Word Solving Prompts
· Ask, “What do you know about this word?”
· Look at the pictures.
· Look for smaller parts you know.
· Have you seen that word in another place where you knew it? Check.
· Have another go. Begin at the beginning of the sentence (or paragraph or page) and reread.
· Skip the word, read ahead, and come back. What would make sense?
· Try different pronunciations for some of the letters especially vowels.

· Ask yourself...
Does it look right?
Does it sound right?
Does it make sense?
