1.Introduction

1.1 Background

When the author served as an intern at Linping NO.3 Middle School, he was distributed as an English teacher of two experimental classes. At that time, the author found a problem that some students could not spell words according to how words pronounce, and they just spell these words casually without any thinking, which is found when they did dictation work. Therefore, the author assumes that some of them didn’t have a good master of English phonetic symbols when they were in primary school and they cannot build relationship among pronunciation, word formation and meaning successfully, which heavily influences their output. Since vocabulary is the essential element of English learning, it’s of necessity for us English teachers to take different teaching strategies to help students, especially English underachievers to learn and consolidate vocabulary more easily.
