Here are a few tips you
can use when reading a story and you
come to a word you don't know.
Use the picture
clues to
help you.
•Look at the picture
clues on the page you are reading.
Pictures will give you
ideas of what is happening in the story and
can help you with a difficult word.
Break apart the word.
•Try to
look for smaller parts of a word you do know to help you with
the
unknown word.
Be sure to read
the rest of the
sentence carefully.
•Sometimes you will be
able to figure out the meaning of the word from other
words in
the sentence.
•When you think you know it ask yourself:
Does it make sense, Does it sound
right?
