| Throughout the school year we will be learning how to recognize and use
chunks to decode words. For example, if your child can recognize the
chunk "at", he or she should be able to read the words hat, bat, that, chat,
flat, splat, etc.
Please have your child use this reading strategy, "Looking for chunks in
words", when decoding unfamiliar words.
