I like how she chooses to incorporate hermit crabs while also implementing reading and writing. It's fun for the kids, and actually having a hermit crab in front of them is allowing them to make more connections with what they are reading and writing about.

I think that this is the strategy I see kids using the most. I even introduce this strategy when I see students struggling with a word. It is just easier to break something down instead of trying to understand as a whole. After, they separate or break the word down, then they can take what they know from previous instruction and sound out the word.
Also, I think the Morphemic Analysis strategy is useful as well, but students need to have knowledge in those types of meanings. For example, they need to understand that astro means start and naut means sailor, or this strategy will be useless to them.
I believe this is a great strategy to use in the classroom because know students are not only practicing becoming more fluent readers speed wise, but they are also practicing the use of expression. This will help them use expression when they are reading independently. This also goes with Prosody. It is an important aspect of becoming a fluent
