    Learning to read can be a lot of fun! As your child grows into a mature reader, they will learn to ask their reading buddies for help and apply decoding strategies to read unknown words.

     

    When your child comes across an unknown word have them use……………….

     

     Stretchy Snake

     “Stretch it out” by saying the sound that matches each letter in the word and blending them together.

     




    Eagle Eye

    Look at the pictures or illustrations.

     

    Chunky Monkey

    Act as a word detective and look for smaller words or word parts hidden within larger words.

     

     

    Skippy the Frog

     

    Skip over the unknown word and go back and reread the sentence. See if you can figure out the unknown word.
