significantly higher than those taught with the look and say method. This means that the phonics instructional approach proved superior to the look and say method in improving pupils’ achievement in reading. It was thus recommended, among others, that English language teachers should adopt the phonics instructional approach as an alternative to the look and say instructional approach in teaching reading.

Key words: Achievement, Primary school pupils, Phonics Instructional Approaches, Reading
