When You Come To A Word You Don't Know-
1. Look at the letters from left to right.
2. Think about the sounds for the letters and look for word
parts (chunks) you know.
3. Blend the sounds to read the word. First say it slowly and
then repeat it again a little faster.
4. Ask yourself: "Is it a word I know?" "Does it make sense in
what I am reading?" "Does it look right?"
5. If not, ask yourself: "What else can I try?"
