Some friendly reminders when you come to a word you don’t know:
• Look carefully at the word.• Look for word parts you know and think about the
sounds for the letters.• Blend the sounds to read the word.• Ask yourself, “Is it a word I know? Does it make
sense in what I am reading?”• If not, ask yourself, “What else can I try?”
