Chunks

 
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.
