How do you use the Word Identification Strategy when you are reading?
|
First, I start reading. When I come to a word I don't know, I try to say some of the sounds and read the whole sentence to see if I can guess the word. If that doesn't help me, I look at the beginning of the word to see if there is a pre fix or a beginning part that I can say. Then I look at the word to see if there's a suffix or ending part that I can say. Then I try to say the stem. If I can't, I break the stem of the word down into small parts using the Rules of Twos and Threes. I try to say all the parts together.

When do you ask someone for help or look in the dictionary?

If I can't make sense of the word after using the Word ID steps 1-5.
