Reading Strategies

When they get stuck on a word, GOOD

Readers :

• Get your mouth ready for the first and last sounds

• Use the first three letters to POP the sound out

• Look at picture clues        

• Point and slide through the word -or- use their "Thumb Buddy"                                                    

• Link the word to one you know    

• Skip over and reread  

• Flip the vowel sound     

• Look for a small word or a chunk
