Solving Unknown Words

As readers come across an unknown word, they use a variety of strategies to figure the word out like:

1. Identify the beginning sound of the word
2. Identify the ending sound of the word
3. Look for part of the word they already know (break apart the word)
4. Re-read that part of the text to see if they can figure out the word from the context
5. Look at the pictures
6. Think about what would make sense

From a second grade classroom at Mitchell.  Good job, second graders!
