Reading+Strategies

These are reading strategies we have been learning to use:

Eagle Eye (look at the pictures for clues to help you figure out the word).

Lips the Fish (Get your mouth ready to say the first sounds of the word out loud.

Read to the end of the sentence and say the sounds again).

Stretchy Snake, (Stretch out the word slowly and then put the sounds together to figure out the word).

Chunky Monkey, (Look for a "chunk" that you know, such as ing, er, ed, also look for a word part, be-, er-)

Skippy Frog, Skip It, Skip It! (Skip the word, Read to the end of the sentence, "Hop back" and read it, read it).

Flippy Dolphin, Flip the vowel sound!(try the other vowel sound if it doesn't sound right, Flip a short sound into a lond sound or vice versa).

Tryin' lion, Try It Again! (Try to reread the sentence, try a word that makes sense).

Helpful Kangaroo, Ask For Help! (After you have tried all of the other strategies, ask for help).
