When your children are learning to read, it is important for them to try to figure out "tricky
words" on their own instead of being told what the word is.
Good readers figure out "tricky words" by:
1. looking at the pictures.
2. getting their mouths ready to make the first sound.
3. chunking the word. Look for small words inside the bigger words.
4. skipping hard words and then going back and figuring out what makes sense.
5. rereading. Ask yourself... Does it look right? Does it sound right? Does it make sense?
6. thinking of rhyming words they know.
